However, I can't help but think that if my file server is compressing every data block that it writes that it would be able to write more data if it used a thread (or more) per core I would come out ahead.
No arguments here. MT-hot compression was the design of ZFS from day one. A bug got in the way and made compression singled threaded per zpool. -r ____________________________________________________________________________________ Performance, Availability & Architecture Engineering Roch Bourbonnais Sun Microsystems, Icnc-Grenoble Senior Performance Analyst 180, Avenue De L'Europe, 38330, Montbonnot Saint Martin, France http://icncweb.france/~rbourbon http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+33).4.76.18.83.20 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
