Thanks for pointing to the reference material.
6_675_374_080/213_674_622_976 =approx= 0.03124 =approx= 1.0/32.0
and spa_slop_shift's description reports:
QUOTE
spa_slop_shift (int)
Normally, we don't allow the last 3.2%
(1/(2^spa_slop_shift)) of space in the pool to be consumed.
This ensures that we don't run the pool completely out of
space, due to unaccounted changes (e.g. to the MOS). It
also limits the worst-case time to allocate space. If we
have less than this amount of free space, most ZPL
operations (e.g. write, create) will return ENOSPC.
Default value: 5.
END QUOTE
So in my simple context, apparently not much else
contributes and the figures are basically as
expected.
Thanks again.
