Hi Eff,
There are a significant number of variables to work through with dedup and
compression enabled. So the first suggestion I have is to disable those
features for now so your not working with too many elements.
With those features set aside an NTFS cluster operation does not = a 64k raw
Hi All,
I created a zvol with the following options on an X4500 with 16GB of ram:
zfs create -s -b 64K -V 250T tank/bkp
I then enabled dedup and compression and exported it to Windows Server 2008 as
iSCSI via COMSTAR. There it was formatted with a 64K cluster size which is the
NTFS default
Have you tried creating tank/bkp without the -s option. I believe I read
somewhere that the -s option can lead to poor performance on larger
volumes (which doesn't make sense to me). Also are you using a zil/log
device?
