I would definitely consider raidz2 or raidz3 in several vdevs. Maximum 8-9 drives in each vdev. Not a huge 20 disc vdev.
One vdev gives you the IOPS as in one single drive. If you have three vdevs, you get IOPS worth of three drives. That is better than one single vdev of 20 discs. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
