[-- Attachment #1 --] Perhaps if you log r/w queue length for all 4 drives with a reasonable interval (say 1 second) under the load using gstat(8) and plot all 4 as function of time on the same graph you should have no problem to visually identify the culprit(s). At least that's how I would do it. -Maksym On Sun, Nov 27, 2022, 7:15 AM FreeBSD User <freebsd@walstatt-de.de> wrote: > Hello, > > well, the aim of my post sounds strange, but I'm serious. > Background: I run at home a 14-CURRENT based server with a ZFS volume > (RAIDZ) comprised from > 4x 4 TB HDD.
