Even if that maximum number of shared collections is that much, I think the information should be available if requested, even if it becomes similar to a 'scrub' operation in terms of the time taken. For a filesystem like mine that only has 10 or so snapshots, I'd really only expect 3 or 4 of the shared collections to stand out in terms of disk usage.
For filesystems with 100's of snapshots, they can filter the data as desired. It would probably take a long time but at least the can get the information if they really need it. It's better than not having access to the information at all. I'm not sure if time could be saved by requesting disk usage for only a single shared collection, but if it does that could also be an option as you suggest. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
