Woot, everything went great! Got my terabyte of stuff (which is more than it sounds like, because there are hard-link trees encompassing daily changes to the main dataset (currently 700GB) going back through July of 2009) transferred and received just fine. ![]() Anybody with direct experience (or who can find a DIRECT statement one way or the other somewhere) gets a cookie. Here's my only concern: if the transfer gets interrupted before the 80+ hours pv estimates it will require are complete, and I start it again, will it pick back up where it left off (like an rsync job would) or will I be starting all over again, from byte zero? I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer to this so far. (Yes, this is a completely trusted private network.) The transfer is going very, very slowly because oldbox has a failing drive in a RAIDZ1 array, but the drive (curse you forever, goddamn Seagate) is reporting no errors, just operating incredibly s-l-o-w-l-y and making nasty godawful clicks of death, so I am not 100% entirely sure which drive it is and am trying to avoid having to fail it out of the array before getting a full backup of all the data on it.
