I feel this 19.07 MiB/s which started at 95MiB/s, when it reaches 0 this will end, am I right ?

[substr]

RAID 1 is not the same as ZFS mirror. You are creating a RAID 1, which has a long initializing time.

[JoseMR]

Like substr said, Software RAID-1 and a ZFS Mirror are two completely different things/solutions, I will strongly recommend you to re-parse what you really want.

Personally between Software RAID on top of the legacy UFS, and ZFS, I will recommend ZFS hands down.

start from scrath, and this time use ZFS Mirror, is really fast.

[kazimurtaza]

Fast in configuration also ?

I would start over from command line using a tutorial like this one.
