This will almost certainly be due to slow TRIM support on the device.

Try setting the sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init to 0 before adding the devices.

Hi,

I've installed an Intel 750 400GB NVMe PCIe SSD in a Dell R320 running FreeBSD 10.2-beta-1... not STABLE, but not far behind, I think. Apologies if this is the wrong mailing list, or if this has been fixed in STABLE since the beta.

Anyway, I've gparted it into 2 partitions - 16GB for slog/zil and 357GB for l2arc. Adding the slog partition to the pool takes about 2 minutes - machine seems hung during that time. Ping works, but I can't open another ssh session.

Adding the l2arc doesn't seem to complete - it's been going 10 minutes now and nothing. Ping works, but I can't log in to the local console or another ssh session.

I'm adding the partitions using their gpt names. i.e.
zpool add zroot log gpt/slog
zpool add zroot cache gpt/l2arc

The system BIOS is up-to-date. The OS was a fresh 10.1 install, then freebsd-update to 10.2-beta2. 10.1 exhibited the same symptoms.

Root is on zfs.

Device was tested to be working on Windows 8.1 on a Dell T1700 workstation.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dylan Just
