Someone on this list threw out the idea a year or so ago to just setup 2 ramdisk servers, export a ramdisk from each and create a mirror slog from them.
Assuming newer version zpools, this sounds like it could be even safer since there is (supposedly) less of a chance of catastrophic failure if your ramdisk setup fails. Use just one remote ramdisk or two with battery backup.. whatever meets your paranoia level. It's not ssd cheap, but I'm sure you could dream up several options that are less than stec prices. You also could probably use these machines on multiple pools if you've got them. I know, it still probably sounds a bit too cowboy for most on this list though. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
