Operating Systems Solaris Need help to understand zfs rpool space allocation Post 302969378 by jlliagre on Tuesday 22nd of March 2016 06:39:31 AM

Just have a look to the column labeled "REFER" in "zfs list" output. It shows for each dataset the actual size occupied by that dataset.

Out of a 100 GB pool, 32 GB is taken by the swap area, 15 GB by the dump area, 11.5 by the root file system, 4.61 Gb by a user's file system, 2 GB by /var, 1.39 GB by /var/share. All remaining datasets are much smaller. The sum of all REFER values is 70 GB which match the 29 GB available you got with "df".

I would recommend being careful with reducing the swap size unless you really know how much swap your system might need in the future. Relocating the swap elsewhere, as already suggested by Peasant, would on the other hand be a good idea and the simplest way to recover 32 GB of disk space in your root pool. You might also relocate your 15 GB dump area elsewhere but there are more constraints about the receiving pool.
