Robert,

This doesn't look like cache flushing, rather it looks like we are
trying to finish up some writes... but are having a hard time allocating
space for them.  Is this pool almost 100% full?  There are lots of
instances of zio_write_allocate_gang_members(), which indicates a very
high degree of fragmentation in the pool.

Hi.

Command 'zpool export f3-2' is hung for 30 minutes now and still is going.
Nothing else is running on the server. I can see one CPU being 100% in SYS like:

Not really much is happening here - looks like CPU is the limiting factor.

To me it looks like there're many outstanding transaction in a memory which zfs 
tries to execute (put to disks) but just traversing over some kind of in-memory 
meta data consumes entire one CPU which is the limiting factor here and at the 
end it can't even saturate disks (well it's so sloooooow that it wouldn't 
saturate a floppy disk).

Why only one CPU? Why CPU is needed at all (at such quantities) to just flush 
caches?
