Hello zfs-discuss,

 I noticed on a nfs server with ZFS that even with atime set to off
 and clients only reading data (almost 100% reads - except some
 unlinks()) I still can see some MB/s being written according to
 zpool iostat. What could be the couse? How can I see what is
 actually being written by ZFS (what files, metadata, etc.)?

For file/block I/O, the DTraceToolkit's iosnoop and rwsnoop scripts can be super useful. Metadata might be a bit trickier to locate, since it is file system dependent. Anyone know if there is a filestat utility for ZFS?

Thanks,
- Ryan
