katI've been trying to copy a single 4TiB ZFS dataset between 2 machines for > 1week now. On dedicated 1Gb/s network with jumbo frames it takes ~ 20 hours over SSH ... however SSH keeps dying after ~ 12 hours with "Broken Pipe" :-(
Anyway, I had enough space on the local box to dump the stream to file; and have copied it remote using netcat `zfs send tank/foo@then > foo.zfs` `cat foo.zfs | nc backup 9000`
I guess 4TiB will not seem like very much data to some people. But it's like 3,000,000 floppy disks, and it's a single file. - remember how much of a chore copying floppy disks was ? In 20 years, it'll be like "OMFG remember when you thought copying 4TiB was hard, lol"
@mcscx what is md3sum ? I can't find it in FreeBSD ? I think I will do a md5 of the files though. They sizes are the same, it's just everything takes *so* *long*!
