Thanks, Herbert, but the files aren't sitting on ZFS. I wasn't as clear
as I should be. ZFS is the underlying file store on the SAN but it
exporting block devices to VServer which are formatted as ext3 - sort of
like a block image file in KVM. All the vservers are sitting in the

ZFS would come into play but, as I said, I know little of the internals
