Hi, I did another test on both machine. And write performance on ZFS extraordinary slow. I did the following test on both machines For write time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dbf bs=8k count=1048576 For read time dd if=/testpool/test.dbf of=/dev/null bs=8k
ZFS machine has 32GB memory UFS machine has 16GB memory #### UFS machine test ########### time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dbf bs=8k count=1048576 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out real 2m18.352s user 0m5.080s sys 1m44.388s #iostat -xnmpz 10 r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 0.6 107.9 4.8 62668.4 0.0 6.7 0.1 61.9 1 83 c0t0d0 0.0 0.2 0.0 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.8 0 0 c0t0d0s5 0.6 107.7 4.8 62668.2 0.0 6.7 0.1 62.0 1 83 c0t0d0s7 -------------------------------------------- For read # time dd if=test.dbf of=/dev/null bs=8k 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out real 1m21.285s user 0m4.701s sys 1m15.322s For write it took 2.18 minutes and for read it took 1.21 minutes. ############## ZFS machine test ################## # time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dbf bs=8k count=1048576 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out real 140m33.590s user 0m5.182s sys 2m33.025s extended device statistics r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 0.0 8.2 0.0 1037.0 0.0 33.3 0.0 4062.3 0 100 c0t0d0 0.08.2 0.0 1037.0 0.0 33.3 0.0 4062.3 0 100 c0t0d0s0 ------------------------------------------------- For read #time dd if=test.dbf of=/dev/null bs=8k 1048576+0 records in 1048576+0 records out real 0m59.177s user 0m4.471s sys 0m54.723s For write it took 140 minutes and for read 59 seconds(less then UFS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In ZFS data was being write around 1037 kw/s while disk remain busy 100%.
