Subject:   ZFS threads?
Message-ID:  <hb77gc$es0$1@ger.gmane.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
A VM running 8.0-RC1 with ZFS has load average of 18 while doing rsync 
to it.

I notice there are two sets of 8 ZFS kernel threads present on the 
system, which look like might be the cause of the high load. Is there a 
way to reduce the number of these worker threads?
