Good afternoon SmartOS community,

I’m trying to find out if illumos bugs 6569 and 7504 affecting ZFS from 
illumos-gate have been included in illumos-joyent. I couldn’t find an easy way 
to search for this specific context. If you can point me to the right docs I 
would appreciate it. The changelog on Manta is not easily searchable.

7504 appears to be affecting SmartOS ZFS after I did an OS change from OmniOS 
to the latest SmartOS build 20180315T080815Z on one of our customers NFS 
appliances and it is affecting them badly today.

I’m concerned about 6569 because of another migration that is on our schedule 
for a different customer who uses VMware on ZFS/NFS.

I built ZFS from source for OmniOS to resolve these bugs around 6 months ago 
and I’m wondering if I would need to rebuild ZFS on SmartOS or if I could drop 
my ZFS module into the platform directory on the USB key and reboot.

I am aware that NFS/ZFS appliances aren’t the core focus of SmartOS but it 
seemed to work great in my testing and usage in our datacenter so I made the 
decision to only use SmartOS across the board in remote customer environments 
rather than to work with multiple illumos distros. Primarily since we run 
Triton and vanilla SmartOS hosts in our datacenter environment today.

Basically what is happening with 7504 is that when copying large files from one 
directory to another over NFS, ZFS seems to block all of the IO on the system 
and brings their network to a crawl.

The server has 512GB of RAM a 512GB nvme SLOG and a 512GB NVME read cache in 
addition 2 4 8 core AMD sockets. (No Zones or VM’s running).

There are 60 spinners divided by 20 raidz stripes.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Also if I need to switch back to a different 
distro that advice is also appreciated. I would really just like to use SmartOS 
if possible.

Have a great day!
