I've seen this question asked in a number of forums but I haven't seen an answer. (May just have not looked hard enough)

Copy-on-write means that most writes are sequential, which is good for write performance, but won't it mean that random writes to a file will put bits of the file all over the place?

How does this affect sequential read performance? Does ZFS' read- ahead mean that this isn't the problem it could be?
