Re: [zfs-discuss] Help:Is zfs-fuse's performance is not good

I wonder if this is the right place to ask, as the Filesystem in User Space implementation is a separate project. In Solaris ZFS runs in kernel. FUSE implementations are slow, no doubt. Same goes for other FUSE implementations, such as for NTFS. Regards, Tonmaus -- This message posted from op

[zfs-discuss] Thoughts on drives for ZIL/L2ARC?

I have a few old drives here that I thought might help me a little, though not at much as a nice SSD, for those uses. I'd like to speed up NFS writes, and there have been some mentions that even a decent HDD can do this, though not to the same level a good SSD will. The 3 drives are older LVD S

[zfs-discuss] SAS vs SATA: Same size, same speed, why SAS?

I'm building another 24-bay rackmount storage server, and I'm considering what drives to put in the bays. My chassis is a Supermicro SC846A, so the backplane supports SAS or SATA; my controllers are LSI3081E, again supporting SAS or SATA. Looking at drives, Seagate offers an enterprise (Constellat

[zfs-discuss] Identifying drives

I have one storage server with 24 drives, spread across three controllers and split into three RAIDz2 pools. Unfortunately, I have no idea which bay holds which drive. Fortunately, this server is used for secondary storage so I can take it offline for a bit. My plan is to use zpool export to take e
