The default blocksize for a zfs volume is 8k, so 4k writes will probably require a read as well. You can try creating a new volume with volblocksize set to 4k and see if that helps. The value can't be changed once set, so you'll have to make a new dataset. Make sure the "wcd" property is set to "false" for the volume in stmfadm in order to enable the write cache. It shouldn't make a huge difference with the zil disabled, but it certainly won't hurt. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
