Yep, the cp /dev/null <file> works to truncate. So I can deal with it. Yep, everything is snapshotted. Yep, this is a Sun issue not a FreeBSD one. FreeBSD should just stay current with the versions and the minimum needed to port... fbsd dev time is valuable elsewhere. I do remember reading about copy on write, d-oh :) ZFS should probably keep track of the largest extent needed to effect any given operation and reserve that behind the scenes. If it took n bytes to create something sans data, it'll probably take n bytes to modify it. Quotas and things might work though the user under quota might run into the same problem. Who knows.
