If I have a zpool of size N GB, and I want to create a zfs volume in that pool,what is the formula that I should use for the maximum guaranteed size of the zfs volume
based on the size of the zpool?
Several years ago I had a 136 GB zpool, and created a 133 GB zfs volume
for use as a device for SAM-FS. At some point my SAM-FS filesystem failed
on a write because the zfs did not really hae 133 GB of "usable space" in the volume.
On Sun's recommendation I reduced the size of the volume to 120 GB, but I don't
