According to how rsync works, the actual sent data should be much less than the size of the file(s), however, I noticed that the used space of the dataset+snapshot was the combined size of the older and newer file.
The increase of space consumed is because rsync copied to a new temporary file in order to assure that there is no corruption.
But do you think it would be possible to create a version of rsync that worked more closely with ZFS in such a way that only the changes could be written to disk?
Use these rsync options to achieve the desired behavior: --inplace --no-whole-file Bob -- Bob Friesenhahn bfrie...@simple.dallas.tx.us, http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
