Is anyone aware of any freeware program that can speed up copying tons of data (2 TB) from UFS to ZFS on same server?
I use 'ufsdump | ufsrestore'*. I would also suggest try setting 'sync=disabled' during the operation, and reverting it afterwards. Certainly, fastfs (a similar although more dangerous option for ufs) makes ufs to ufs copying significantly faster.
*ufsrestore works fine on ZFS filesystems (although I haven't tried it with any POSIX ACLs on the original ufs filesystem, which would probably simply get lost).
