Hi all I'm currently moving a fairly big dataset (~2TB) within the same zpool. Data is being moved from a dataset to another, which has dedup enabled.
The transfer started at quite a slow transfer speed — maybe 12MB/s. But it is now crawling to a near halt. Only 800GB has been moved in 48 hours. I looked for similar problems on the forums and other places, and it seems dedup needs a much bigger amount of RAM than the server currently has (3GB), to perform smoothly for such an operation. My question is, how can I gracefully stop the ongoing operation? What I did was simply "mv temp/* new/" in an ssh session (which is still open). Can I disable dedup on the dataset while the transfer is going on? Can I simply Ctrl-C the procress to stop it? Shoul I be careful of anything? Help would be appreciated -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
