At the time of writing that post, no, I didn't run zpool iostat -v 1. However, I run it after that. Results for operations of iostat command has changed from 1 for every device in raidz to something in between 20 and 400 for raidz volume and from 3 to something in between 200 and 450 for a

A question: why do you want to use HW raid together with ZFS? I thought ZFS performing better if it was in total control? Would the results have been better if no HW raid controller, and only ZFS? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

At this point, ZFS is performing admirably with the Areca card. Also, that card is only 8-port, and the Areca controllers I have are 12-port. My chassis has 24 SATA bays, so being able to cover all the drives with 2 controllers is preferable. Also, the driver for the Areca controllers is
