iSCSI and ZFS Thin Provisioning Sparse Volumes - constraints?

821968Jan 26 2011 — edited Jan 27 2011

Hello,

I am running an iSCSI target using COMSTAR.

I activated Time Slider (Snapshot feature) for all pools.

Now I want to set up an iSCSI target using thin provisioning, storing the data in a file system rather than a file.

Is there any official documentation about thin p.?

All I found was

Are there any problems to be expected about the snapshots?

How would I set up a 100 GByte iSCSI target with mentioned thin p.?

Thanks
