Andrew, Correct. The reason I initially opened the case was because I could essentially hang a "zfs receive" operation and any further zfs commands issued on the box would never come back. Just today I had one of my "slow" receives just come to a screaching halt and where I saw 1 cpu spike al

I have been looking at why a zfs receive operation is terribly slow and one observation that seemed directly linked to why it is slow is that at any one time one of the cpus is pegged at 100% sys while the other 5 in my case are relatively quiet. I haven't dug any deeper than that, but was curi

Alas the pool in question has a dozen odd other ZFS' that range in importance from "nice to have" to "let's not even think about it". On the bright side, at about 14 hours in, my lights are still blinken. Here's hoping the +RAM and -xVM were the difference. One related question: In the unfort

Our experience has been that a new out of the box SSD works well for the ZIL but as soon as it's completely full, performance drops to slower than a regular SAS hard drive due to the write performance penalty in their fundamental design, their LBA map strategy and the not yet released (to me at

hello i would say: it depends if you fill your pool with large videos or media files, i suppose its ok, but if you have things like databases or webserver, you will need only good iops values, much more than you can have with spindles. (ssd could be 100x better than disks for this use) in this ca
