Hello,
I’m in the process to move my production storage from a zraid1 SAS HDD pool (4 drives) to a mirrored SSD pool (2 drives), and it’s a great opportunity to reshape and tweak the ZFS layout and configuration.
I’ve read some Klara’s post about bhyve and ZFS, they give nice inputs but they don’t go very deep when it comes to recordsize.
Future storage is SSD, and I would like to ensure I won’t generate too much write amplification.
I was thinking about a 8k recordsize for the storage of VMs’ disk images, but I’m really not sure.
Any pointers appreciated
