GigE wasn't giving me the performance I had hoped for so I spring for some 10Gbe cards. So what am I doing wrong.
My setup is a Dell 2950 without a raid controller, just a SAS6 card. The setup is as such : mirror rpool (boot) SAS 10K raidz SSD 467 GB on 3 Samsung 256 MLC SSD (220MB/s each) to create the raidz I did a simple zpool create raidz SSD c1xxxxx c1xxxxxx c1xxxxx. I have a single 10GBe card with a single IP on it. I created a NFS filesystem for vmware by using : zfs create SSD/vmware . I had to set permissoins for Vmware anon=0, but thats it. Below is what zpool iostat reads: File copy 10Gbe to SSD -> 40M max file copy 1gbe to SSD -> 5.4M max File copy SAS to SSD internal -> 90M File copy SSD to SAS internal -> 55M Top shows not matter what I always have 2.5 G free and every other test says the same thing. Can anyone tell me why this is seems to be slow? Does 90M mean MegaBytes or MegaBits?
