I took binary dumps of the snapshots taken in between the edits and this showed that there was actually very little change in the block structure, however the incremental snapshots were very large. So the conclusion I draw from this is that the snapshot simply contains every written block since the last snapshot regardless of whether the data in the block has changed or not.
Okay so snapshots work this way, I'm simply suggesting that things could be better. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
