ZFS benchmarking ideas

I’m about to double the RAM in my ZFS system. It will go from 4GB to 8GB.

Right now, I have:

real memory  = 4294967296 (4096 MB)
avail memory = 4100382720 (3910 MB)

I’m not interested in any big extensive benchmarks. I just want something simple. Hence:

$ cd /storage/bonnie/
[dan@kraken:/storage/bonnie] $ ls -l
total 0
[dan@kraken:/storage/bonnie] $ bonnie++

After installing the new HDD and the 4GB of RAM:

real memory  = 8589934592 (8192 MB)
avail memory = 8252592128 (7870 MB)

I also noticed this:

GEOM: mirror/gm0s1: geometry does not match label (16h,63s != 255h,63s).

But everything appears find:

$ gmirror status
      Name    Status  Components
mirror/gm0  COMPLETE  ada8
                      ada9

Drives have been renumbered. I used to have ad0..adad8. My gmirror was previously ada7 and ada8.

Here’s the new bonnie++ output:
