I can't remember where I learned it but I know what they mean. I think all if from the zfs man page.
Refer is short for Blocks referenced. It shows the size of the Filesystem table at that the Snapshot or Dataset References. Even if the Blocks on disk are not related to that snapshot. Usefull when restoring a clone via rsync from a snapshot for a testing database for example. So you know how much space the clone will consume. Used refers to the Blocks the Snapshot or Dataset uses on Disk. It is what is really eating your diskspace if you run out of it. Greetings Till On 25.12.19 17:58, Harry Putnam wrote: > "Richard L.
