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




Or even mv distributed with Solaris in case of moving a file form file system A to file system B

in the same pool could "just" change some metadata via libzfs (not that there's something like this right now).


It was also discussed here IIRC but I do not remember the conclusions.
