[zfs-discuss] Slow zfs import solved (beware iDRAC/ILO)

Just a note to pass on in case anyone runs into the same situation. I have a DELL R510 that is running just fine, up until the day that I needed to import a pool from a USB hard drive. I plug in the disk, check it with rmformat and try to import the zpool. And it sits there for practically

Earlier you said you had eliminated the ZIL as an issue, but one difference between the Dell H800 and the LSI HBA is that the H800 has an NV cache (if you have the battery backup present). A very simple test would be when things are running slow, try disabling the ZIL temporarily, to see
