ZFS pool/filesystem space oddity
Date: Sun, 03 Mar 2024 11:58:59 UTC
Hi,
My NAS runs a ZFS pool called archive striped over two mirrored
pairs of 4TB drives. It all works fine but I had a space eater recently and
so have been paying closer attention to space reports than normal - which
is why I noticed the oddity that the filesystems in the pool are reported
as having more free space than the pool.
Why is this ? Which is right ?
From zpool iostat -v

pool alloc free read write read write

One of the filesystems in the archive pool:
