Hi,

New to OpenSolaris and ZFS...
Wondering about a size difference I see on my newly installed OpenSolaris system, Homebuilt AMD Phenom system with SATA3 disks...

[code]
jo...@krynn:~$ zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
rpool 696G 7.67G 688G 1% ONLINE -
zpool 2.72T 135K 2.72T 0% ONLINE -

The pool has disks that can hold ...
4*750000000000/1024/1024/1024/1024 =~ 2.72TB

jo...@krynn:~$ zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool 11.5G 674G 72K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 3.78G 674G 18K legacy
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris 3.78G 674G 3.65G /
rpool/dump 3.87G 674G 3.87G -
rpool/export 18.7M 674G 19K /export
rpool/export/home 18.7M 674G 50K /export/home
rpool/export/home/admin 18.6M 674G 18.6M /export/home/admin
rpool/swap 3.87G 677G 16K -
zpool 94.3K 2.00T 26.9K /zpool

In that pool, due to raidz, you can store about ...
3*750000000000/1024/1024/1024/1024 =~ 2TB

The disks are all 750GB SATA3 disks, why is zpool listing the raidz zpool as 2.74TB but zfs list the /zpool filesys as 2.0TB?
Is this a limit of my server in some way or something I can "tune" up?

Space worth about 1x750GB is lost to parity with raidz..

Thanks,
I didnt realize that the pool counted in the parity data...
I should have though... if I had bothered to calc it

*duh*
