Hi, We're currently testing a Thumper running Solaris10 with a view to buying a couple.
I'm not seeing what I would expect to see as far as snapshot space utilization and am hoping someone could explain why. Here's what I'm doing - Creating an empty zpool & zfs Creating a 6MB text file Taking a snapshot So far so good. The filesystem size is 6MB and the snapshot 0MB Now I edit the first 4 characters of the text file. I would have expected the size of the snapshot to have grown by the size of the changed *blocks* but when I do a 'zfs list' the filesystem is now reported as being around 12MB total with the snapshot around 6MB. So the snapshot is being reported as being the size of the changed *files* and not the changed *blocks*. Is this corret (that the snapshot is consuming this space) or is that just how it's being reported with th zfs list command?
