Hi What is the impact of not aligning the DB blocksize (16K) with ZFS, especially when it comes to random reads on single HW RAID LUN. How would one go about measuring the impact (if any) on the workload? Thank you ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-disc

We have this identical problem on all 10 or so of our thumpers. They're running stock Solaris 10, whatever came with them. We think it's starting to cause problems, as we will see a rash of those errors on one of our machines, and then NFS will stop serving. This message posted from opensola
