So far I understand that if a file is to be modified, it will first copy the 
data to be modified in a new location in the ZFS pool, then modify that new 
data and do all the ZFS voodoo it does, and ultimately do the very last step of 
the operation (which I think is the final change of the pointers). But what if 
the power goes out at exactly the same time as this very last step happens? 
Don't I have a lost or corrupted file then?

If not, can someone explain to me why?

Thanks!
