I'm now getting about 90 megabytes of sustained IO from the Windows client to an iSCSI target. I'm using HD Tach (http://www.simplisoftware.com) to measure IO. Real world operations now are also averaging about 90 megabytes/second on read and write speeds (large hunks of continuous IO, of course

I think I know the problem you are encountering well, and have managed to overcome it. I'll outline here exactly how I'm creating my iscsi targets, and I'm hoping you might see where your commands are different. As Jim pointed out, the problem was that I was creating the filesystem on a cached

This thread is actually a bit different than what you're experiencing. I never see any huge memory usage from the iscsitgtd in the process table, but I'm definitely encountering memory leaks. And the box itself stays stable and at low CPU utilization. I can restart the iscsitgtd and the problems

[zfs-discuss] Best Practices recommendation on x4200

2006-11-07 Thread John Tracy
Greetings all- I have a new X4200 that I'm getting ready to deploy. It has four 146 GB SAS drives. I'd like to setup the box for maximum redundancy on the data stored on these drives. Unfortunately, it looks like ZFS boot/root aren't really options at this time. The LSI Logic controller in
