With ZFS as local file system it shouldn't be a problem unless tar fdsync's each file but then removing fdsyncs would be easier. In case of nfs/zfs multi-threaded tar should help but I guess not for writes but rather for file/dirs creation and file closes. If you only put writes to worker threads I'm not sure it will really help much if any. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
