At the moment I'm considering using a Gigabyte iRAM as ZIL device. (see http://cgi.ebay.com/Gigabyte-IRAM-I-Ram-GC-RAMDISK-SSD-4GB-PCI-card-SATA_W0Q QitemZ120481489540QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item1c 0d41a284) As I am using 2x Gbit Ethernet an 4 Gig of RAM, 4 Gig of RAM for the iRAM should be more than sufficient (0.5 times RAM and 10s worth of IO) I am aware that this RAM is non-ECC so I plan to mirror the ZIL device. Any considerations for this setup....Will it work as I expect it (speed up sync. IO especially for NFS)? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
