[zfs-discuss] Performance of "zpool import"?

2007-02-26 Thread Paul Fisher
Has anyone done benchmarking on the scalability and performance of zpool import in terms of the number of devices in the pool on recent opensolaris builds? In other words, what would the relative performance be for "zpool import" for the following three pool configurations on multi-pathed 4G FC
