Hello Duff Thanks for emailing me the source & binary for your test app.
My PC for testing has snv_60 installed. I was about to upgrade to snv_70, but I thought it might be useful to test with the older version of OpenSolaris first, in case the problem you are seeing is a regression. And for the first test, I connected up a Samsung 400Gb sata-2 drive to a pci-e x1 card which uses the Silicon Image SiI-3132 chip. This uses the OpenSolaris 'si3124' driver. So my ZFS pool is using a single drive. Ok, I ran your test app, using the parameters you advised, with the addition of '-c' to validate with a read, the data created. And the first run of the test has completed with no problems. So no crash with this setup. # ./gbFileCreate -c -r /mytank -d 1000 -f 1000 -s 60000:60000 CREATING DIRECTORIES AND FILES: In folder "/mytank/greenbytes.1459", creating 1000 directories each containing 1000 files. Files range in size from 60000 bytes to 60000 bytes. CHECKING FILE DATA: Files Passed = 1000000, Files Failed = 0. Test complete. For the next test, I am going to swap the Samsung drive over onto the motherboard Intel ICH7 sata chip, so then it will be using the 'ahci' driver. But it's late now, so hopefully I will have the time to do that tomorrow. I have had a look at the source code history for the 'sd' driver, and I see that there have been quite alot of changes recently. So if there is a problem with that, then maybe I will not experience the problem until I upgrade to snv70 or latter.
