Hi,
My reading of write code of ZFS (zfs_write in zfs_vnops.c), is that all the
writes in zfs are logged in the ZIL. And if that indeed is the case, then

some light on it.
I'm a newbie to ZFS. I have a special question against the COW transaction of
ZFS.
Does ZFS keeps the sequential consistency of the same file when it meets power
outage or server crash?
Assume foll
