        dd(1) is the usual answer:

                dd if=/dev/rrz{whatever}c of=/dev/rrz{whatever}c bs=...

        A larger block size on the bs= option allows better
        performance. If the transfer size is not a factor of
        the capacity, dd(1) seems to do the reasonable for the
        short block at the end.
