I've also suggested this in the past, but I think the end result was that it was pointless:
If you have sync writes, the client does not get a reply until the data is on disk. So a SSD drive makes a huge difference. If you have async writes, the client gets a reply as soon as the server has the data, before it gets to disk. So the disk speed makes no difference to response time. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
