I've posted the bonnie++ data the other day (14x RE4 as RAID 10, 2x RE4 as RAID 1 root). I've used two LSI SAS3081E-R. No idea about IOPS, which benchmark should I run? An interesting variation on this is to use a 24-drive chassis (with 2x3.5" internally, populated with 4x Intel SSD for ZIL and L2ARC), use 3x LSI SAS3081E-R and to use Opensolaris with zfs on top of that. There's a thread on zfs-discuss@ ongoing right now: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2009-September/thread.html Some relevant links: http://blogs.sun.com/relling/tags/mttdl http://blogs.sun.com/relling/entry/a_story_of_two_mttdl http://blogs.sun.com/brendan/entry/test http://blogs.sun.com/ahl/entry/expand_o_matic_raid_z -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
