Hello, While destroying a dataset, sometimes ZFS kind of hangs the machine. I imagine it''s starving all I/O while deleting the blocks, right ? Here logbias=latency, the commit interval is the default (30 seconds) and we have SSDs for logs and cache. Is there a way to "slow down" the destroy a little bit in order to reserve I/O for NFS clients ? Degraded performance isn''t as bad as total loss of availability our case. I was thinking we could set logbias=throughput and decrease the commit interval to 10 seconds to keep it running more smoothly. Here''s the pool configuration. Note the 2 slogs devices.. they were supposed to be a mirror but got added by mistake.
