    So I have a few systems that are built out of cheap hardware. I am looking to try and get as much performance out of them as I can. Right now I am getting around 100mb/s write and 25mb/s read. Each system has different SSDs but fdisk shows 512 byte sector size for all. Disk /dev/sda: 465.76...

    ZFS -> ZFS volume migration seemingly doing 1k writes?

    Hi, I'm migrating some large LXC containers from one ZFS array to another and I'm noticing some odd behavior. It seems that for some reason, whatever system that handles LXC migrations is writing the data in 1k chunks... I mean, credit to ZFS for managing nearly 140k 1kB IOPS on spinning rust...

    ZFS reporting drastically different numbers

    My initial research is pointing at padding overhead (and it is possible thin provisioning didn't get enabled at creation), but this also seems wildly off compared to other examples. The drive called "zfs" is a made up of six 1.96TB SSD drives in a RAIDZ. When I go to the summary for the zfs...
