Hi, all, while there is quite a bit of documentation on how to improve ZFS performance by using a combination of rotating disks and SSDs, I have not found much about an SSD only setup.
We are planning to try a hosting server with 8 SATA SSDs with ZFS. Things I am not at all sure about: * Does the recommended limit of 6 disks for a RAIDZ2 still hold? 2x 4 disks is quite a bit of overhead, could I use all 8 in one vdev and get away with it? (The maximum of 6 recommendation is in some old Sun doc) * Will e.g. MySQL still profit from residing on a mirror instead of a RAIDZ2, even if all disks are SSDs? * Does a separate ZIL and/or ARC cache device still make sense? Any pointers or direct help greatly appreciated. Or should I take this to freebsd-fs@?
