One perhaps important note!! 

When this happens... almost all processes appear in top in the following
state: 

txg state or 

txg-> 

bio.... 

perhaps should the the vfs.zfs.dirty_data_max, vfs.zfs.txg.timeout,
vfs.zfs.vdev.async_write_active_max_dirty_percent be increased,
decreased.... I'm afraid of doing some chage ana finally ending up with
an inestable server.... I'm not an expert in handling these values.... 

Any recommendation?. 

Best regards,

<p>Hi Rainer!</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help :) :)</p>

<p>We knew they had some speed issues, but those speed issues, we thought (=
as Samsung explains in the QVO site) they started after exceeding the speed=

 capacity (the capacity of the speeding buffer) no speed problem arises. Pe=
