5.38 TiB / 5.65 TiB [===========================================================================================================================>------] 95.14% 4h26m35sError: unexpected EOF real 5247m31.386s user 342m44.012s sys 652m22.150s Close, but no cigar. The slowdown I've seen towards the end was likely due to swappiness (1 GB swap). So, as a rule of thumb I'm going to assume 1 GB RAM for 1 TB pinned.
