Eric, in my understanding ( which I learned from more qualified people but I may be mistaken anyway ), whenever we discuss a transfer rate like x Mb/s, y GB/s or z PB/d, the M, G, T or P refers to the frequency and not to the data. 1 MB/s means transfer bytes at 1 MHz, NOT transfer megabytes

IMHO, what matters is that pretty much everything from the disk controller to the CPU and network interface is advertised in power-of-2 terms and disks sit alone using power-of-10. And students are taught that computers work with bits and so everything is a power of 2. That is simply not true:

My guess is unit conversion and rounding. Your pool has 11 base 10 TB, which is 10.2445 base 2 TiB. Likewise your fs has 9 base 10 TB, which is 8.3819 base 2 TiB. Not quite. 11 x 10^12 =~ 10.004 x (1024^4). So, the 'zpool list' is right on, at 10T available. Duh! I completely
