L2ARC

sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats | egrep 'l2_(hits|misses)'

and

arc_evict

Evict buffers from list until we've removed the specified number of bytes. Move the removed buffers to the appropriate evict state. If the recycle flag is set, then attempt to "recycle" a buffer: - look for a buffer to evict that is `bytes' long. - return the data block from this buffer rather than freeing it. This flag is used by callers that are trying to make space for a new buffer in a full arc cache.


This function makes a "best effort". It skips over any buffers it can't get a hash_lock on, and so may not catch all candidates. It may also return without evicting as much space as requested.

arc_prune

Commands

Getting arc statistics

arcstat

arc_summary

Tip, for details use 

arc_summary -d

There is also 

cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats

and 

zfetchstat + kstat-analyzer from zfs-linux-tools

Getting IO statistics

zpool iostat -v 300

Terms and acronyms

vdev

Virtual Device.

ARC

Adaptive Replacement Cache

Portion of RAM used to cache data to speed up read performance

L2ARC

Level 2 Adaptive Replacement Cache

"L2ARC is usually considered if hit rate for the ARC is below 90% while having 64+ GB of RAM"

SSD cache

DMU

Data Management Unit


MFU

Most Frequently Used

MRU

Most Recently Used

zvol

kind of block device whose space is allocated from the pool, useful for iscsi targets

Scrubbing

Checking disks/data integrity 

zpool status <poolname | grep scrub

and 

zpool scrub <poolname>

probably taken care of by cron.


SLOG

See [ZIL]

ZIL

ZIL explained

the space synchronous writes are logged before the confirmation is sent back to the client

prefetch

See /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/zfetchstats

HOWTO

Caching

Add log/cache

zpool add rpool cache sdf

Add ZIL/SLOG write cache

zpool add rpool log mirror sdk sdl

Remove ZIl/SLOG mirrored cache

zpool remove mypool mirror-4 sdn1 sdo1

Getting statistics

Show cache activity

dstat --zfs-arc --zfs-l2arc --zfs-zil

zpool

zpool iostat

More statistics, every 5 seconds

zpool -v iostat 5

Flush linux caches

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

arc statistics

l2arc statistics

ZIL statistics

cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/zil

Create zfs filesystem

zfs create poolname/fsname

this also creates mountpoint


Add vdev to pool

zpool add mypool raidz1 sdg sdh sdi

Replace disk in zfs

Some links

Get information first:

Name of disk 

zpool status

Find uid of disk to replace

take it offline 

zpool offline poolname ata-WDC_WD20EFRX-68EUZN0_WD-WCC4M5RLZC6V

Get the disk guid: 

zdb

guid: 15233236897831806877

Get list of disk by id: 

ls -al /dev/disk/by-id

Save the id, shutdown, replace disk, boot:

Find the new disk: 

ls -al /dev/disk/by-id

Run replace command. The id is the guid of the old disk, name is of the new disk 

zpool replace tank /dev/disk/by-id/13450850036953119346 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000VN000-1H4168_Z302FQVZ

Showing information about ZFS pools and datasets

Show pools with sizes

zpool list

or 

zpool list -H -o name,size


Show reservations on datasets

zfs list -o name,reservations

Swap on zfs

https://askubuntu.com/questions/228149/zfs-partition-as-swap

vdevs

multiple vdevs

Multiple vdevs in a zpool get striped. What about balance?

invalid vdev specification

Probably means you need -f

show balance between vdevs

zpool iostat -v 'pool' [interval in seconds]

orjust 

zpool iostat -vc 'pool'

Tuning arc settings

See Tuning ZFS modules parameters

zfs_arc_max

Linux defaults to giving 50% of RAM to arc, this is when: 

cat /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max
0
grep c_max /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats

To change this: 

echo 5368709120 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max

and add to /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf 

options zfs zfs_arc_max=5368709120


and perhaps clear caches and reset counters: 

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Tune zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent

Assuming zfs_arc_dnode_limit = 0: 

echo 20 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent

In /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf: 

options zfs zfs_arc_dnode_limit_percent=20

FAQ

Arc metadata size exceeds maximum=

So arc_meta_used > arc_meta_limit


show status and disks

zpool status

show drives/pools

zfs list

check raid level

zfs list -a


Estimate raidz speeds

raidz1: N/(N-1) * IOPS
raidz2: N/(N-2) * IOPS
raidz3: N/(N-3) * IOPS


VDEV cache disabled, skipping section

Looks like you just don't have l2arc cache


cannot export 'tank': pool is busy

After checking stuff like nfs etc try: 

zfs unshare -a
zfs umount -a -f
zpool export -f tank
