With the exact same devices (computer, external hard drive…), my ZFS backup (via
zfs send | zfs recv
) takes much longer than before. Now, it takes around 1.5 to 2.2mn to copy 1Go, but before I think to remember that it could easily copy multiple Go per mn (with around 100M/s if my memory is correct, so maybe 6G per mn if it's possible).
$ zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
zfs_pool 1.63T 1.22T 420G - - 47% 74% 1.00x ONLINE -
zpool_my_passport 1.81T 1.68T 135G - - 17% 92% 1.00x ONLINE -
(passport is the external hard drive (it is NOT SSD, but zfs_pool is an SSD))
I feel like the issue started when the external drive started to be full (I now need to remove old snapshots), but 17% of fragmentation does not seem that bad (but 47% seems worse no?). Any idea if fragmentation could be the issue here, and if I can somehow restore the old performances?
