The FusionIO MLC PCI-e device I tested is capacitor backed (just not super-cap). The OCZ Deneva SATA SSD I tested is super-cap backed. -Moazam On Nov 18, 2010 6:17am, David Magda wrote: On Thu, November 18, 2010 05:11, Moazam Raja wrote: > I tested the Fusion IO MLC based PCI-e cards

[zfs-discuss] ZFS host to host replication with AVS?

2010-06-08 Thread Moazam Raja
primary fails, your secondary can take over as the primary but the disks remain in the secondary state. There is no way to reverse the replication while the secondary is acting as the primary." Is AVS even the right solution here, or should I be looking at some other tech

[zfs-discuss] ZFS COW and simultaneous read & write of files

2010-09-22 Thread Moazam Raja
Hi all, I have a ZFS question related to COW and scope. If user A is reading a file while user B is writing to the same file, when do the changes introduced by user B become visible to everyone? Is there a block level scope, or file level, or something else? Thanks! __

I tested the Fusion IO MLC based PCI-e cards on OpenSolaris and found the performance to be amazing. Hopefully Fusion IO will release supported drivers for Solaris 11 Express and onwards. The Fusion IO MLC card was giving me around 500MB/s write performance with O_SYNC. -Moazam On Wed, Nov 17
