My zfs filesystem hangs when transferring large filesystems (>500GB) with a couple dozen snapshots between servers using zfs send/receive with netcat. The transfer hangs about halfway through and is unkillable, freezing all IO to the filesystem, requiring a hard reboot. I have attempted this three times and failed every time.
On the destination server I use: nc -l -p 8023 | zfs receive -vd sas On the source server I use: zfs send -vR promise1/rbac...@daily.1 | nc mothra 8023 The filesystems on both servers are the same (zfs version 3). The source zpool is version 22 (build 129), and the destination server is version 14 (build 111b). Rsync does not have this problem and performs extremely well. However, it will not transfer snapshots. Two other send/receives (234GB and 451GB) between the same servers have worked fine without hanging.
