I've setup a 2 node cluster using HAST.  I'd previously had this running =
9.0 and then rebuilt the nodes using 9.1.  Under 9.0 I used =
vfs.zfs.vdev.bio_flush_disable=3D1 but that setting does not appear to =
work in 9.1.  The other difference, previous build had root disk on UFS, =
while this build has only ZFS based file systems.

I tried setting zfs set zfs:zfs_nocacheflush=3D1 <pool> but that diddn't =
appear to work either.  I get a lot of lines in my log file because of =
this.  I have also tried  zfs set sync=3Ddisabled <pool> but HAST still =
outputs those lines in the log file.

Any suggestions?


Thank you,
Chad
