Hi all,
I was wondering, when blocks are freed as part COW process are the old blocks 
put on the top or bottom of the freeblock list?

The question came about looking a thin provisioning using zfs  on top of 
dynamically expanding disk images (VDI). If the free blocks are put at the end
free block list, over time the VDI will grow to its maximum size before it 
reuses any of the blocks.

Do I have to wait for ZFS defrag?

Regards
Rodney
