Hi Lindsay,

Could you post me the following results by private email (outputs of these 
commands)?


zpool status -v

zpool get all

zfs list

zfs get all (needed 2 times for the system and data)

arcstat.py


Questions:


did you turn on dedup on your pools?

do you use any non-default zfs/zpool settings?

how is your cpu load on normal and stressed (problematic) situation?

is it true, the situation depends on uptime? For example usually the situation 
happens after 2 weeks?

Or can you see any pattern when the bad situation happens?


Hints without too much explanations:


you can monitor your pool activity by the following command: zpool iostat -v 1 
(a screenshot would be nice)

do not turn on dedup. if you turned on -> recreate your pool from backup 
without dedup enabled

the default memory usage of zfs is 50% of the physical RAM. Due to the 
interaction between the linux memory management and spl, the total used memory 
could be the double of the ARC size. In other words: plan your memory 
allocation: MEMORY_OF_ALLVM + 2 * ARC size

probably it is much better to turn off swap, as the swap is on zfs:


any problem on zfs will bring your computer down -> like performance

if your system start to use swap, your system is underplanned (as I can see, 
this is not the case)



try to find a pattern of your performance issue


Best regards,

István
