Thread: [ZFS] How files are stored into a ZFS filesystem ?

  1. [ZFS] How files are stored into a ZFS filesystem ?

    I am looking for a comprehensive description of how files are stored
    into a ZFS filesytem.

    I understand that it's quit different than UFS's inodes and blocks
    pointers but i failed to find any comprehensive explaination of the
    methode use with ZFS.

    All info i got from web was about structures description of ZFS FS but
    not about the way files are stored.

    Any hints ?

    Thanks for your help.

    ZFS is log-structured. I believe.

    No; while it has a log to give proper "after sync/NFS commit" semantics,
    it is not log structures.

    There's an ueberblock (or actually 128) and the rest hangs of off that.
