and you want to move huge amount of data from /tank/foo to /tank/bar.
If you use mv/tar/dump it will copy entire data. Much faster will be to
'zfs join tank tank/foo && zfs join tank tank/bar' then just mv the data
and 'zfs split' them back:)



Wouldn't something like 'zfs move' solve both these problems?

Since the storage pool stays the same, you could:
zfs create newpool
zfs move /data/ /tank/newpool

then remount newpool in the appropiate place.
