"Your system drive on a Solaris system generally doesn't see enough I/O activity to require the kind of IOPS you can get out of most modern SSD's. "
My system drive sees a lot of activity, to the degree everything is going slow. I have a SunRay that my girlfriend use, and I have 5-10 torrents going on, and surf the web - often my system crawls. Very often my girlfriend gets irritated because everything lags and she frequently asks me if she can do some task, or if she should wait until I have finished copying my files. Unbearable. I have a quad core Intel 9450 at 2.66GHz, and 8GB RAM. I am planning to use a SSD and really hope it will be faster. $ iostat -xcnXCTdz 1 cpu us sy wt id 25 7 0 68 extended device statistics r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0 0 c8 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0,0 0 0 c8t0d0 37,0 442,1 4489,6 51326,1 7,5 2,0 15,7 4,1 98 100 c7d0 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
