Changing any of the zfs properties only affects data written after the change is made. Thus, reducing the recordsize for a filesystem will only affect newly written data. Any existing data is not affected until it is re-written or copied. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
