This is why copying filesystems via star is much faster:
- There is no pipe that slows down I/O
- The star FIFO is between both star processes
and thus both star processes take advantage of the
FIFO. The filesystem read process may read in bigger
chunks than ufsdump as long as there is free space
in the FIFO. The filesystem write process may write
much bigger chunks than ufsrestore as long as there is
data in the FIFO.
Just call star -copy ..... and set FIFO size to a reasonable
big number with the fs= option.
