Hello list,

I have a system with 2x 1.8 GHz AMD CPUs, 4G of ECC RAM, 7T RAID-Z pool
on Areca controller with about 400 file systems on OpenSolaris snv_101.

The problem is that it takes VERY long to take or delete snapshot and
sync incremental snapshots to backup system.


System load is quite low I'd say, CPU is 98% idle:
load average: 0.09, 0.13, 0.26

IOPs are low as well:
               capacity     operations    bandwidth
pool         used  avail   read  write   read  write

What can be wrong that ZFS operations like create file system,
take/destroy snapshot, (not saying snapshot listing which takes ages)
takes minutes to complete.

Is there something I can look at which would help to determine where is
a bottleneck or what is wrong etc?


Thanks in advance for any advice,
Mike
