I have 1TB mirror deduplicated pool. snv_134 runned on x86 i7 PC with 8GB RAM I destroyed 30GB zfs volume and now trying to import that pool at the LiveUSB runned osol. It works 2h already, I'm waiting ... How can I see some progressbar or another signs of current import job? -- This message

Ugh! If you received a direct response to me instead of via the list, apologies for that. Rob: I'm just reporting the news. The RFE is out there. Just like SLOGs, I happen to think it a good idea, personally, but that's my personal opinion. If it makes dedup more usable, I don't see the

The DDT is stored within the pool, IIRC, but there is an RFE open to allow you to store it on a separate top level VDEV, like a SLOG. The other thing I've noticed with all of the destroyed a large dataset with dedup enabled and it's taking forever to import/destory/insert function here questions

RFE open to allow you to store [DDT] on a separate top level VDEV hmm, add to this spare, log and cache vdevs, its to the point of making another pool and thinly provisioning volumes to maintain partitioning flexibility. taemun: hay, thanks for closing the loop!

The system in question has 8GB of ram. It never paged during the import (unless I was asleep at that point, but anyway). It ran for 52 hours, then started doing 47% kernel cpu usage. At this stage, dtrace stopped responding, and so iopattern died, as did iostat. It was also increasing ram usage

After around four days the process appeared to have stalled (no audible hard drive activity). I restarted with milestone=none; deleted /etc/zfs/zpool.cache, restarted, and went zpool import tank. (also allowed root login to ssh, so I could make new ssh sessions if required.) Now I can watch the

Do you think that more RAM would help this progress faster? We've just hit 48 hours. No visible progress (although that doesn't really mean much). It is presently in a system with 8GB of ram, I could try to move the pool across to a system with 20GB of ram, if that is likely to expedite the
