Hi,

Along the lines on Niki's question, could someone explain the difference
between the following zfs commands in terms of performance:

zpool create -m /export fooz raidz da0 da1 da2 da3 da4 mkdir
/export/home

vs.

zpool create fooz raidz da0 da1 da2 da3 da4 zfs create fooz/home

(or in Niki's example):

zfs create -b 128k fooz/home

I think I'm in the same boat as Niki, seeing some performance issues
with my setup...

Greg.
