If ZFS is smart enough to allocate space 'near' other parts of the related files/directories/inodes it will have to do worse when there aren't any good choices and it has to fragment things into the only remaining spaces and make the disk heads seek all over the place. Might not be a big problem on SSD's though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
