So... I posted before about the widly different sizes reported by zfs list
and du -h for my ports repository. Nobody explained this to any satisfying
degree.
I now have another quandry. I have ZFS on my laptop (two drives, mirrored)
and I "zfs send" backups to my big array (6 drives, raid-Z1). The problem
is that they don't match up:
On the 6 drive array:
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080307-1541 746M - 4.82G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080309-1443 221M - 4.79G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080319-1722 334M - 4.97G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080329-0041 27.8M - 5.24G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080402-2300 21.9M - 5.27G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080416-0223 18.5M - 5.29G -
vr2/backup/canoe/64/usr at 20080417-0117 18.6M - 5.29G -
On the 2 drive laptop:
canoe/64/usr at 20080307-1541 738M - 4.76G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080309-1443 217M - 4.73G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080319-1722 330M - 4.90G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080329-0041 26.7M - 5.17G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080402-2300 20.6M - 5.20G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080416-0223 17.5M - 5.22G -
canoe/64/usr at 20080417-0117 17.5M - 5.22G -
... note that the snapshot sizes differ by many megabytes ... and not
seemingly any fixed amount, either.
