Oh, one more thing. How are you measuring the speed? Because if you have data which is highly compressible, or highly duplicated, you could be virtually writing tons of data really really fast, but the disks would barely be active at all. For example, if you dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=1024 | pv | gzip | pv > zerofile.gz Then the data rate going through the first pv is 1000 times higher than the datarate going through the second pv. If I were only looking at the data rate after compression, then I might falsely reach the conclusion that I was having bad performance. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
