Wow, I just opened a whole can of worms there that went flying over my head. Thanks for all the information! i'll see if i can plough through it all :)
I'm guessing that i might be able to do asynchronous, but the problem is that the video is going to be streaming from a camera in real time. And its only going to the file server. Also this isnt like security footage or something. Its for a feature documentary, so we can't afford to loose any of this footage, and we really only get one try of it. Hence mirroring so at least we have two copies of it. I'm guessing that AVS is some kind of low level data replication software. correct me if im wrong. I suppose the other thing is that we need sustained transfer speeds of between 50MB/s and about 300MB/s depending on what video format we choose. So im guessing that with those speeds only fibre is going to cut it really. is this correct? thanks again for all your help Cheers Mark This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
