Thanks for the explanation folks.
So if I cannot get Apache/Webdav to write synchronously, (and it does
not look like I can), then is it possible to tune the ARC to be more
write-buffered heavy?
My biggest problem is with very quick spikes in writes periodically
throughout the day. If I

More than that :)
It's very very short duration, but we have the potential for 10's of
thousands of clients doing writes all at the same time. I have the farm
spread out over 16 servers, each with 2x 4GB fiber cards into big disk
arrays, but my reads do get slow (resulting in end user

ZFS already batches up writes into a transaction group, which currently
happens every 30 seconds. Have you
Yes, we are currently running ZFS, just without L2 ARC, or offloaded ZIL.

Hi folks,
I would appreciate it if someone can help me understand some weird
results I'm seeing with trying to do performance testing with an SSD
offloaded ZIL.
I'm attempting to improve my infrastructure's burstable write capacity
(ZFS based WebDav servers), and naturally I'm looking at
Patrick,
The ZIL is only used for synchronous requests like O_DSYNC/O_SYNC and
fsync(). Your iozone command must be doing some synchronous writes.
All the other tests (dd, cat, cp, ...) do everything asynchronously.
That is they do not require the data to be on stable storage on
return from the
