[zfs-discuss] Bottlenecks in building a system

In asking about ZFS performance in streaming IO situations, discussion quite quickly turned to potential bottlenecks. By coincidence, I was wondering about the same thing. Richard Elling said: We know that channels, controllers, memory, network, and CPU bottlenecks can and will impact actual p
