40MB/sec is the best that it gets. Really, the average is 5. I see 4, 5, 2, and 6 almost 10x as many times as I see 40MB/sec. It really only bumps up to 40 very rarely.
As far as random vs. sequential. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I used dd to make files from /dev/zero, wouldn't that be sequential? I measure with zpool iostat 2 in another ssh session while making files of various sizes. This is a test system. I'm wondering, now, if I should just reconfigure with maybe 7 disks and add another spare. Seems to be the general consensus that bigger raid pools = worse performance. I thought the opposite was true... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
