<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">One thing you can look at is running 'zpool iostat 1' (there are many

options) to monitor that ZFS is still doing I/O during that time gap. <br>
With NVMe though, as Andreas said, I would expect that time gap to last <br>
seconds to minutes, not hours.<br>
