HAST initial sync speed

[Thomas Rasmussen]

Hello list,

I finally got my ZFS/HAST setup up and running, or trying to at least.
I am wondering how fast the initial HAST sync normally is - I created
these 4 HAST providers yesterday on 4 146 gig drives, and they still each
have over 90 gigabytes 'dirty' today. The machines are powerful (dell
r710) and are otherwise idle, and they are connected to the same gigabit
switch.

I can supply details about any part of the configuration if needed, but I
just wanted to ask if you guys believe something is wrong here. I can't help
but think, if the initial sync takes 24+ hours, then if I ever need to
replace one of the servers, I will be without redundancy until the new
server reaches 0 'dirty' bytes, correct ?

Thank you in advance for any input,

Best regards,

Thomas Steen Rasmussen
