I feel like it might have increased dramatically -- on a box with 1GB of RAM six DTUs firing up and displaying the greeter brings the machine to its knees.</p> Re: ZFS resliver performance improved! Chris Gerhard 2010-01-07T09:46:22+00:00 2010-01-07T09:46:22+00:00 <p>That is one advantage of ZFS. It was only resilvering what had been written. So Although the drive is 1TB it only resilvers 225G. So had the disk been full it would have been up in the same range as your drive.</p> <p>Now however, if we assume it scales linearly it would complete in a little over 24 hours for a full 1TB.</p> Re: ZFS resliver performance improved!
