Backing up the server to enable transition to TrueNAS from FreeNAS 11.3U5. Just a quick note of thanks to the iXSystems team for making the ZFS send / receive process so simple and easy to use. Setting up a replication task was far simpler than I imagined. I had visions of having to exchange SSH keys manually, setting up tunnels between the machines, etc. and the wizard was not only very helpful but comprehensive as well.
Also looks like the ZFS send is based on a single-threaded process /protocol like SMB? My Mini XL on the receiving end keeps maxing out one of its 8 cores 100%. Then the package is digested (all cores bump up) followed by yet another bout of all cores but one lying idle while one is maxed out. It's fun seeing that process dance from core to core in the CPU dashboard.
