I've just generated some data for an upcoming blog entry on the subject. This is about a small file tar extract :
All times are elapse (single 72GB SAS disk) Local and memory based filesystems tmpfs : 0.077 sec ufs : 0.25 sec zfs : 0.12 sec NFS service that can end up corrupting client's view of data: nfs/ufs : 7 sec (write cache enable) nfs/zfs : 4.2 sec (write cache enable, zil_disable=1) nfs/zfs : 4.7 sec (write cache disable, zil_disable=1) NFS service that will not corrupt the client's view: nfs/ufs : 17 sec (write cache disable) nfs/zfs : 12 sec (write cache disable, zil_disable=0) nfs/zfs : 7 sec (write cache enable, zil_disable=0) ZFS numbers tend to have more variability from run to run than UFS. I still need to plow through the data to figure a few things out. Watch this space for more info... -r _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
