Yes, I've seen lot's of information about ZFS tunables on FreeBSD which will give me plenty of reading.
I set zfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0 because some dmesg line suggested/implied it would benefit. I don't recall the exact output now. So, I think it's probably best I just leave things as they are as my system is functioning well enough, as far as I can tell anyway. This is the first time I've used ZFS on FreeBSD so I am still very much in the 'learning process' where that is concerned. Thanks for your response Volodymyr. Very much appreciated. Best wishes, Jamie. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
