Dumb question: if all you plan for the users to do is send ZFS snapshots (as a backup-service or whatever), isnt 12GBs of RAM per host quite excessive?
Wouldn’t you be able to implement this cheaper using only 4-8GBs?
- stock_toaster 6y agoOnly thing I could think of was maybe dedup. However, dedup chews up _lots_ of ram. Gobs of it. To be honest, 12gb doesn't seem like enough to run dedup on something like a 6TB pool (just an example) anyway. I recall reading rough estimates of 4x (or even 5x depending) ram for dedup sizing guidelines at one time.
- vegardx 6y agoIn this case wouldn't the deduplication be done on the sending system anyway?
