This is a spin-off thread from a discussion in this thread.
I would like to test performance on FreeBSD+ZFS with multiple 4K sector harddrives configured in various configurations of RAID-Z vdevs. For this i would need access to other people's systems to test performance in various configurations, and would ask anyone to consider offering his system for testing.
What do you need?
1. Server-PC which has internet access (port 22; ssh)
2. 64-bit FreeBSD OS (i recommend using the Mesa LiveCD)
3. 64-bit CPU and several 4K sector HDDs connected to non-RAID controller supported by FreeBSD.
4. At least 2GiB memory, more would be nice but not required.
How does the testing work?
1. We talk via PM/Email/IRC to discuss all details
2. I connect to port 22 to your server
3. You can watch with 'watch' utility, while i setup your disks and perform testing
4. Testing may take some time!
5. Any (valid) performance results i will post in this thread for discussion and feedback.
Hope this is a nice idea and thanks for anyone who already shared interest in helping with this. I think a separate thread is best so we can we talk freely and in-depth about the subject.
Cheers!
