This is an interesting question. Today, most ZFS implementations are done directly on devices with an effective, fixed recordsize of 512 bytes. But that isn't very efficient and things like raidz don't quite work like you might expect. Next up is 4KB sectors, which is a better starting point, IMHO. That said, ultimately it is the size of the data to be written that dictates the best answer. -- Richard Elling rich...@nexenta.com +1-760-896-4422 Enterprise class storage for everyone www.nexenta.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
