Proxmox ZFS transfer vs LVM, progress

 

Progress report of Migration with ZFS

If you're using LVM to migrate VMs between nodes you won't get any progress reported, with ZFS you get a percentage complete which is useful. WIth LVM migration between nodes, all you can do is issue "pkill -USR1 dd" on the terminal and it'll tell you how many GB are transferred at that moment, but not a percentage so it isn't easy to determine how long it'll take.
