Patrick,

I would definitely upgrade your two nodes from 3.12.14 to 3.12.15. You also 
mention ZFS, and that error you show makes me think you need to check to be 
sure you have “xattr=sa” and “acltype=posixacl” set on your ZFS volumes.

You also observed your bricks are crossing the 95% full line, ZFS performance 
will degrade significantly the closer you get to full. In my experience, this 
starts somewhere between 10% and 5% free space remaining, so you’re in that 
realm. 

How’s your free memory on the servers doing? Do you have your zfs arc cache 
limited to something less than all the RAM? It shares pretty well, but I’ve 
encountered situations where other things won’t try and take ram back properly 
if they think it’s in use, so ZFS never gets the opportunity to give it up.

Since your volume is a disperse-replica, you might try tuning 
disperse.shd-max-threads, default is 1, I’d try it at 2, 4, or even more if the 
CPUs are beefy enough. And setting server.event-threads to 4 and 
client.event-threads to 8 has proven helpful in many cases. After you get 
upgraded to 3.12.15, enabling performance.stat-prefetch may help as well. I 
don’t know if it matters, but I’d also recommend resetting 
performance.least-prio-threads to the default of 1 (or try 2 or 4) and/or also 
setting performance.io <http://performance.io/>-thread-count to 32 if those 
have beefy CPUs.

Beyond those general ideas, more info about your hardware (CPU and RAM) and 
workload (VMs, direct storage for web servers or enders, etc) may net you some 
more ideas. Then you’re going to have to do more digging into brick logs 
looking for errors and/or warnings to see what’s going on.
