I can see a reason. In our enviroment it looks like hw raid-5 could be actually faster than raid-z. We do have lot's of small random IOs large enough that caching doesn't help. I don't have actual data as it's production and there wasn't unfortunately time to test it - just the "feeling". I belive raid-z will offer much better write performance in most scenarios but not necessary better read performance. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
