Dear Brian ,
Please note, that zvol under freebsd does not accept sync calls from userspace, which would trigger a slog write. So you should use the kernel based iscsi target , ctl, and not the one implemented in userspace (istgt).

We are running RELEASE patch7, which is a production system. That said, STABLE becomes a non-option with management. I should check into 10.1-RELEASE and whether or not that will address what you say is available in STABLE.
What changes/differences between STABLE and 10.0-RELEASE-p7 with regards to write performance are we talking about? Are these also relative to write throttling improvements/tuning?

dtrace is available on FreeBSD yes.
If your on FreeBSD 10 make sure you're running stable/10 and not 10.0-RELEASE as there are many improvements there.

Are these dtrace tools available to FreeBSD? I'm trying to solve/improve some throughput performance on zvol across iscsi. I have
observed that the log device isn't in use at all across iscsi... very sad indeed.
Anyone have some other tuning and settings for a high-ram freebsd system? We're running both fbsd9 and fbsd10. I'm trying to tune
for random write performance.
Thanks for this article. It's a good read.

For those interested FreeBSD has one extension to this in that
it also min_active and max_active for TRIM specifically:
vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_min_active: 1
vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_max_active: 64
The size of trim_max_active may seem high compared to the
others but this is due to the fact that up to 64 individual
TRIM requests can be combined at the CAM layer into a single
device request, hence the threshold at which it starts to
impact latency is higher than that for reads and writes.
Regards
Steve

Hey folks,
I finished up a long-overdue post on tuning the OpenZFS write
throttle. I hope this is a useful guide for those of you optimizing
OpenZFS-based systems.
