I had high hopes of significant performance gains using zfs diff in
Solaris 11 compared to my home-brew stat based version in Solaris 10.
However the results I have seen so far have been disappointing.
Testing on a reasonably sized filesystem (4TB), a diff that listed 41k
changes took 77 minutes. I haven't tried my old tool, but I would
expect the same diff to take a couple of hours.
The box is well specified, an x4270 with 96G of RAM and a FLASH
accelerator card used for log and cache.
Are there any ways to improve diff performance?
