I still do not understand why,when I remove files on a ZFS disk using
commands like (rm and rm -r),the left space does not increase,but it
decreases. I would like to know what I can do to free some space if
removing files does not work. And I don't understand why a ZFS disk goes fast out of space. This does not happen with an UFS disk. From what
I've understood every snapshot created with the ZFS mechanisms contains
a full FreeBSD system. Am I right ? Do you confirm this ? If this is
true,ZFS is too much space consuming and it will explain why the space
will end very fast on the disk. That's not good for sure. Recently
I've found a Linux distro called "NixOS" which uses another method to
create snapshots. It is based on a large use of sim/soft and hard links
to backup different versions of the system libraries. This method is
useful when the system is upgraded. I would like to ask you if you
would like to see this kind of solution also on FreeBSD. I really want to see the zfs boot menu suggested by Anssi on FreeBSD ! I like it very much ! Do you think it is hard to implement it there ?
