Hi,
We are currently using NetApp file clone option to clone multiple VMs on our FS.
ZFS dedup feature is great storage space wise but when we need to clone allot
of VMs it just takes allot of time.

Is there a way (or a planned way) to clone a file
but it suggests that it had nothing to do with a double slash - rather
some process (your shell?) had an open file within the mountpoint. But
supplying -f you forced zfs to unmount it anyway.

Ben,
never trust a benchmark, you haven't faked yourself!
There are many benchmarks out there, but the question is, how relevant are
they for your usage pattern. How important are single stream benchmarks, when
you are opening and closing 1000s of files per second or if you run a DB on

The .zfs/snapshot directory is most certainly available over NFS.
I'm not sure you've been following this thread. Nobody said
f I could mount unlimited NFS mounts on ESX it would be good for me, but
there is a 64 nfs datastore limit.
Right now if I copy a big file it can take several minutes. I already tried
having one VM per zfs file system, and snapshot clone works great, as long
as I stay below 64 NFS mounts.

Hi Justin,
Maybe I misunderstand your question...
When you export a pool, it becomes available for import by using
the zpool import command. For example:
1. Export tank:
# zpool export tank
2. What pools are available for import:
# zpool import
pool: tank

Hi all,
I would like to add a new partition to my ZFS pool but it looks like it's more
stricky than expected.
The layout of my disk is the following:
- first partition for Windows. I want to keep it. (no formatting !)
- second partition for OpenSolaris.This is where I have all the Solaris slices

Easy to find every time, easy to remember.
It still has the issue that the end user has to know where the root of
