Ran 3 test using mkfile to create a 6GB on a ufs and ZFS file system. command ran mkfile -v 6gb /ufs/tmpfile
Test 1 UFS mounted LUN (2m2.373s) Test 2 UFS mounted LUN with directio option (5m31.802s) Test 3 ZFS LUN (Single LUN in a pool) (3m13.126s) Sunfire V120 1 Qlogic 2340 Solaris 10 06/06 Attached to Hitachi 9990 (USP) LUNS are Open L's at 33.9 GB, plenty of cache on the HDS box disk are in a Raid5 . New to ZFS so am I missing something the standard UFS write bested ZFS by a minute. ZFS iostat showed about 50 MB a sec.
