Hi Pete, zfs-stats has last been modified by me to make it work with the sysctl names changed by OpenZFS. (But I might have missed a few ...) Could you check the values of the following sysctl variables: vfs.zfs.vdev.cache_size vfs.zfs.vdev.cache_bshift vfs.zfs.vdev.cache_max kstat.zfs.misc.vdev_cache_stats.misses kstat.zfs.misc.vdev_cache_stats.hits kstat.zfs.misc.vdev_cache_stats.delegations On my system, vfs.zfs.vdev.cache_size is always 0 - and that results in the message "VDEV cache is disabled" that you got, too. And I'd guess that the kstat variables will all report 0, too (not surprising if the size is 0). A quick web search reveals: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Performance%20and%20Tuning/Module%20Parameters.html#zfs-vdev-cache-size Quote: Note: with the current ZFS code, the vdev cache is not helpful and in some cases actually harmful. Thus it is disabled by setting the zfs_vdev_cache_size = 0 You may want to try setting "vfs.zfs.vdev.cache_size" (name changed, it used to be cache.size instead of cache_size) in /boot/loader.conf and perform a few performance tests. (I have not verified that the current implementation actually uses and supports a value specified that way, though.) Regards, STefan
