Howdy folks.

I've a customer looking to use ZFS in a DR situation. They have a large data store where they will be taking snapshots every N minutes or so, sending the difference of the snapshot and previous snapshot with zfs send -i to a remote host, and in case of DR firing up the secondary.

Cool!

However, I've seen a few references to the speed of zfs send being, well, a bit slow. Anyone want to comment on the current speed of "zfs send"? Any recent changes or issues found in this area?

What bits are you running? I made some recent improvements (6490104, fixed in build 53, targeted for s10u4). There are still a few issues, but by and large, performance should be very good.

Can you describe what problem you're experiencing? How much data, how many files, how big of a stream, what transport, how long it takes, are you seeing lots of CPU or disk activity on the sending or receiving side when it's slow?
