I'd personally say send/recv would be more efficient, rsync is awfully slow on large data sets. But, it depends what build you are using! BugID 6418042 (slow zfs send/recv) was fixed in build 105, it impacted send/recv operations local to remote, not sure if it happens local to local, but I experienced it doing local-remote send/recv. Not sure the best way to handle moving data around, when space is tight though... -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
