The issue we're seeing is rather terrible performance, especially during scrub, on this system. It has sufficient amounts of L2ARC (10x256GB) and SLOG (a 100GB mirror) (see attached zpool iostat -v - the mirror with c14t21d0 and c14t22d0 are the SLOG devs). It's still at oi_148, so perhaps just an upgrade to 151 might help? Or will I need to patch the system with later code?

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
