Unless you have special data formats, I think it's unlikely that the last ZFS block in the file will be exactly full. But to append without copying, you'd need some way of ignoring a portion of the data in a non-final ZFS block and stitching together the bytestream. I don't think that's possible with the ZFS layout. -- Darren _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
