Re: [zfs-discuss] Yet another zfs vs. vxfs comparison...
Ive heard it is hard to give an correct estimate of the used bytes in ZFS, because of this and that. It gives you only an approximate number. I think Ive read that in the ZFS administration guide somewhere in the zpool status or zfs list command?

Hi, thanks for the reply. But there must be a better explanation other than that? Otherwise it seems kinda harsh to loose 20GB per 1TB and I will most likely have to answer this question when we are going to discuss if we are to migrate to zfs over vxfs..

I think Ive read that in the ZFS administration guide somewhere in the zpool status or zfs list command? That is not correct; the amount of space used is accurate. However, as documented in the zfs(1m) manpage, it reflects the space currently used on disk, and not any pending changes. So for example after writing / deleting a file, the space used may not reflect the change until a few seconds have passed. --matt ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] Yet another zfs vs. vxfs comparison...
Hi, sorry if I am brining up old news, but I couldn't find a good answer searching the previous posts (My mom always says I am bad with finding things :) However I noticed a difference when creating a zfs filesystem compared with a vxfs filesystem in the available size. ie. ZFS zonedata/zfs [b]392G[/b] 120G 272G31%/zfs VxFS /dev/vx/dsk/zonedg/zonevol [b]400G[/b]78M 397G 1%/vxfs They are both build from 4 LUNs of the same size from the same array So where did the 8G's go? thanks, //Mike This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
