Hi all,
I am trying to organize our small (and the only one) filestorage using and
thinking in ZFS-style )
So I have SF x4100 (2 x DualCore AMD Opteron 280, 4 Gb of RAM, Solaris 10 x86
06/06 64 bit kernel + updates), Sun Fiber Channel HBA card (Qlogic-based) and
Apple Xraid 7Tb (2 raid controllers with 7 x 500 Gb ATA disks per each
controller). Two internal SAS drives are in RAID1 mode using built-in LSI
controller.
Xraid is confugured like the following - 6 disks in HW RAID 5 and one spare
disk per controller.
So I have :
# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t2d0 <DEFAULT cyl 8872 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63>
/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1000,[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0
1. c4t6000393000017312d0 <APPLE-Xserve RAID-1.50-2.27TB>
/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1077,[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0
2. c5t600039300001742Bd0 <APPLE-Xserve RAID-1.50-2.27TB>
/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1077,[EMAIL
PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0
I need a place to keep multiple builds of the products (a huge number of small
files). This will take about 2 Tb - so it's quite logical to give the whole
"1." or "2." from the output above. What will be the best block size that I
need to supply to "zfs create" command to get the most from filesystem that has
a huge number of small files?
The other tank will host users' homes, projects' files and other files.
Now I am thinking to create two separate ZFS pools. "1." and "2." will be the
only physical devices in both pools.
Or I'd better go and create one xfs pool that includes both "1." and "2."?
Later on I will use NFS to share this filestorage between Linux, Solaris,
OpenSolaris and MacOSX hosts.
