>Your comment elsewhere about NetApp solving all known problems with WAFL. Hahahaha.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't say NetApp solved "all known problems with WAFL" - but critical reading would've required you to respond to the content of the post, not provide an inaccurate summary to make a point that wasn't there.

What I DID say is that NetApp solved the issue of spewing random small writes all over the disk, resulting in horrendous performance on subsequent reads from spinning disk.sace reclamation takes a while. What's your point, assuming you had one? Because deleting a 5TB file on a filesystem 95% full with lots of snapshots is a daily workflow for... nobody? And if it is: there are countless ways to avoid that situation, but I assume you knew that too?
