Richard,
Thanks for this, this explains why I am seeing this. I am using
snapshots as I am replicating the data to other servers (via zfs
send/recieve) is there another way to prevent this behaviour and
still use snapshots? Or do I need to create these volumes as thin
provisioned to get around this?
IMHO, many volume use cases can be sparse. For virtual machine disks, I
use sparse, compressed, and (soon) deduplicated volumes.
