Hello. I am trying to build a bootable ZFS mirror on two USB-sticks. The sticks are nothing special:
Scrub single stick is fine:
But I got the drama, when I attach second stick:
Both sticks are new. I tested it both with dd: single speed is about 33 Mbytes/s read and 25 Mbytes/s write. Simultaneously to both sticks read/write, read/read, write/write by dd() is lower, but still acceptable: about 17-20 Mbytes/s. My system is FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #0 r266463: Tue May 20 18:24:03 UTC 2014. Kernel configuration is pretty simple:
Physcal hardware is desktop mainboards with Intel 82801G (ICH7) USB controller on first, and Intel PCH USB 2.0 controller on second computer. Also I bought VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 PCI controller to split sticks to different controllers on mainboard, but results are the same.
I also tried gmirror() with these sticks. It's rebuilding with high speed like 20-30 Mbytes/s, but dump()/restore() speed of my root filesystem to mirror of sticks (sure, after rebuild is finished) is same 100-200 KBytes per second.
Is task to mirror data on USB sticks with FreeBSD possible? What did I do wrong?
