Notice how Garret replied that these values are a bit low (and they might be indeed !). However, while you have 16gb RAM, my ZFS NAS only has 4gb. Basically and as Jeremy Chadwick pointed out at the time, there is no one set of correct values for 100% of the population. One has to adjust them step by step and decide what is best for them. _at_garret: I'll try with the values you posted, although I get 90-120mbytes/s most of the time so I pretty much saturate my 1gbs link.Received on Fri Jan 04 2013 - 14:29:36 UTC
