All this discussion hasn't answered one thing for me: exactly _how_ does ZFS do resilvering? Both in the case of mirrors, and of RAIDZ[2] ?

I've seen some mention that it goes in cronological order (which to me, means that the metadata must be read first) of file creation, and that only used blocks are rebuilt, but exactly what is the methodology being used?
