Could someone kindly provide some details on using a zvol in sparse-mode? Wouldn't the COW nature of zfs (assuming COW still applies on ZVOLS) quickly erode the sparse nature of the zvol?
Would sparse data-presentation only work by delegating a part of a zpool to a zone, but that's at the file-level, not raw?

How can I set up a ZVOL that's accessible by non-root users, too? The intent is to use sparse ZVOLs as raw disks in virtualization (reducing overhead compared to file-based virtual volumes).
