[zfs-discuss] Pool performance when nearly full

2012-12-20 Thread sol
Hi I know some of this has been discussed in the past but I can't quite find the exact information I'm seeking (and I'd check the ZFS wikis but the websites are down at the moment). Firstly, which is correct, free space shown by "zfs list" or by "zpool iostat" ? zfs list: used 50.3 TB, free 13.

Hi I added a 3TB Seagate disk (ST3000DM001) and ran the 'format' command but it crashed and dumped core. However the zpool 'create' command managed to create a pool on the whole disk (2.68 TB space). I hope that's only a problem with the format command and not with zfs or any other part of t
