[zfs-discuss] Bad SWAP performance from zvol

2009-03-31 Thread Casper . Dik
I've upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It's a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into 26B. So

[zfs-discuss] Permission problems with nfs-mounted zfs user directories

2009-03-31 Thread Pacey, Mike
I'm currently setting up user directories on a zfs filesystem (Solaris 10) which I then nfs mount on an OpenSUSE 9.3 system. I have a zpool called zpool1. First, I set up a home zfs volume: zfs create zpool1/la_home_hpc_users zfs sharenfs=on zpool1/la_home_hpc_users Then I create a user

Posting this back to zfs-discuss. Roland's test case (below) is a single threaded sequential write followed by a single threaded sequential read. His bandwidth goes from horrible (~2MB/sec) to expected (~30MB/sec) when prefetch is disabled. This is with relatively recent nv bits (nv110).

Hello Matthew, Excellent news. Wouldn't it be better if logical disk usage would be accounted and not physical - I mean when compression is enabled should quota be accounted based by a logical file size or physical as in du? I'm not saying which one is better just raising the question. --
