data if the (cryptographically secure) checksum of new data

matches the checksum of existing data. It also saves space if

snapshots are in use. This improvement only works on

datasets with enabled compression, disabled deduplication and

sha256 checksums. ZFS will now compare the checksums of incoming writes to
|
||||
the checksum of the existing on-disk data and avoid issuing any
|
||||
write I/O for data that has not changed. This will reduce I/O
|
||||
as well as space usage because if the old block is referenced
|
||||
by a snapshot, both copies of the block are kept even though
|
||||
both contain the same data.</p></div></div></div><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="userland"></a>2.3.

Illumos was imported into FreeBSD. To reduce I/O, nop-write

skips overwriting data if the (cryptographically secure)

checksum of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
|
||||
It also saves space if snapshots are in use. This

improvement only works on datasets with enabled compression,
|

disabled deduplication and sha256 checksums. ZFS will now
|
||||
compare the checksums of incoming writes to the checksum of
|
||||
the existing on-disk data and avoid issuing any write I/O
|
||||
for data that has not changed. This will reduce I/O as well
|
||||
as space usage because if the old block is referenced by
|
||||
a snapshot, both copies of the block are kept even though
|
||||
both contain the same data.</p></div></div></div><div class="sect2"><div xmlns="" class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a id="userland"></a>2.3.
