index | next in thread | raw e-mail
Hello, like described in another thread, we recently updated a fileserver from 8.2-STABLE@2011-05-08 to 8.2-STABLE@2011-09-08 (amd64 both). ZPool is left at v14, the filesystems at version 3. Nothing in /boot/loader.conf or /etc/sysctl.conf has been changed. We now realize that r/w behaviour has changed on the whole pool. The l2arc devices (2 SSDs) have decreased in writes from average 10M/sec (peaks at 20 M/sec) to <5M/sec. On the other hand, reads on the disks (2x5 disks raidz2) have increased (nearly doubled on each disk). I suspect, that the cache is somewhat faulty or has become slow, and so ZFS decides to read data from main storage instead of the cache. Is there another explaination? Are there some defaults of sysctls which have been changed from May to September? with kind regards, Robert Schulzehome | help
