"zfs list" output shows the amount of usable pool storage allocated to the data. This is more indicative of what the end-user believes they are using. This doesn't include redundancy or anything like that, but does include some compression and other info (I believe). There's an excellent post in the archives that shows how "ls -l", du, df, "zfs list", and "zpool list" work, and what each sees as "disk usage". Don't remember exactly who wrote it, though. It should definitely be added to the ZFS Admin Guide, though. :) -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com
