Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't think about the possibility of compression so I'll look into this further. However, snapshots don't seem to be the issue. If it's helpful, the KVM was originally created from an image and not built from scratch. I was able to reproduce the problem on another VM (on the same server). I'm going to run the same scenario on another server running the same/different version of SmartOS to see if the problem is more widespread. Again, thanks for the help!
