Hi,
I'm trying to do a simple data retention hack wherein I keep
hourly, daily, weekly and monthly zfs auto snapshots.
To save space,
I want the dailies to go away when the weekly is taken.

Right, put some small (30GB or something trivial) disks in for root and
then make a nice fast multi-spindle pool for your data. If your 320s
are around the same performance as your 500s, you could stripe and
mirror them all into a big pool. ZFS will waste the extra 180 on the
bigger disks

Thanks for putting this in a real world perspective, Martin. I'm faced with
this exact circumstance right now (see my post to the list from earlier today).
Our ZFS filers are highly utilised, highly trusted components at the core of
our enterprise and serve out OS images, mail storage,
the wrong decision on vendor/platform.
Anyway, looking forward to shrink. Thanks for the tips.
