Ok... so we've rebuilt the pool as 14 pairs of mirrors, each pair having one disk in each of the two JBODs. Now we're getting about 500-1000 IOPS (according to zpool iostat) and 20-30MB/sec in random read on a big database. Does that sounds right? At first, it seems low. Can you try to bench mark that with bonnie++ or iozone? You should be getting tenfold of that performance even for database usage Vennlige hilsener / Best regards roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (+47) 97542685 r...@karlsbakk.net http://blogg.karlsbakk.net/ -- I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt.
