First, i had only access to an 32 Bit Machine (P4/3GHz with 2GB RAM, 2xHD for RAID1 and 2xHD for ZFS Raid 0). While running iozone with the following call: iozone -R -a -z -b file.wks -g 4G -f testile (This is inspired by Dominic Kay from Sun, see http://blogs.sun.com/dom/entry/zfs_v_vxfs_iozone for details). the well known "kmem_malloc" error occured and stopped the system. (panic: kmem_malloc (131072): kmem_map too small: 398491648 total allocated cpuid=1) I tested several optimizations as suggested in the ZFS Tuning Guide and several postings on this list. The problem stayed mainly the same, it stopped with a "kmem_malloc" or rebooted without warning. This depends on the configuration, if i raised the vm.kmem_-sizes or only the KVA_PAGES or both. But it never ever made the benchmark. With more memory in vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max, the problem came later. But ok, the main target for the ZFS is to use amd64, not i386. Now i have access to an Intel Woodcrest-System, it's a Xeon 5160 with 4GB RAM and 1xHD. It has UFS for the System and Home and one ZFS only for data (for the iozone-Benchmark). It has a vanilla kernel, i haven't touched it. I've tested the default settings from Beta 3 and applied the tuning tips from the Tuning Guide. It shows the same behaviour as on the 32 Bit machine. One major difference: it makes always a reboot. There's no kmem_malloc error message (which made the system hang). The problem is the "-z" option in the iozone-Benchmark. Without it, the benchmark works (on the i386 and on the amd64-Machine). This option makes iozone testing small record sizes for large files. On an UFS-Filesystem, iozone works with the "-z" option. Though, it seems to me, that this is a problem with ZFS. Here are some more informations (from the amd64-System): 1.
