This is my first ZFS pool. I'm using an X4500 with 48 TB drives. Solaris is 5/09. After the create zfs list shows 40.8T but after creating 4 filesystems/mountpoints the available drops 8.8TB to 32.1TB. What happened to the 8.8TB. Is this much overhead normal?
IIRC zpool list includes the parity drives in the disk space calculation and zfs list doesn't.
Terabyte drives are more likely 900-something GB drives thanks to that base-2 vs. base-10 confusion HD manufacturers introduced. Using that 900GB figure I get to both 40TB and 32TB for with and without parity drives. Spares aren't counted.
