I'm currently running syncoid with `--quiet`, which removes `pv` from the pipeline. It seems to be moving along, but of course I can't easily tell what it's doing.
Without `pv` in the way, the process reading the pipe is `lzop` instead, which doesn't try to do any fancy select() stuff, it's just a normal filter reading data from stdin and writing compressed data to stdout, in sequence. -GAWollman
