Lev so I ran a similar setup on 10.1-RELEASE with 40TB in a raid 1+0 like
zpool . My top looked similar but its been a while
and i had 24G of ram. With a 12G Arc max. I always wondered what was going
on here but I suspected it was due to a interaction of java and arc
eviction.
The crash plan app is terrible and would "start doing something new" up and
look hung. Disk io went to hell etc . Then things would settle down and
start chugging away.
Keep in mind crash plan would take like a month to back up 2TB of changes
on this thing. I eventually convinced management to move to a automated
tape library
and a normal backup client ( netbackup ) for the backups. Also I
abandoned this project about 18 months ago too .
