Happy $holidays,

I have a pool of 8x ST31000340AS on an LSI 8-port adapter as
a raidz3 (no compression nor dedup) with reasonable bonnie++ 
1.03 values, e.g.  145 MByte/s Seq-Write @ 48% CPU and 291 MByte/s 
Seq-Read @ 53% CPU. It scrubs with 230+ MByte/s with reasonable
system load. No hybrid pools yet. This is latest beta napp-it 
on OpenIndiana 151a5 server, living on a dedicated 64 GByte SSD.

The system is a MSI E350DM-E33 with 8 GByte PC1333 DDR3
memory, no ECC. All the systems have Intel NICs with mtu 9000
enabled, including all switches in the path.

My problem is pretty poor network throughput. An NFS
mount on 12.04 64 bit Ubuntu (mtu 9000) or CIFS are
read at about 23 MBytes/s. Windows 7 64 bit (also jumbo
frames) reads at about 65 MBytes/s. The highest transfer
speed on Windows just touches 90 MByte/s, before falling
back to the usual 60-70 MBytes/s.

I kinda can live with above values, but I have a feeling
the setup should be able to saturate GBit Ethernet with
large file transfers, especially on Linux (20 MByte/s
is nothing to write home about).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug/optimize
throughput?

Thanks, and happy 2013.

P.S. Not sure whether this is pathological, but the system
does produce occasional soft errors like e.g. dmesg
