CauseStorage Pools with a Capacity approaching full usage. When a pool is close to full, the ZFS algorithm to look for space differs because it has to deal with any free (and small) blocks to retrieve some space. When ZFS experiences pool fragmentation, higher IO and CPU consumption will occur as well during the search for suitable blocks for write operations.
> ::stacks -c space_map_load_wait SolutionAdministrators running into this type of performance problem with Arrays running Storage pools that are almost full, are advised to immediately seek to reduce their zpool utilization by removing older unwanted data including snapshots or to increase the size of their pools by adding further disk trays. There are improvements in later Appliance code versions in the way ZFS looks for space when the pool becomes highly used. Check the current level of Array Appliance firmware running and upgrade to the latest Code: For latest appliance software revisions see https://wikis.oracle.com/display/FishWorks/Software+Updates There are improvements in the later Appliance versions in the way ZFS handles internal spacemap load and zio_wait algorithm's to improve performance when pool space usage is closer to 100%.
