We are running Solaris 10 11/06 on a Sun V240 with 2 CPUS and 8 GB of memory. This V240 is attached to a 3510 FC that has 12 x 300 GB disks. The 3510 is configured as HW RAID 5 with 10 disks and 2 spares and it's exported to the V240 as a single LUN.
We create iso images of our product in the following way (high-level): # mkfile 3g /isoimages/myiso # lofiadm -a /isoimages/myiso /dev/lofi/1 # newfs /dev/rlofi/1 # mount /dev/lofi/1 /mnt # cd /mnt; zcat /product/myproduct.tar.Z | tar xf - and we finally use mkisofs to create the iso image. UFS performance ---------------------- We created a UFS file system on the above LUN and the above iso creation process takes about 5 mins. (I don't have the exact numbers) ZFS performance --------------------- When we create a ZFS file system on the above LUN and create the iso it takes forever it seems to be hanging in the tar extraction (we killed this after a while i.e. > few hours). My questions are: * are we doing something wrong * is this a known issue * what are the configuration recommendation for a 3510 FC for ZFS Thanks in advance, -- prasad This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
