16MB record_size

[isopix]

Hi,

Would you mind adding this file:
/etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf

# max 16M recordsize limit
options zfs zfs_max_recordsize=16777216

It doesn't change anything. Only allows creation datasets with record_size greater than 1MB (user must request 4MB or 16MB record_size, it's set as 128K by default anyway)

It's recommended to set 4MB or 16MB record sizes for bulk storage (photos/music/videos) and improves compression(larger blocks possible), fragmentation, performance and metadata size (crucial for metadata drives on SSD).

But as I stated it doesn't change default ZFS behavior, only increases maximal limit.

cheers

Should be good by now, please let me know if this helps

It should work, so I think can be closed. I need to resolve few hardware issues, before testing (assembling ZFS arrays ;-) I would also like sedutils included, but it's only in AUR for now :-( needed for hardware encryption of HDDs/SSDs ) Could you give me hint if it's possible to easily include pkg.tgz (it's not in repos) in archiso-zfs?
