ZFS includes two exciting features that dramatically improve the performance of read operations. I’m talking about ARC and L2ARC. ARC stands for adaptive replacement cache. ARC is a very fast cache located in the server’s memory (RAM).

The amount of ARC available in a server is usually all of the memory except for 1GB. For example, our ZFS server with 12GB of RAM has 11GB dedicated to ARC, which means our ZFS server will be able to cache 11GB of the most accessed data. Any read requests for data in the cache can be served directly from the ARC memory cache instead of hitting the much slower hard drives. This creates a noticeable performance boost for data that is accessed frequently. As a general rule, you want to install as much RAM into the server as you can to make the ARC as big as possible.

At some point, adding more memory is just cost prohibitive. That is where the L2ARC becomes important. The L2ARC is the second level adaptive replacement cache. The L2ARC is often called “cache drives” in the ZFS systems.

These cache drives are physically MLC style SSD drives. These SSD drives are slower than system memory, but still much faster than hard drives.

More importantly, the SSD drives are much cheaper than system memory. Most people compare the price of SSD drives with the price of hard drives, and this makes SSD drives seem expensive. Compared to system memory, MLC SSD drives are actually very inexpensive. When cache drives are present in the ZFS pool, the cache drives will cache frequently accessed data that did not fit in ARC.

When read requests come into the system, ZFS will attempt to serve those requests from the ARC. If the data is not in the ARC, ZFS will attempt to serve the requests from the L2ARC.

Hard drives are only accessed when data does not exist in either the ARC or L2ARC. This means the hard drives receive far fewer requests, which is awesome given the fact that the hard drives are easily the slowest devices in the overall storage solution. In our ZFS project, we added a pair of 160GB Intel X25-M MLC SSD drives for a total of 320GB of L2ARC. Between our ARC of 11GB and our L2ARC of 320GB, our ZFS solution can cache a total of 331GB of the most frequently accessed data!

This hybrid solution offers considerably better performance for read requests because it reduces the number of accesses to the large, slow hard drives. Things to Keep in Mind There are a few things to remember. The cache drives don’t get mirrored. When you add cache drives, you cannot set them up as mirrored, but there is no need to since the content is already mirrored on the hard drives. The cache drives are just a cheap alternative to RAM for caching frequently access content.

Another thing to remember is you still need to use SLC SSD drives for the ZIL drives, even when you use MLC SSD drives for cache drives. The SLC SSD drives used for ZIL drives dramatically improve the performance of write actions. The MLC SSD drives used as cache drives are use to improve read performance.

How to Install Netflix on Wii (softmodded) I just signed up for a 30 day Netflix.ca free trial. $8/mo thereafter. Internet Update (Easier)This method uses the Multi Mod Manager to perform a network update of the shopping channel. Your wii must be connected to the internet. You don't need to softmod a Wii to install Netflix. From a non-modded Wii, all you have to do is download the Netflix channel. I would do that first, and then. Now go to 'Manage Wii Channels' and ensure the Shopping Channel and your wii's region are selected properly. Install, and return to MMM main menu. From 'IOS Manager' install IOS56, and say no to all patches. Install the Netflix channel using the wad file. And place the wbfs folder from the zip file to the root of your SD Card. And your Done! No need for a Netflix DVD or a USB key. It loads quicker than any other method in my opinion and was the easiest to get working. Also easier for kids or girlfriends to use. Enjoy watching movies.

If you decide to use MLC SSD drives for actual storage instead of using SATA or SAS hard drives, then you don’t need to use cache drives. Since all of the storage drives would already be ultra fast SSD drives, there would be no performance gained from also running cache drives. You would still need to run SLC SSD drives for ZIL drives, though, as that would reduce wear on the MLC SSD drives that were being used for data storage. If you plan to attach a lot of SSD drives, remember to use multiple SAS controllers. The SAS controller in the motherboard for our ZFS Build project is able to sustain 140,000 IOPS. If you use enough SSD drives, you could actually saturate the motherboard’s SAS controller.
