-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just upgraded to Solaris 10 Update 10, and one of the improvements is "zfs diff".
Using the "birthtime" of the sectors, I would expect very high performance. The actual performance doesn't seems better that an standard "rdiff", though. Quite disappointing... Should I disable "atime" to improve "zfs diff" performance? (most data doesn't change, but "atime" of most files would change).
