/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6855208 I'll escalate since I have a support contract. But yes, I see this as a serious bug, I thought my machine had locked up entirely as well, it took about 2 days to finish a destroy on a volume about 12TB in size. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net

[zfs-discuss] ZFS send/recv extreme performance penalty in snv_128

prevents me from rolling back to snv_127, which would send at many tens of megabytes a second. This is on an X4540, dual quad cores, and 64GB RAM. Anyone else seeing similar issues? -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs
