All the ZFS tuning guides for FreeBSD (including one on the FreeBSD ZFS wiki) have recommended values between 64M and 128M to improve stability, so that what I went with. How much of my max kmem is it safe to give to ZFS? - Dan Naumov On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 2:51 AM, Ronald Klop wrote: > Isn

The difference in layout can easily explain a 2x difference in sequential transfer performance. I seriously doubt your disk is really getting 23K seeks/s done in the UFS case - 100/s sounds much more reasonable for real hardware. Perhaps the results of caching? Joe Koberg Dan Naumov wro
