And my point here is that the expense is unnecessary and can be omitted if we choose our algorithms and settings carefully. "Async" here won't help, you'll still get equal write amplification, only it's going to be spread in between txg's. -- Saso _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
