As Cindy said, skip dedup for now. It's not stable (enough). Try to destroy a

I am working on a home file server. After reading a wide range of blogs and
forums, I have a few questions that are still not clear to me
1. Is there a benefit in having quad core CPU (e.g. Athlon II X4 vs X2)? All
of the web blogs seem to suggest using lower-wattage dual core CPUs. But;
Craig,
I'm sure the other home file server users will comment on your gear
and any possible benefit of a L2ARC or separate log device...
Use the default checksum which is fletcher4, I fixed the tuning guide
reference, skip dedup for now. Keep things as simple as possible.
Thanks,

How are you measuring using 60% across all four cores?
I kicked off a scrub just to see, and we're scrubbing at 200MB/s (2
vdevs) and the CPU is 94% idle, 6% kernel, 0% IOWAIT.
zpool-tank is using 3.2% CPU as shown by 'ps aux | grep tank'
