Hello, I'm curious if anyone would mind sharing their experiences with zvol's. I recently started using zvol as an iSCSI backend and was supprised by the performance I was getting. Further testing revealed that it wasn't an iSCSI performance issue but a zvol issue. Testing on a SATA disk locally, I get these numbers (sequentual write):
UFS: 38MB/s ZFS: 38MB/s Zvol UFS: 6MB/s Zvol Raw: ~6MB/s ZFS is nice and fast but Zvol performance just drops off a cliff. Suggestion or observations by others using zvol would be extremely helpful. My current testing is being done using a debug build of B44 (NV 6/10/06). benr.
