Hi,

I posted earlier about some results with this same system using UFS2. Now trying to test ZFS. This is a Dell PE2950 with two Perc6 controllers and 4 md1000 disk shelves with 750GB drives. 16GB RAM, dual quad core Xeon. I recompiled our kernel to use the ULE scheduler instead of default.

I could not get through an entire run of iozone without a system reboot/crash. ZFS is clearly labeled experimental, of course.

It seems to die for sure around 10 processes, sometimes less (this is the end of my output from iozone):

 Children see throughput for 10 readers          =  135931.72 KB/sec
        Parent sees throughput for 10 readers           =  135927.24 KB/sec
Min throughput per process = 13351.26 KB/sec
        Max throughput per process                      =   14172.05 KB/sec
        Avg throughput per process                      =   13593.17 KB/sec
        Min xfer                                        = 31586816.00 KB


Some zpool info below - each volume below is a raid6 of 30PD on one controller. I may try different hardware volume configs for fun.

zpool create test mfid0 mfid2
# pool is automatically mounted at /test

#  pool: test
# state: ONLINE
# scrub: none requested
#config:
#
#       NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
#       test        ONLINE       0     0     0
#         mfid0     ONLINE       0     0     0
#         mfid2     ONLINE       0     0     0

#errors: No known data errors
