sorry, that 60% statement was misleading... i will VERY OCCASIONALLY get a spike to 60%, but i'm averaging more like 15%, with the throughput often dropping to zero for several seconds at a time. that iperf test more or less demonstrates it isn't a network problem, no? also i have been using

What is less clear is why windows write performance drops to zero. Perhaps the tweak for Nagel's Algorithm in Windows would be in order? http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/entry/x4500_solaris_zfs_iscsi_perfect -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

hi all, currently having trouble with sustained write performance with my setup... ms server 2003/ms iscsi initiator 2.08 w/intel e1000g nic directly connected to snv_101 w/ intel e1000g nic. basically, given enough time, the sustained write behavior is perfectly periodic. if i copy a large

(with iostat -xtc 1) it sure would be nice to know if actv 0 so we would know if the lun was busy because its queue is full or just slow (svc_t 200) for tracking errors try `iostat -xcen 1` and `iostat -E` Rob ___

compression is off across the board. svc_t is only maxed during the periods of heavy write activity (2-3 seconds every 10 or so seconds)... otherwise disks are basically idling. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

my apologies... 11s, 12s, and 13s represent the number of seconds in a read/write period, not disks. so, 11 seconds into a period, %b suddenly jumps to 100 after having been 0 for the first 10. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___
