It is just a backup server,
Then caching is pointless.
That's irrelevant and not up to another person to decide.
Furthermore any half-wit caching solution
can detect streaming read/write and will deliberately bypass the
cache.
The problem was not performance, it was stability.
Furthermore DD has never been a useful benchmark for anything.
And if you're not using 'odirect' it's even more pointless.
Performance was not the issue, stability was.
Server has 2x SSD drives by 256Gb each
and for purposes of 'cache' should be individual VD and not waste
capacity on RAID1.
Is probably also going to be quite irrelevant to the problem at hand.
10x 3Tb drives. In addition there are two
MD1200 disk arrays attached with 12x 4Tb disks each. All
Raid5 for this size footprint is NUTs. Raid6 is the bare minimum.
That's also irrelevant to the problem at hand.
