Hi all,
Cute! And just to be sure, you're not just talking about snapshot incrementals, are you? You'd be able to do this for the entire filesystem full snapshot? Hopefully it'd be able to get close to wire/disk speed.
Just for ZFS (under FreeBSD): I have throttle inbetween (15 Megabit/second) because it was "hammering" the disks to a stand still for the rest of the system. Yep, this, the 20% free space and the generous use of RAM are my main issues with ZFS but they are not big enough to outweight the advantages I see in everyday administration. The snapshots (and zfs send/receive - I mirror every mission-critical filesystem to a "partner" machine) are part of the advantages, it is all very easy. Regards Peter
