While I will run some further tests here, I thought I would

        Is anyone else seeing poor disk I/O scheduling or locking
        behaviour in 8.0?

Hi,
On my backup server I am seeing somewhat better throughput/performance, at least with ZFS, but I have not done any rigorous comparisons. Certainly nothing perceptible from userland


        Is anyone aware of any of the filesytem changes that
        have occurred since 7.2 that may explain this?

There are a lot, but then again the act of installing / upgrading could just mean you are now hitting bad sectors on the drive ?


        Does anyone have any thoughts on how to conclusively
        prove that the drive is at fault?  I have not seen any
        errors logged to dmesg.

Start with smartmontools to ask your disk if it has logged any errors and check once a day or so to see if sectors are being remapped.

Thanks,
Andrew.
