As far as I understand your question - yes it will return the space. Unless you explicitly told ZFS to reserve specific amount of space it takes as much space as given filesystems currently needs. There's no expanding/shrinking in ZFS because ZFS filesystems are not partitioning the disk in the general meaning of that word. The ZFS filesystems behave in a very similar way to directories. -- Best regards, Derek mailto:[email protected] -- Press any key... no, no, no, NOT THAT ONE! _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
