This might have been affected by the cache flush issue -- if the 3310 flushes its NVRAM cache to disk on SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands, then ZFS is penalizing itself. I don't know whether the 3310 firmware has been updated to support the SYNC_NV bit. It wasn't obvious on Sun's site where to

And some results (for OLTP workload): http://przemol.blogspot.com/2007/08/zfs-vs-vxfs-vs-ufs -on-scsi-array.html While I was initially hardly surprised that ZFS offered only 11% - 15% of the throughput of UFS or VxFS, a quick glance at Filebench's OLTP workload seems to indicate that it's

In addition to Brendan's advice about benchmarking, it would be a good idea to use the newer Solaris release (Solaris 10 08/07), which has a lot of ZFS improvements (performance and functional). This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

HI, The question is a ZFS performance question in reguards to SAN traffic. We are trying to benchmark ZFS vx VxFS file systems and I get the following performance results. Test Setup: Solaris 10: 11/06 Dual port Qlogic HBA with SFCSM (for ZFS) and DMP (of VxFS) Sun Fire v490 server LSI Raid

The 250KB below was confusing to one reader. What I mean is that over the interval of the file write, it transfers 250KB of traffic. man iostat and you can see that it is correct. 250KB per second is not the bandwidth. I also understand the 'mkfile' is not an acceptable perrformance
