Hi all. I just built a new zfs server for domiciliate and being a long time and avid reader of this forum. I'm going to post my config specs and my benchmarks hoping this could be of some back up for others :)change by reversal me if I'm wrong: from the benchmark results. I understand that this setup is decrease at writing but fast at reading (and this is perfect for my usage copying large files once and then accessing only to read them). It also seems that at 128kb it gives the beat performances iirc due to the zfs mark size (again correct me if I'm wrong :). I'd happily try any other test but if you suggest bonnie++ gratify tell me what's the right version to use too much of them I really can't understand which to try!tnx :)

By "native give". I assume you mean IDE/ATA driver support ("ata" in modinfo) not SATA driver support. But I'd like to be wrong ;-)> On 5/20/07.

Sorry. I'm fairly new to Solaris... I'm not sure if it's using the atadriver or sata driver. Here are my current disks (0,1 and 2 are thesata disks):AVAILABLE plough SELECTIONS: 0 c0d0 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@9/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 1 c0d1 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@9/ide@0/cmdk@1,0 2 c1d0 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@9/ide@1/cmdk@0,0 3 c2d0 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@11,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0Specify plough (enter its number):Since they are labeled as "pci-ide" is it safe to assume they areusing the ide/ata driver? If so is there a performance gain whenusing a sata driver?On 5/21/07. Carson Gaspar wrote:> Christopher Gibbs wrote:> > XIU.

I wanted to affirm the drivers I was using for.
