This could be done automatically after the following projects are integrated: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6475340 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6606879 Larry > The following documentation was found but without any real success: > -- > http://www.sun.com/emrkt/campaign_docs/expertexchange/knowledge/solaris_zfs_perf.html > Q: Are ZFS file systems shrinkable?
