Well, I haven't solved everything yet, but I do feel better now that I realize that it was setting moutpoint=none that caused the zfs send/recv to hang. Allowing the default mountpoint setting fixed that problem. I'm now trying with moutpoint=legacy, because I'd really rather leave it unmounted, especially during the backup itself, to prevent changes happening while the incrementals are copying over, and also in the end to hopefully let me avoid using -F.
The incrementals (copying all the snapshots beyond the first one copied) are really slow, however. Is there anything that can be done to speed that up? I'm using compression (gzip-1) on the source filesystem. I wanted the backup to retain the same compression. Can ZFS copy the compressed version over to the backup, or does it really have to uncompress it and recompress it? That takes time and lots of CPU cycles. I'm dealing with highly compressible data (at least 6.5:1). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
