loving zfs and lzjb compression
currently getting 65MB/s on my SMB/CIFS setup, which is fine
wanted to thank you guys for all your help
fwiw
running this in vsphere 5
zfs set compression=lzjb yourfilesystem
zfs set sync=disabled yourfilesystem
I'll make Bonnie tonight and run it. Post it soon. What about buying piglover's arca 1261ml? Would that be better than the HP expander?If you really had SPEED GREED, you'd be using mirrors If speed is your ultimate goal with ZFS, it really is the way to go. Though, with this appearing to be a home storage server, the space lost wouldn't make a lot of sense.
While you are still in testing mode, if you are up to it, I'd love to see the results with 7 mirrored vdevs in your storage pool. Also, what are your Bonnie results on the pool as it's currently configured?
I digress, I may have taken a 2U server through a 1g turn or two.gain, I have SPEED GREED and am poor because of my SPEED GREED! (My race car is consuming all my funds right now).
If you are concerned about ZIL, and you really should be, as a best practice, I would mirror a couple SSDs and assign the ZIL to them.

Here are some good reads for everyone.So research shows that raidz disks of 3,5,7 etc are best
Nope. Not faster. As much as I'd love to sell it to you it is older generation technology....What about buying piglover's arca 1261ml? Would that be better than the HP expander?
