The process should be scalable. Scrub all of the data on one disk using one disk worth of IOPS Scrub all of the data on N disks using N disk's worth of IOPS. THat will take ~ the same total time.
IF the uplink or processing power or some other bottleneck does not limit that (i.e. a single 4-lane SAS link to the daisy-chain of 100 or 200 disks would likely impose a bandwidth bottleneck). I know that well-engineered servers spec'ed by a vendor/integrator for the customer's tasks and environment, such as those from Sun, are built to avoid such apparent bottlenecks. But people who construct their own storage should know of (and try to avoid) such possible problem-makers ;) Thanks, Roch, //Jim Klimov _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
