Sorry, can't help you. I was expecting to see a lot of small
transactions, indicating seeking across the file system, but the numbers
seem normal enough.

Is the drive & ZFS topology "normal" - you don't perhaps have a zpool
made of multiple partitions/slices on the same drive? Can you send the
output of "zpool status"?
