To follow on the subject of VDEV caching, even if
only of metadata, in oi_148a, I have found the
disabling entry in /etc/system of the LiveUSB:

set zfs:zfs_vdev_cache_size=0


Now that I have the cache turned on and my scrub
continues, cache efficiency so far happens to be
75%. Not bad for a feature turned off by default:

# kstat -p zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:class misc
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:crtime 60.67302806
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:delegations 22619
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:hits 32989
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:misses 10676
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:snaptime 39898.161717983

And at this moment I can guess the caching effect
becomes incredible (at least for a feature disabled
and dismissed at useless/harmful) - if I read the
numbers correctly, a 99+% cache hit ratio with
just VDEV prereads:

# kstat -p zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:class    misc
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:crtime   60.67302806
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:delegations      23398
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:hits     1309308
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:misses   11592
zfs:0:vdev_cache_stats:snaptime 89207.679698161

True, the task (scrubbing) is metadata-intensive :)
Still, for the future, when beginning a scrub the
system might auto-tune or at least suggest to enable
the VDEV prefetch, perhaps with larger strokes)...

BTW, what does the "delegations" field mean? ;)
