Hello Greg,
I'm curious how much performance benefit you gain from the ZIL accelerator.
Have you measured that? If not, do you have a gut feel about how much it
helped? Also, for what kind of applications does it help?
(I know it helps with synchronous writes. I'm looking for real world

A related question: If you are on a UPS, is it OK to disable ZIL?
The evil tuning guide says "The ZIL is an essential part of ZFS and should
never be disabled." However, if you have a UPS, what can go wrong that
really requires ZIL?
Opinions?

Shouldn't compression be on by default in that case? How do I put in an

Is there a bugs.intel.com? :-)
I may have misled you. I'm not asking for Intel to ad
Hello,
I would like to add one more point to this.
Everyone seems to agree that compression is useful for reducing load on the
disks and the disagreement is about the impact on CPU utilization, right?

Use the SAS drives as l2arc for a pool on sata disks. If your l2arc is
the full size of your pool, you won't see reads from the pool (once the
cache is primed).

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if the following makes sense:
To configure a system for high IOPS, I want to have a zpool of 15K RPM SAS
drives. For high IOPS, I believe it is best to let ZFS stripe them, instead
of doing a raidz1 across them. Therefore, I would like to mirror the drives

Hello David and Michael,
Well I might back up the more important stuff offsite. But in theory
it's all replaceable. Just would be a pain.
And what is the cost of the time to replace it versus the price of a hard
disk? Time ~ money.
This is true, but there is one counterpoint. If you do ra

That is incorrect information, where did you get that from ?
