So the patch fi= xes > reads, but not writes. cc'ing to notify in case he has more ideas. Can you show exact command and describe some details about setup for the case where you still do not observe the counter in top ? (With my patch applied). There are two mixed things in the thread: First, there is (was) a missed accounting for i/o to physical devices, and the patch I posted should fix it. Second, it is relatively well-known that ZFS does not properly accounts i/o. Might be, the patch by Andrew fixes it, I do not know. --HZB8oDZC1yZFS5kn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzu5ucACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jLHACgv+GHlE1qRLBa4UhMeqlI0FaU 0ewAnAvVERwWC32nqlCyo6Dfy5M8NF0W =/F2G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HZB8oDZC1yZFS5kn--
