That explains the timeouts you're seeing. As I stated in a previous note UFS has extremely poor performance when it comes to large files. Is it possible for you to use ZFS instead of UFS/SVM? If not, what about SVM soft partitions, this would remove some of the flexibility of having the backing store on a filesystem, and allow the daemon to access the block devices without UFS.

To clarify (sorry Rick, missed it)...

I'm using Sun Volume Manager (aka disksuite) to mirror to SATA 250GB drives. My iSCSI targets are on 'd3':

d3: Mirror
    Submirror 0: d13
      State: Okay
    Submirror 1: d23
      State: Okay
    Pass: 1
    Read option: roundrobin (default)
    Write option: parallel (default)
    Size: 444598875 blocks (212 GB)

d13: Submirror of d3
    State: Okay
    Size: 444598875 blocks (212 GB)
    Stripe 0:
        Device   Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare
        c1d0s3          0     No            Okay   Yes


d23: Submirror of d3
    State: Okay
    Size: 444598875 blocks (212 GB)
    Stripe 0:
        Device   Start Block  Dbase        State Reloc Hot Spare
        c2d0s3          0     No            Okay   Yes


Device Relocation Information:
Device   Reloc  Device ID
c1d0   Yes      id1,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
c2d0   Yes      id1,[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a regular UFS filesystem w/logging.
