Hi, I have just setup an ISCSI volume on ZFS to use with OS X as a backup disk but performance is extremely bad. I am using the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator.
Without getting into too much detail does anyone know whether there is a reason why an iSCSI device seems to perform so badly ? I have configured the iSCSI device as a Time Machine drive the backup is very very slow. I have also seen a number of postings about the ZIL being the problem and needing to put in a fast SSD drive to address this. If anyone has a good explanation of what this problem is and how to fix it please let me know. I am using a small PC with 4 x1TB SATA drives as a file server running OpenSolaris 2009.06.
