Thanks, I'll look into that. I do appreciate that ZFS tries to be more careful about sync writes than most filesystems. But I also have users who expect "tar xvf" to complete in a reasonable amount of time, and having the ZIL enabled reduces file creation performance by a factor of ten. ;) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
