I've noticed space "go missing" on ZFS before, but not conclusively. This time it's happened on a brand new setup I'm doing some testing on. This is a clean install of 14.2. The machine rebooted (not sure why) while a large dataset was being received (zfs receive...). The dataset isn't there. There should be about 6Tb in the pool (depending on how you count a Tb). This is what I'm seeing as varying estimates of free space: root@zfs2:/home/fjl # zfs list -t all NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zr 30.6G 5.12T 140K /zr zr/ROOT 5.12G 5.12T 140K none zr/ROOT/default 5.12G 5.12T 5.12G / zr/data 140K 5.12T 140K /data zr/francis 23.3G 5.12T 23.3G /zr/francis zr/home 343K 5.12T 140K /home zr/home/fjl 203K 5.12T 203K /home/fjl zr/tmp 140K 5.12T 140K /tmp zr/usr 2.19G 5.12T 140K /usr zr/usr/ports 1.16G 5.12T 1.16G /usr/ports zr/usr/src 1.03G 5.12T 1.03G /usr/src zr/var 1.11M 5.12T 140K /var zr/var/audit 140K 5.12T 140K /var/audit zr/var/crash 140K 5.12T 140K /var/crash zr/var/log 401K 5.12T 401K /var/log zr/var/mail 180K 5.12T 180K /var/mail zr/var/tmp 140K 5.12T 140K /var/tmp root@zfs2:/home/fjl # zpool iostat capacity operations bandwidth pool alloc free read write read write ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- zr 42.8G 7.22T 7 8 417K 1.16M As this is a "clean" system I can't figure out where the discrepancy could possibly be coming from. This is beyond the slop value. Any ideas anyone? (Incidentally, I'm testing failure modes using some flaky hard drives I acquired on eBay - no errors logged prior to reboot). Thanks, Frank.
