If a system was running something older, e.g., Solaris 11; the "free" 
blocks will not be marked such on the server even after the system 
upgrades to Solaris 11.1.

There might be a way to force that by disabling compression and then 
create a large file full with NULs and then remove that.  But you need to 
check first that this has some effect before you even try.
