@Andrey, it is noted that ZFS I/O can slow down when ZFS volumes fill up, noticeably at around 80-85% full capacity writes can slow dramatically while free space is being found. Is this possibly the reason for the speed bottleneck? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

After a lot of tests on AWS with generic and AWS kernels and on non-AWS bare-metal systems with the AWS and generic kernels I discovered that one gets I/O throttling on AWS instances regardless of using ZFS or not. I ran a really simple test writing and reading to the raw device and found the *sam

It would be interesting in knowing the following data: 1. How much memory does the machine have when booted? run: free 2. What the arcstats look like when it goes slowly use: cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats thanks ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete --

I've been examining the zfs_arc_max setting to see if this can stabilize the I/O performance. You may like to try setting this as a proportion of your available memory to see if it improves things. For example, with a machine with 8GB of memory, I set this to 2GB and my test system went from being
