It's very useful and takes a different tack than the source tour, etc.
There's a place for all of them.
Could someone please place a link to
Thanks, Darren.
I've taken the liberty of reordering my follow-up for clarity. Just to
be clear, I'm not critiquing ZFS, just trying to learn it by pushing at
some of the corner cases of filesystem-system interactions. I'm trying
to figure out the implications of various ZFS features when
Apologies in advance for the newbie internals question, but could someone
please give me a pointer to how ZFS snapshots cause future modifications to
files to be written to different disk blocks? I'm looking at OpenSolaris NV
bld 66.
How do snapshots interact with open files or files with
