[zfs-discuss] safe zfs-level snapshots with a UFS-on-ZVOL filesystem?

Hi Mario, This is common knowledge but not completely true. The bottleneck of BWT is the suffix sorting step and there have been many recent advances that significantly reduced the time and space needs of the algorithm. Of course, it will probably never be so fast as a lightweight Ziv-Lempel
