How much faster is it? He estimated 250 days to rm -rf them; so 10x faster would get that down to 25 days, 100x would get it down to 2.5 days (assuming the entire time is in the stat calls, which is probably not totally true).... It's interesting how our ability to build larger disks, and our software's ability to do things like create really large numbers of files, comes back to bite us on the ass every now and then. I hope he has a background process running chipping away at it; I don't THINK 250 days in the background is going to turn out to be the best answer, but one might as well start the clock running just in case. Best answer might turn out to be to copy off the less than 20% good data and just scrag the pool. Inelegant, but might result in less downtime, or in getting the space back much faster. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
