If it works for you then great. All I can report is that this has come up before many times on the users mailing list, and, when I try and rsync my 8TB of backups from one box to another with 4GB RAM, it fails. 4GB is enough RAM in every other task that the box performs - so I'm not about to increase it just to make rsync work (until 16GB isn't enough anymore). What I'm trying to get across is that approach doesn't scale. As you say, ZFS is a far better approach - but limits you to OpenSolaris or Nextenta or BSD?
