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?
You do not need to specify a recordsize. Since your workload is not record-structured (ie. a database), you should not specify a recordsize.
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."?
It will most likely be better to create one zfs pool with both your devices. This will provide better performance and easier management. You should create different filesystems for each project, home directory, etc.
Later on I will use NFS to share this filestorage between Linux, Solaris, OpenSolaris and MacOSX hosts.
That should work just fine. --matt _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
