I still do not understand why,when I remove files on a ZFS disk using commands like (rm and rm -r),the left space does not increase,but it decreases. I would like to know what I can do to free some space if removing files does not work. And I don't understand why a ZFS disk goes fast out of space.

Hello all, I was wondering if there was anyone working on an equivalent of OpenSolaris BE? Basically, It automatically creates ZFS snapshots of the whole system each time you do a system upgrade. Next time you boot, you'll have the choice of running the new system or the old one. Pretty handy to
