[zfs-discuss] NFS performance issue

2010-09-08 Thread Dr. Martin Mundschenk
Hi!

I searched the web for hours, trying to solve the NFS/ZFS low performance issue 
on my just setup OSOL box (snv134). The problem is discussed in many threads 
but I've found no solution. 

On a nfs shared volume, I get write performance of 3,5M/sec (!!) read 
performance is about 50M/sec which is ok but on a GBit network, more should be 
possible, since the servers disk performance reaches up to 120 M/sec.

Does anyone have a solution how I can at least speed up the writes?

What's the write workload like?  You could try disabling the ZIL to see
if that makes a difference.  If it does, the addition of an SSD-based
ZIL / slog device would most certainly help.

Maybe you could describe the makeup of your zpool as well?
