Still puzzled by the output of zfs list. In particular the REFER header. NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT [...] p1/vb 1.54T 556G 26.9G /vb p1/vb/vm 738G 556G 323G /vb/vm
Why the massive difference between USED and REFER and what does REFER actually mean? Googling this finds massive info about zfs and probably a snippet in there somewhere will explain it, but finding it is not so easy. With google's dumbed down search capabiility using quotes around REFER or the like doesn't seem to pare the field. A google seach like [ understanding "zfs list output" ] without the brackets (used here to indicate the string used), but with quotes as shown, two of the first hits are all about snapshots instead of explaining the basic meaning of the headline colums. Even adding `-snapshot' to try to cut to the chase seems only to produce plenty of discussion about zfs and zfs list but so far I find no simple and succinct exposition of what the heads mean. man zfs has one occurrence of `REFER' and it is not about its meaning. Searching "man zfs" on `list output' gets no hits at all. Such a strait forward question must have a full answer somewhere. Can anyone help me find it? _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
