It is of course ack'ed to the client once all journals have successfully written the data, otherwise journal SSDs would make a LOT less sense. > Each host in my cluster has 5x Intel S3610, and 18x1.8TB Hitachi 10krpm SAS. > The size of your SSDs (you didn't mention) will determine the speed, for journal purposes the sequential write speed is basically it. A 5:18 ratio implies that some of your SSDs hold more journals than others. You emphatically do NOT want that, because eventually the busier ones will run out of endurance while the other ones still have plenty left. If possible change this to a 5:20 or 6:18 ratio (depending on your SSDs and expected write volume). Christian > I have size=3 for my pool.
