I'm connecting to my server via Windows iSCSI. I have NTFS formatted zvols. Each server is connected to it's own zvol.
The datasets are currently set to sync=standard. Is there any harm leaving this setting as is? It's my understanding that standard may use sync and async writes. Will async writes cause problems with NTFS?
I'm not using a SLOG so my zil is in persistent pool storage.
I am writing a bunch (about 1gb worth) of small files every hour on one zvol. The other is writing about 8gb of small files per day.
I'm not having any issue with performance. However, I'm concerned the async writes might cause corruption of the stored data.
I read in the forum that sync writes is the only way to guarantee data safety. So do I need to set sync=always?
