Intel 320 as ZIL?
Are any of you using the Intel 320 as ZIL? It''s MLC based, but I understand its wear and performance characteristics can be bumped up significantly by increasing the overprovisioning to 20% (dropping usable capacity to 80%). Anyone have experience with this? Ray

does sharing an SSD as slog and l2arc reduces its life span?
Hi, I don''t know if it''s already been discussed here, but while thinking about using the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro SSD (which according to spec page has supercaps built in) as a shared slog and L2ARC device it stroke me that this might not be a such a good idea. Because this SSD is MLC based, write cycles are an issue here, though I can''t find any number in their spec. Why do I

"dynamic memory allocation" for windows guests?
Hello, In our office we would like to do something like "memory overcommitment" or rather "dynamic allocation" for a bunch of windows domUs (server 2003 & 2008). We thought this should be a simple feature, however we did not find any fitting solution. We use Xen 4.2.1 with xl toolstack. The idea is to use ballooning to dynamically (and automatically) change physical

Recommendation for home NAS external JBOD
Hi, my oi151 based home NAS is approaching a frightening "drive space" level.
