First of all, I tried creating a 200MB file on / (the only non-zfs partition):

Hi,

FYI,

I Just made the same tests, on a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #4: Thu Dec 3 19:00:06 CET 2009, 4GB RAM, zpool comprised of:

NAME     SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
tank    1.81T  1.57T   251G    86%  ONLINE  -

NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
tank        ONLINE       0     0     0
  mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
    ad10    ONLINE       0     0     0
    ad12    ONLINE       0     0     0

zpool upgrade
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 13.

I'm getting near-to-hardware performance on all tests, i.e. 94MB/s minimum. Tried with 200MB, 2000MB, 4000MB and 8000MB files repeatedly. All wonderful.

E.g.:

dd if=/tank/testfs/testfile.dat bs=1m of=/dev/null count=8000
8388608000 bytes transferred in 83.569786 secs (100378479 bytes/sec)

marx# dd if=/tank/testfs/testfile.dat bs=1m of=/dev/null count=8000
8388608000 bytes transferred in 78.234149 secs (107224378 bytes/sec)

Did repeated writing and reading. I have NO ZFS-related tunables at all in /boot/loader.conf. All left to self-tuning and defaults as advised since 8.0.

kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.memory_throttle_count: 0 at all times.

Regards,

Lorenzo
