For Output ops, ZFS could setup a 10MB I/O transfer to disk starting at sector X, or chunk that up in 128K while still assigning the samerangeof disk blocks forthe operations. Yes there will be more control information going around, a little more CPU consumed, but the disk w

It's easy to reproduce seconds long mkdir (and other ops also) with a side load of dd even to local ZFS. ZFS team have started investigating this: 6429205 each zpool needs to monitor it's throughput and throttle heavy writers which will help bound the time to such operation
