The database is MySQL, it runs on a Linux box that connects to the Nexenta server through 10GbE using iSCSI. Just a short question - wouldn't it be easier, and perhaps faster, to just have the MySQL DB on an NFS share? iSCSI adds complexity, both on the target and the initiator. Also,

At this point, I will repeat my recommendation about using zpool-in-files as a backup (staging) target. Depending where you ost, and how you combine the files, you can achieve these scenarios without clunkery, and with all the benefits a zpool provides. This is another good scheme. I

After having launched replace command, I had to offlined c0t9d0 because it was generating too many warnings and slow down i/os. Now replace seems to be finished but zpool status still displays replacing and according to scrub status, resilver seems to continue ? Any idea how to clarify

If you have one zpool consisting of only one large raidz2, then you have a slow raid. To reach high speed, you need maximum 8 drives in each raidz2. So one of the reasons it takes time, is because you have too many drives in your raidz2. Everything would be much faster if you split your zpool
