Hi! I've noticed that ZFS on 8.1-STABLE still has problems with sendfile. When accessing a file at first time the transfer speed is too low, but on following attempts the transfer speed is normal.
How to repeat: $ dd if=/dev/random of=/tmp/test bs=1m count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes transferred in 5.933945 secs (17670807 bytes/sec) $ sudo env LC_ALL=C /usr/libexec/ftpd -D The first attempt to fetch file: $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test /dev/null 1% of 100 MB 118 kBps 14m07s^C fetch: transfer interrupted The transfer rate is too low (approx. 120 kBps), but any subsequent attempts are success: $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 42 MBps $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 47 MBps ... To repeat it is enough to copy a file and to try again: $ cp /tmp/test /tmp/test1 $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test1 /dev/null 2% of 100 MB 119 kBps 13m50s^C fetch: transfer interrupted $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test1 /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 41 MBps $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test1 /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 47 MBps ...and again: $ cp /tmp/test1 /tmp/test2 $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test2 /dev/null 1% of 100 MB 118 kBps 14m07s^C fetch: transfer interrupted $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test2 /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 41 MBps $ fetch -o /dev/null ftp://localhost/tmp/test2 /dev/null 100% of 100 MB 47 MBps I've tried ftpd and nginx with "sendfile on". The behavior is the same. After disabling using sendfile in nginx ("sendfile off") the problem has gone. -- Alexander Zagrebin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
