To answer your question "Yes I did expect the same or better performance than standard UFS" based on all the hype and to quote Sun "Blazing performance ZFS is based on a transactional object model that removes most of the traditional constraints on the order of issuing I/Os, which results in huge performance gains. We have SLA's with the disk vendor so stacking ZFS on top of RAID is a better option for me. Seen some tweaking that can be done with the I/O Scheduling and see where that gets.
mkfile is a lousy benchmark. I'd suggest that you look at something more similar to the intended workload. Alternatively, look at micro- benchmarks, such as the open-source filebench. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
