Re: [zfs-discuss] Preparing to compare Solaris/ZFS and FreeBSD/ZFS performance.

I have just (re)installed FreeBSD amd64 current with gcc 4.2 with src from May. 21'st on a dual Dell PE 2850. Does the post-gcc-4-2 current include all your zfs-optimizations? I have commented out INVARIANTS, INVARIANTS_SUPPORT, WITNESS and WITNESS_SKIPSPIN in my kernel and recompiled with

Won't disabling ZIL minimize the chance of a consistent zfs- filesystem if - for some reason - the server did an unplanned reboot? ZIL in ZFS is only used to speed-up various workloads, it has nothing to do with file system consistency. ZFS is always consistent on disk no matter if you

Don't take this numbers too seriously - those were only first tries to see where my port is and I was using OpenSolaris for comparsion, which has debugging turned on. Yeah, ZFS does a lot of extra work with debugging on (such as verifying checksums in the ARC), so always do serious
