zpool import is very slow

[zp841126]

ZFS version: 0.6.5.5-1~trusty

I have 6TB zfs pool and created a zvol. zpool import -d spend about 10 minutes. Is there any way to speed this process?

Hello,

First upgrade to 0.6.5.6, where zpool import was greatly improved when you
have a large number of zvol (or do you have only one ?).
Also check number of snapshots, and ensure you have property snapdev=hidden

Yes, I only have one zvol and no snapshot

I will try 0.6.5.6

[zp841126]

Hi Olivier,

I tried 0.6.5.6, it work fine. But it seems in this version, create zvol is async operation, some times, zvol not be created after zpool import return. Could you confirm is it by design?

[behlendorf]

Yes this is by design. Technically it was async before as well since udev will always create the nodes asynchronously, but now it's more pronounced.

[zp841126]

Thanks for your help.

After upgrade to 0.6.5.6. The import issue have resolved. So close it.
