ote: I see this issue on each of my X4540's, 64GB of ECC memory, 1TB drives. Rolling back to snv_118 does not reveal any checksum errors, only snc_121 So, the commodity hardware here doesn't hold up, unless Sun isn't validating their equipment (not likely, as these servers have had no hardware issues prior to this build) -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net --Tim ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

B/sec. The backend can more than satisfy that. Who cares at that point whether it can push 500MB/s or 5000MB/s? It's not a database processing transactions. It only needs to be able to push as fast as the front-end can go. --Tim ___ zfs-discuss
