Hi! I'm new to OpenSolaris and have just set up my own home server with ZFS. The server seems to be working alright except for, what I can tell, extremely poor i/o performance. When creating a 4.8Gb test file with dd, I get the following iostat:
# iostat -d cmdk0 cmdk1 sd0 kps tps serv kps tps serv kps tps serv 5 1 5 1 0 2 0 0 0 r What would be the best course of action to analyze what this depends on? The disks have one UFS slice, one swap and one ZFS slice each. Essentially, they are copies of each other only I have the two ZFS partitions/slices in RAIDZ mode to simplify addition of an extra drive to a redundant pool later: # zpool status ... NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM storage ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2d0s7 ONLINE 0 0 0 Any suggestions for how to look for bottlenecks? /Ola This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
