dmesg output (this will include relevant FreeBSD build dates, versions, architecture type, amount of RAM, and highly relevant disk/storage subsystem details)/boot/loader.conf file contents/etc/sysctl.conf file contentssysctl -a | grep zfs outputzpool status outputzfs get all outputtop screen output (mainly the header portions, re: memory usage)zpool iostat -v 1 output while the problem happensSource: Jeremy Chadwick on "ZFS performance as the FS fills up", 2011-03-09 on FreeBSD-stable mailing list
