As I have imported some more improvements to the ZFS v15 patch that also target speed, I am now calling for testing of v16 with mainly the following important (post-v16) enhancement (and some related bugfixes): OpenSolaris Bug ID: 6775100 stat() performance on files on zfs should be improved This significantly improves stat() performance of ZFS and has a very positive effect on e.g webservers using PHP (I benchmarked a ~20% speed increase of PHP webserving) The patch is available here: http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/v16/head-v16-extended.patch List of all changes (compared to current head and v15-patch): http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/v16/head-v16.txt And again some ISOs (patched 8.1rc1) for testing: http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/iso/8.1rc1-zfsv16.iso (without symbols, 98.7MB) http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/iso/8.1rc1-zfsv16-debug.iso (with kernel symbols, 187.6MB) Login/password: root/mfsroot You can test these ISO's in Virtualbox, other emulation software or real-world systems. They contain a full installable distribution, here is a zfsinstall command example on an ad4 disk, with ZFS version 16, 4GB extra swap partition, lzjb compression and fletcher4 checksum: 1. Login as root (root:mfsroot) 2. mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom 3. zfsinstall -V 16 -t /cdrom/8.1-RC1-amd64.tar.xz -s 4G -c -4 -d ad4 When mfsbsd (not the installed system) is booted, there is a python and py-zfs package in /packages. You can copy and install these to your installed system for full pyzfs functionality (zfs userspace, zfs groupspace, zfs allow, zfs unallow). Thanks for testing, mmReceived on Thu Jun 24 2010 - 18:04:48 UTC
