might be fine most of the time... rdp in particular is vulnerable to io spiking and disk latency. depends on how many users you have on that rdp vm. also wsus is surprisingly (or not, given it's a microsoft production) resource-hungry. if those servers are on physical boxes right now i'd do some perfmon caps and add up the iops. >>what you're getting out of it is essentially a 500gb >> 15k drive with a high mttdl > > That's what i wanted, a rock-solid disk area, despite a > not-as-good-as-i'd-like random IO. fair enough. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
