Hello everybody,

is there a way to compute very quickly some hash of a file in a zfs?
As I understand it, everything is signed in the filesystem, so I'm wondering if 
I can avoid reading whole files with md5sum just to get a unique hash. Seems 
very redundant to me :)


Signing implies use of a key which ZFS does not use for its block based checksums.

There is no "quick" way to do this just now because ZFS checksums are block based not whole file based.
