[zfs-discuss] zfs send to remote any ideas for a faster way than ssh?

[Richard Jahnel]

I've tried ssh blowfish and scp arcfour. both are CPU limited long before the 10g link is.

I'vw also tried mbuffer, but I get broken pipe errors part way through the transfer.

I'm open to ideas for faster ways to to either zfs send directly or through a compressed file of the zfs send output.

For the moment I;

zfs send > pigz
scp arcfour the file gz file to the remote host
gunzip < to zfs receive

This takes a very long time for 3 TB of data, and barely makes use the 10g connection between the machines due to the CPU limiting on the scp and gunzip processes.

Thank you for your thoughts
