Hi all: I'm a new guy who is just started ZFS for half a year. We are using Nexenta in corporate pilot environment. these days, when I was trying to move around 4TB data from an old pool(4*2TB raidz) to new pool (11*2TB raidz2), it seems will never end up successfully. 1. I used CP first. the initial speed is great @ 250MB/s. but it will suddenly become s...@400kb/s when around 400-600GB data is copied. I've tried several times. 2. Use Rsync. Speed is crab, around 15MB/s. it will end up good but performance seems dropped even after Rsync finished. 3. use ZFS send|recv. Speed is close to CP. but still suddenly go down to xxxKB/s after around 1.5TB migrated. 4. I've tried CP to remote server which has 1Gb nic connection. It can be finished but I can see a significant system slow down.
what's the root cause of that? is it because the memory is too low? all my ZFS system has 12GB memory. I'm considering adding at least 12GB more to each of them. thanks fei -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
