Hi,

Obviously, moving ('renaming') files between ZFSs on the same zpools is just 
like a move between any other two filesystems, requiring full copy of the data 
and deletion of the old file.

I was wondering if there is (and why there isn't) an optimization inside ZFS, 
thus that copy between ZFSs on the same zpool would be instantaneous or 
near-so. After all, no blocks /really/ need to be copied, it's more about ZFS 
finding out that it's a move within the same zpool and inode modifications at 
the source / target.

Thoughts?
