Hello

Just a follow up on my email yesterday about ZFS issues on a 13-current sna=
pshot.

I have now scrapped the 13 system, reinstalled 12.2 on a new pool, and copi=
ed the same ~400GB of data to it.
This is the outcome -

1) I no longer see phantom data in snapshots that have been sent to the poo=
l. Every snapshot lists 0 usage. "zfs diff" is also much happier and runs i=
n seconds on any dataset.

2) I can scrub the entire pool in 30 minutes with the disks pushing 150MBps=
+ pretty much the entire time. I eventually cancelled the scrub on 13; It s=
tayed at 19% for about 4 hours, then made some progress to about 65%, befor=
e sitting there for another 6 hours. I gave up in the end and stopped it.

3) Additional minor thing unrelated to ZFS or storage, but I noticed that '=
systat -ifstat 1' was showing 23MB/s throughput which let me to believe I m=
ust have been running at a gigabit and just getting slow throughput for oth=
er reasons. I probably should have looked into this more considering the se=
nder showed 11MB/s. On 12.2, I see 11MB/s on both ends, making it very clea=
r it was definitely capping at 100Mbps. I eventually tracked down a 100Mbps=
 link - obviously not a FreeBSD issue, but it seems systat was reporting do=
uble on 13.

Maybe some of these are due to it being a current dev snapshot and having v=
arious debug features active, but I think I will be seeing the general resp=
onse when 13 comes out before I go anywhere near it...

Matt Churchyard
