Gents, We want to understand the mechanism of zfs a bit better. Q: what is the design/algorithm of zfs in terms of reclaiming unused blocks? Q: what criteria is there for zfs to start reclaiming blocks Issue at hand is an LDOM or zone running in a virtual (thin-provisioned) disk on a NFS server and a zpool inside that vdisk. This vdisk tends to grow in size even if the user writes and deletes a file again. Question is, whether this reclaiming of unused blocks can kick in earlier, so that the filesystem doesn't grow much more than what is actually allocated? Thanks, heinz --
