[zfs-discuss] Re: ZFS goes catatonic when drives go dead?

2006-11-22 Thread Peter Eriksson
There is nothing in the ZFS FAQ about this. I also fail to see how FMA could make any difference since it seems that ZFS is deadlocking somewhere in the kernel when this happens... It works if you wrap all the physical devices inside SVM metadevices and use those for your ZFS/zpool instead.

Re: [zfs-discuss] poor NFS/ZFS performance

2006-11-22 Thread Roch - PAE
To accelerate NFS (in particular single threaded loads) you need (somewhat badly) some *RAM between the Server FS and it's storage; that *RAM is where NFS commited data may be stored. If the *RAM does not survive a server reboot, the client is at risk of seeing corruption. For example, UFS

Yes, I've tried NFS and CIFS. I wouldn't call this a problem though. This is the way it was designed to work to prevent loss of client data. If you want faster performance put a battery-backed RAID card in your system and turn on write-back caching on the card so that the RAM in the RAID

Have a gander below : Agreed - it sucks - especially for small file use. Here's a 5,000 ft view of the performance while unzipping and extracting a tar archive. First the test is run on a SPARC 280R running Build 51a with dual 900MHz USIII CPUs and 4Gb of RAM: $ cp emacs-21.4a.tar.gz
