That's mostly correct, but for volumes that have an access mode of "offsite" it doesn't work that way. If you have a copypool volume that is 20% full when you send it offsite, it's immediately a candidate for reclamation. The manual warns that this may result in excessive reclamation, if you're not careful. -- Jurjen Oskam PGP Key available at http://www.stupendous.org/
