It depends on throughput and how often do you send. But you need to compare it to the HAST / iSCSI scenario. Even with this setup ZFS don't write to disk immediately but in batch delayed according to some sysctl settings and you will lose this amount of data in all cases + data on clients which cannot write and must restart their NFS sessions (again this apply to HAST / iSCSI scenario) If you will ZFS send often, you can lose about 2 or 4 times more. It depends on you if it is too much or not. Miroslav Lachman
