Elaine,

Very bizarre problem you're having. I have no problems on either of my x4500s. One on 10u6 and one on indiana snv_101b_rc2.

Time on Sol 10u6:
- Just running hd
real    0m25.599s
user    0m0.021s
sys     0m2.376s

Time on OS snv_101b_rc2
- Just running hd
real    0m27.565s
user    0m0.050s
sys     0m1.184s

Only running indiana for the up to date cifs server which does ACLs properly. I haven't done anything but install hd, I did nothing to 'make them work'.

Regards,

I've got a fresh install of 101a on a thumper with 48 disks and zfs with one large 46 drive raidz2 pool. It has no load at the moment. My problem is that the SUNWhd tools are excrutiatingly slow, by excrutiating I mean that the command : "/opt/SUNWhd/hd/bin/hdadm write_cache display all" takes three hours to iterate over the 48 drives which, I suspect, is not the expected time for such a command to take.

I've hunted around and, while I've seen a few pointers to certain thumpers in a SN range having performance issues, this thumper is not in that range, nor is it running 10u5 or u6.

I've come up empty for an explanation so I thought I'd ask here since I know there are some issues with zfs and caching, e.g. the ARC cache, but I'm unclear as to which are currently solved in 101a and which aren't. It could be a simple configuration issue, but I'm unfamiliar with the hardware and would welcome any suggestions or pointers.
