• zpool mirror resilvering: always all or sometimes incremental?

    From Winston@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 4 22:47:32 2024
    Suppose one has a ZFS/zpool mirror.
    One of the duplicates is detached from the mirror.
    At a later time, it's re-attached to the same mirror, causing
    re-silvering. Assume much of the content in the pool hasn't
    changed between the detach and attach times.

    Will re-silvering do some sort of incremental update, or always
    copy everything?

    Is the answer different for offline/online?

    Just curious. Thanks,
    -WBE
