zpool list show nonsense on raidz pools, at least it looks like it for me
Hi,
It's not my first letter where I fail to understand the space usage from
zfs utilities, and in previous ones I was kind of convinced that I just
read it wrong, but not this time I guess. See for yourself:
[emz at san01:~]> zpool list data
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
data 17,4T 7,72T 9,66T - 46% 44% 1.00x ONLINE -
Here' as I understand it, zpool says that less than a half of the pool
is used. As far as I know this is very complicated when it comes to the
radiz pools. Let's see:
[emz at san01:~]> zfs list -t all data
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
data 13,3T 186G 27,2K /data
So, if we won't investigate further, it looks like that only 186G is
free. Spoiling - this is the real free space amount, because I've just
managed to free 160 gigs of data, and I really know I was short on space
when sending 30 Gb dataset, because zfs was saying "Not enough free
space". So, let's investigate further:
[emz at san01:~]> zfs list -t all | more

This are getting really complicated now.
What I don't understand is:
- why the amount of free space changes from dataset to dataset ? I mean
they all share the same free space pool, all have the same
refreservation=none, but the AVAIL differs. When it comes to workerX
datasets, it differs slightly, but when it comes to the large zvols,
like esx/shared or reference, it differs a lot !
- why the esx/shared and reference datasets are shown like they can be
enlarged ? I mean, I really don't have THAT much of free space.
Here are their properties:

Could please someone explain why they show as having like half of the
total pool space as AVAIL ? I thing this is directly related to the fact
that zpool list shows only 44% of the total pool space is used. And I
use this value to monitor the pool space usage, looks like I'm totally
failing with this.
I also don't understand whe the zvol of the size 3.97T really uses 6.74T
of the space. I found an article, explaing that the volblocksize and the
sector size has to do something with this, and this happens when the
device block size is 4k, and volblocksize is default, thus 8k. Mine
disks sector size is 512 native, so this is really not the case. I'm
also having equal number of disks in vdevs, and they are 5:

So I guess poor vdev alignment is also not the case. I used to resize
the zvol a couple of times, and I suspect this is the main reason,
because I've read in another article that this is probably the case when
"poor alignment" happens.
I will really appreciate if someone will explain this.
Thanks.

zpool list show nonsense on raidz pools, at least it looks like it for me
