I'm waiting for the parts to come in to setup 3 new servers.
What should I expect for read or write bandwidth local to the server for 5x300GB 10K RPM U320 drives? (Old drive I know, but it's what I inheirited) Ignoring for the moment the sync semantics with NFS, what might that translate to for Maximum Read/Write bandwidth for NFS access? Is there a good rule of thumb for how many 1Gb Enet interfaces I might want to 'dladm' together to make sure the network interface isn't the 'weak link'? Each of these machines has 2 quad port Intel e1000 cards. Will the PCI (PCI-X 133Mhz 64bit) bus be a bottle neck? -Kyle _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
