I have a much more generic question regarding this thread. I have a sun T5120 (T2 quad core, 1.4GHz) with two 10K RPM SAS drives in a mirrored pool running Solaris 10 u7. The disk performance seems horrible. I have the same apps running on a Sun X2100M2 (dual core 1.8GHz AMD) also running Solaris 10u7 and an old, really poor performing SATA drive (also with ZFS), and its disk performance seems at least 5x better.
I'm not offering much detail here, but I had been attributing this to what I've always observed--Solaris on x86 performs far better than on sparc for any app I've ever used. I guess the real question would be is ZFS ready for production in Solaris 10, or should I flar this bugger up and rebuild with UFS? This thread concerns me, and I really want to keep ZFS on this system for its many features. Sorry if this is off-topic, but you guys got me wondering. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
