That explains the problems; however, I am able to get them to run by jumpering them down to SATA1 which brings me back to my original question. Is there a way to force sata 1 without cracking the drive case and voiding the warranty? I only have so many expansion slots, so an 8 port supermicro

[zfs-discuss] Unreasonably high sys utilization during file create operations.

2007-11-05 Thread Dave Pratt
While doing some testing of ZFS on systems which house the storage backend for a custom imap data store I have witnessed 90-100% sys utilization during moderately high file creation periods. I'm not sure if this is something inherent in the design of ZFS or if this can be tuned out. But the sys

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS very slow under xVM

I had a similar problem on a quad core amd box with 8 gig of ram... The performance was nice for a few minutes but then the system will crawl to a halt. The problem was that the areca SATA drivers can't do DMA when the dom0 memory wasn't at 3 gig or lower. On 04/11/2007, at 3:49 PM, Martin
