We have a problem when a hfs/zfs grows to a huge size and since partial release doesn't work on these files to recover the allocated but unused space we have to perform a copy process to a new dataset.
We have the same issue here. Our daily backups and weekly dumps got slower and slower and we didn't know why. Turned out many of our HFS/ZFS files had grown unbelievably huge (due to temporary spikes in needed DASD capacity), yet were practically empty. Reallocating them was no trivial task. A real PITA!
