    One thing strange. I changed my disc size from GPT back to MBR Disk with Dynamic. Then the data was send to the SAN at a much faster rate. Not sure why....hmmm.. If I use 64K for GPT, it will be slow. For MBR, it's very fast.... I will be getting roughly 160MB/s. From SSD to the SAN, I can...

    Ah... You point me to the right direction. How would I change the block sizes for the hard disk? I am currently testing it with 5 X 500 Gb HDD and a SSD L2ARC and ZIL. But it's still running slowly. When I have the SAN with fibre running, i have to present it to my windows 7 as a GPT disk. I...

    Don't flame me if this doesn't work. I am a newbie with Linux / OpenSolaris. I am still wondering why I get such a low speed of data coming out of SAN. I have the data going into the SAN very quickly up to 650MB/s.... Still testing. Taking a lot of my time. Also I am getting a lot of MPT_SAS...
