mail storage server type workload will not benifit with a ZIL as proven by zilstat and a postmark workload. Iam guessing Sun 7310/7410 will behave the same way with this type of workload. Do the logzillas/readzillas do anything special on these boxes ? TIA Dushyanth --Original Message

e a big file on /iftraid0/fs and watch `iostat -xnz 2` i dont see any stats for c8t4d0 nor does the write performance improves. I have not formatted either c9t9d0 or c8t4d0. What am i missing ? TIA Dushyanth -- This message posted from opensolaris.
