Try piping zfs data through mbuffer (misc/mbuffer in ports). I've found that it does help a lot to smooth out data flow and increase send/receive throughput even when send/receive happens on the same host. Run it with a buffer large enough to accommodate few seconds worth of write throughput for your target disks. Here's an example: http://blogs.everycity.co.uk/alasdair/2010/07/using-mbuffer-to-speed-up-slow-zfs-send-zfs-receive/ --Artem _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
