Rsync extremely slow on two ZFS local pools

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/zfs

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • sanoid

    These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)

  • Try installing sanoid and have it replicate the dataset for you. It is a wrapper for zfs send that has lots of optimizations.

  • fpart

    Sort files and pack them into partitions

  • Native rsync is terrible for lots of small file as it copies each file one by one sequentially. If you have lots of cores to work with, use the fpsync utility that comes with the fpart command to run parallel rsync's. You can easily saturate a 10Gb link with multiple rsync processes in parallel

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
