Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to change the balance algorithm on an
existing gmirror setup, without destroying any data/configuration. I am
trying to do some benchmarks, to compare which would work best for my
needs. Speaking of.. I noticed this strange behavior, while running a
concurrent csup session and extracting the ports tar file, where one
disk would get 100% usage, but second around 10.
Disks   ad4   ad6
KB/t   2.12  2.30
tps     322   394
MB/s   0.67  0.89
% busy   98     8
I am using the round-robin algorithm here, in case it matters.
