Sorry if I've missed this, but what tuning have you done for ZFS? Some of us (most of us?) have seen fairly "sluggish" performance when prefetch is enabled (the default), while the system is generally more responsive when prefetch is disabled. This may have nothing to do with the problem you've stated, but I thought I'd throw it out there. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
