So if I snapshot a filesystem, then clone it, then delete a file from both the clone and the original filesystem, the presence of the snapshot will prevent the file blocks from being recovered, and there is no way I can get rid of those blocks short of deleting both the clone and the snapshot. Did I get that right? Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
