Hi everybody, many people, like myself, tested the performance of the ZFS filesystem by doing a "tar xf something.tar". Unfortunately, ZFS doesn't handle this workload pretty well as all writes are being executed sequentially. So some people requested a multi-threaded tar...
Well, here it comes: I have written a small patch that intercepts the write system calls an friends an passes them off to worker threads. I'd really like to see some performance metrics with this patch on a ZFS filesystem. Unfortunately, I am currently far from home, where I have such a system. I'd be pleased if you anybody could send me some results. Feedback and RFEs are also welcome.
