Hi all,

After setting up our new server (Intel Q9550 CPU, 8GB RAM, 4 x ST31000340NS) i 
did a bonnie++ benchmark on the zfs raidz that i created on 4 partitions on the 
4 disks.

r...@antsrv4 [/data/nocompression] # bonnie++ -u root -d .

I am somewhat concerned about the numbers for per-char-output and 
per-char-input. In fact, i have never before seen that low numbers in a bonnie 
test. Using a single disk with UFS yields about 6 times as much.


I know that this is not crucial for a normal file server, but i want to rule 
out any configuration errors.

Is this normal for ZFS?. Disks are accessed using ahci. I did not attempt any 
tuning yet.

BTW: Running OpenSolaris on the same hardware yields 110306 for per-char-write 
and 94698 for per-char-read.
