For this test there is no log device or cache. Connected to it is a RedHat box using iSCSI through an Intel X520 10GbE NIC. It runs several large MySQL queries at once- each taking minutes to compute. Pool_test is a stripe of 2TB SATA drives and a terrabyte of files is being copied to it for another box during this test. Here's the pastebin of "iostat -xdn 10" on the Linux box: http://pastebin.com/431ESYaz Here's the pastebin of "iostat -xdn 10" on the Nexenta box: http://pastebin.com/9g7KD3Ku Here's the pastebin "zpool iostat -v 10" on the Nexenta box: http://pastebin.com/05fJL5sw >From these numbers it looks like the Linux box is waiting for data all the >time while the Nexenta box isn't pulling nearly as much throughput and IOPS as >it could. Where is the bottleneck? One thing suspicious is that we notice a slow down of one pool when the other is under load. How can that be?
