about l2arc, be carefull of your block size.<br>
<br>
Because, each block need around 200 bytes of memory to be mapped in l2arc. So if you use 4K block size for example,<br>
<br>
and you put 1TB of l2arc, you need (1073741824/4 * 0.2) = 54GB of memory.<br>

<br>
<br>

<br>
first of thanks for writing an informative input.<br>
as it seems, a person must need 1 SSD for L2ARC and 2xmirrored SSDs for ZIL, now the question is do we also need a SSD for SLOG<br>
<br>
ZIL is the write cache in memory. SLOG is like a raid1 mirror to ZIL located on storage. This could be on dedicated SSD or in a partition on an SSD. In your case it could be enough to make some partitions on a reliable SSD and use it for system (ext3/4), L2ARC (10-100GB?), SLOG (1-2GB). Please remember, only sync writes goes to ZIL, in the worst case you lost 5 seconds of data if the SLOG device dies too. (no rule of thumb, you need to check your implementation details)<br>
<br>
Thanks Fabio, i have a dell workstation 490 and it only support SATAv2 or 3gb speed.<br>
<br>
do you guys think by tweaking ZFS a bit and using multiple SSDs for ZIL, L2ARC and may be SLOG can give me 4x1GB from each interface. as i mentioned i have 12GB RAM.<br>
<br>
No idea. You should play with the tunings (compression, raidz2/3). Too much variables (cpu throughput, your pool config, fragmentation of course - COW, IO direction). I have a AMD T56N system with 2 x sata port multiplicators with 6x 2.5" hitachi disks, I can achieve 50MB/sec write to them with no compression - video, but sometimes it droppes to 10-20MB/sec.<br>
So, you should test your system and monitor it.<br>
<br>
we are a small company, not too much reads and writes, we mostly checkin checkout our software codes to the VM repositories.<br>
so i think generally we have less IOPS but yes we have huge files in form of VMs and they should be backed up every week and snapshot ZFS on daily basis<br>
<br>
Raidz2/3 could be ok, depends on numbers of your disks.<br>
<br>
so with this load what you guys think, can i achieve 4x1gb Ethernet output?<br>
