Does that make sense? I assume the network is the bottleneck; the only way the multiple streams would go any faster than a single stream would be because you're multithreading and hogging all the bandwidth for yourself, instead of sharing fairly with the httpd or whatever other server is trying to use the bandwidth. If you're talking about streaming to a bunch of separate tape drives (or whatever) on a bunch of separate systems because the recipient storage is the bottleneck instead of the network ... then "split" probably isn't the most useful way to distribute those streams. Because "split" is serial. You would really want to "stripe" your data to all those various destinations, so they could all be writing simultaneously. But this seems like a very specialized scenario, that I think is probably very unusual. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
