Subject: [zfs-discuss] Wired write performance problem

Hi,

I got a wired write performance and need your help.

One day, the write performance of zfs degrade.
The write performance decrease from 60MB/s to about 6MB/s in sequence write.

Command:
date;dd if=/dev/zero of=block bs=1024*128 count=10000;date

The hardware configuration is 1 Dell MD3000 and 1 MD1000 with 30 disks.
The OS is Solaris 10U8, zpool version 15 and zfs version 4.

I run Dtrace to trace the write performance:

fbt:zfs:zfs_write:entry
{
         self->ts = timestamp;
}


fbt:zfs:zfs_write:return
/self->ts/
{
         @time = quantize(timestamp-self->ts);
         self->ts = 0;
}

It shows

Compare to a working well storage(1 MD3000), the max write time of zfs_write is 
4294967296, it is about 10 times faster.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ding
