:I briefly thought the low I/O figures on da1 (mirroring from da0 to da1) might
:have been a new quirk:

:...but it completed in appropriate time and all the data appears to be there, so
:I'm not sure if HAMMER was being smart enough to skip over what existed from a
:previous interrupted copy or what.  I don't really remember whether the
:pre-patch stats actually looked any different for the destination disk.

:[SATA disks on a mpt0, write caches enabled.]

    The more likely case is that the mirror stream repeated the data but
    since the target already had it there was no need to re-write it on
    the target.  In that case the only disk activity on the target will
    be accessing and comparing the meta-data.

    It tries to stage the mirroring stream so it can pick up where it
    left off but it's a bit of a hack.  If it managed to complete a
    batch then it certainly will pick up after the completion and not
    resend the whole batch.  I need to redo the code to actually
    calculate the batch size and split things up based on that instead
    of splitting things up based on B-Tree key ranges.

    This applies to initial mirroring only, of course.  Once the initial
    copy is finished all later mirroring runs will be incremental.
