Why is the target disk (first image) being used constantly while the source disks are all pretty much idle (second image)?

What happened before this? I am transferring all existing ZFS data from /mnt/ZFS_MOUNT/ to /mnt/TargetTransferDisk/ as follows:
That copy finished in about 3 hours or so (with the target disk being used for 150MB - 200MB on average).
Then, to be certain I wouldn't miss anything, I gave the following command:
That command has been running now for about a good 9 hours... The command still isn't done and I get the weird screenshots above...
Anyone an idea what's happening here technically? I can't explain it :)
Peace!

PS: no other tasks are running, I'm rebuilding this NAS after a few years due to hardware upgrades and some set backs : ) I'm still on 9.3, but my question here is not about FreeNAS perse, but more a BSD question in nature... When the cp * command finished all disks showed 0 bytes disk usage - confirming no other tasks are running on it nor or any media files indexed (there are none) or is a workstation in the network working on it... I'm just rebuilding by first making a backup of all existing ZFS data. Thank you ;p
