Welcome to Bruno Bonfils's (aka asyd homepage).

I'm back with a new ZFS benchmark. This time, I have two disks dedicated to my test.

Vendor	IBMAS400
Product	0662SW1
Revision	101B
Size	1G

I know, these disks are small and old, but anyway, it's not a performance test but a comparison beetween ZFS, UFS, and SVM. I have more interest in perf of ZFS versus SVM+UFS in mirror mode. Like my previous bench, I used bonnie++ (built with gcc) in a x86 (AMD 1200MHz) running Solaris Express build 27.

As you can see below, I let bonnie++ use just a little less than 80% of available space disk (768M for ~980M). Since I ran 5 bonnie++ tests each time, data was rewrite.

Each value in graph is average of 5 tests

# /opt/bonnie++/sbin/bonnie++ -s 768 -x 5 ...
