Interesting, I repeated the test on a few other machines running newer builds. First impressions are good:
snv_114, virtual machine, 1GB RAM, 30GB disk - 16% slowdown. (Only 9GB free so I ran an 8GB test) Doing initial (unmount/mount) 'cpio -o > /dev/null' 16000083 blocks real 3m4.85s user 0m16.74s sys 0m41.69s Doing second 'cpio -o > /dev/null' 16000083 blocks real 3m34.58s user 0m18.85s sys 0m45.40s And again on snv_117, Sun x2200, 40GB RAM, single 500GB sata disk: First run (with the default 24GB set): real 6m25.15s user 0m11.93s sys 0m54.93s Doing second 'cpio -o > /dev/null' 48000247 blocks real 1m9.97s user 0m12.17s sys 0m57.80s ... d'oh! At least I know the ARC is working :-) The second run, with a 98GB test is running now, I'll post the results in the morning. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
