One disk from the mirrored zpool failed some time ago and I replaced it
with a spare one I had in the shelve. The resilvering took pretty long
and I thought that the extended I/O times originated from the resilvering
traffic. I just rechecked the latency and that specific disk performs
terribly even after the resilvering has finished, I don’t know why.
I’ll see that I can get a replacement disk but I need to check and
order one which may take a couple of days.

Sorry for the inconvenience! :-(


Best regards
