A year ago I set up Ubuntu server with 3 ZFS pools on my server, normally I don’t make copies of very large files but today I was making a copy of a ~30GB directory and I saw in rsync that the transfer doesn’t exceed 3mb/s (cp is also very slow).

What is the best file system that “just works”? I’m thinking of migrating everything to ext4

EDIT: I really like the automatic pool recovery feature in ZFS, has saved me from 1 hard drive failure so far

    they may be using really slow hard drives or an SSD without DRAM.

    or maybe a shitty network switch?

    maybe the bandwidth is used up by a torrent box?

    there’s a lot of possible causes.
