Review the following considerations when using ZFS with MySQL.
ZFS recordsize
Match the ZFS recordsize property to the storage engine block size for better OLTP performance.
InnoDB
With a known application memory footprint, such as for a database application, you might cap the ARC size so that the application will not need to reclaim its necessary memory from the ZFS cache.
Create a separate pool for the logs.
Set a different path for data and log in the my.cnf file.
Set the ZFS recordsize property to 16K for the InnoDB data files, and use the default recordsize value for InnoDB logs, prior to creating data files.
