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

    Same NAS, same filesystem on an SSD without redundancy

      Still the same, or has it solved itself?

      If it’s lots of small files, rather than a few large ones? That’ll be the file allocation table and / or journal…

      A few large files? Not sure… something’s getting in the way.
