Even the fastest USB3 thumb drive is slower than the slowest cheapest hard drive. Whatever specs are published on the supposed speed of the flash drive, don't believe them. I'm not saying they lie - just that they publish the fastest conceivable speed under ideal situations, which are totally unrealistic and meaningless in the real world. I suspect you're using a junky 1G slow-as-dirt usb thumb drive. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
