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 ?
