Hi there
Actually I'm searching a bottleneck on our Server there ships Samba, Netatalk and Bacula they has to handle hundred thousands of little files.
The Box has got two XEON's and 92 GB memory. FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 is installed on two SSD's mirrored with gmirror and it has 16x 3000 GB Drives to use with ZFS to store the data of my company
Currently the drives are configured as an RaidZ3 with 15 drives and 1 as spare. Would it be better for the performance to configure the drives as an RaidZ1 with 16 drives and no spare?
optionally I could add 2 - 10 GB for an ZIL on the SSD's
cheers Darko
