Hi Guys, We are in the process of using snapshots and zfs send/recv to copy terrabytes of database datafiles.
Due to CoW not being very friendly to databases we have a LOT of fragmentation on the datafiles. This really slows down zfs send. Is it possible (or already done) to have zfs send/recv able to do a blockwise send/recv of a zpool/zfs dataset so that we can harness the speed of sequential I/O. This would also solve the uncompress/recompress nature of zfs send/recv. It's probably easier said than done, however I hope it gets looked at :) Cheers David -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
