ZFS Problem Reporting
In order to have at all a chance to debug ZFS issues, the FreeBSD developers usually need this information:
dmesgoutput (this will include relevant FreeBSD build dates, versions, architecture type, amount of RAM, and highly relevant disk/storage subsystem details)- Date of when your source was csup'd (if different from build date)
/boot/loader.conffile contents/etc/sysctl.conffile contentssysctl -a | grep zfsoutputzpool statusoutputzfs get alloutputtopscreen output (mainly the header portions, re: memory usage)- If I/O is slow,
zpool iostat -v 1output while the problem happens - Anything else they can think of that seems relevant (disk I/O graphs, or whatever you think might play a role)
