zfs snapshots taking huge space, but zfs list -t snaphot says otherwise...

Hello,

I have a quite strange problem since a bit time with a FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 (r11950) setup.
I have about 124Go of files in a storage pool called prod, which has one subvolume called prod/admin.
I make periodic snapshots of both pools which i keeep 45 days, the average delta of snapshots is about 20~30MB. Snapshots are set to be non-recursive.

Everything is stored on a RAIDZ array of 2To disks, so there should be plenty of space, but zfs claims that 1.24To is already used shouldn't be correct, but ineed is what happens.

Here's my additionnal info i can provide:

Code:
# zfs get all prod | grep used
prod  used                  1.24T                  -
prod  usedbysnapshots       1.12T                  -
prod  usedbydataset         124G                   -
prod  usedbychildren        2.49G                  -
prod  usedbyrefreservation  0                      -


When i list all my snapshots and add every single byte, i do not get any value approaching "usedbysnapshots" value. Here's how i proceeded:
Code:
# zfs get -pH used | grep prod@ | cut -f3 > /tmp/snapusedbytes
# awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}' /tmp/snapusedbytes
5511597056


5511597056 / 1024^3 = 5,13GB... We're far from 1.12T used by snapshots
Even when counting the snapshots of the pools children (replacing grep prod@ by grep @ in the code) gives me not more than 5748693504 bytes.

Now the strange thing is that zfs get used says that this pool really takes 1.24To... but not the snapshots.
Code:
# zfs get -pH used | head
prod    used    1365649612800   -
prod@auto-20120730.0600-45d     used    21562368        -
prod@auto-20120730.1000-45d     used    10911232        -
prod@auto-20120730.1400-45d     used    28395520        -
prod@auto-20120730.1800-45d     used    7174144 -
prod@auto-20120731.0844-45d     used    4149698560      -
prod@auto-20120731.1244-45d     used    9136128 -
prod@auto-20120731.1644-45d     used    3654144 -
prod@auto-20120801.0600-45d     used    19076608        -
prod@auto-20120801.1000-45d     used    9630208 -


When i try to check with standard bsd tools, i endup with normal disk usage
Code:
# zfs get mountpoint prod
NAME  PROPERTY    VALUE       SOURCE
prod  mountpoint  /mnt/prod   default

# du -h -d1 /mnt/prod
1.5G    /mnt/prod/admin
1.5K    /mnt/prod/.freenas
 87G    /mnt/prod/IPN
 27G    /mnt/prod/SARL
 59M    /mnt/prod/SCI
217M    /mnt/prod/indus
9.4G    /mnt/prod/archives
125G    /mnt/prod


I do not really know where to search anymore... When i remove a snapshot which zfs claims uses about 30Mo, disk frees space up to 10-20Go.
I would be really happy if someone could give me a clue... Even a little.
I'm willing to do some tests, even upload config db (after having removed password and sensible info).

Thanks.

PS: i used zfs get -pH used instead of zfs list -t snapshot because numbers are given in parsable format, but the latter commands lists the same sizes in K, M & G.

I actually did read this (fine) manuel again, and don't think i missed something.
I ran out of space on this server a month ago, having 0 free octets as showed by zfs and df.
Deleting one and only snapshot releases a lot more space than actually used by the snapshot, a couple of GB.

I have another server (at my home) running also FN-8.2.0 x64 with a quite similar setup, but a normal behavior with disk usage so i guess interpret the results the right way.
Also, i run two linux servers with zfsonlinux, and (a lot) of snapshots, normal behavior.

But anyway, thanks for the clue, everything is welcome :)

I did read both articles... The script provided by the latter one doesn't work, as the property written@snapshot does not work (because of zfs v15 ?)

[EDIT]Yes the written@ property exists on zfs v28, but not on v15 (i did upgade my home server to FN 8.3.0 and did a zpool upgrade which made and the written property now exists). But i certainly will not update the production server i have trouble with to a beta version...
[/EDIT]

I think i'm in the same case as http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2012-August/052175.html you stated, but as that guy i cannot find an answer.
Anyway, it doesn't fit with any logical thinking i have.

The output of the command you suggested does the same i used:

Code:
[root@fileserver] ~# zfs list -ro space -t all prod

[root@fileserver] ~#


Please, can anyone having a good zfs knowledge tell me what happens ?
I understand that the snapshots do take more space than the USED property shoes, but the files on this server stay quite static, and i'm pretty sure the snapshots shouldn't take 100x times more space than showed.

Help... will pay beer or coffee... :)

I think i'm in the same case as http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2012-August/052175.html you stated, but as that guy i cannot find an answer.
I refer you once again to [zfs-discuss] Missing disk space as that guy was.

I understand that the snapshots do take more space than the USED property shoes, but the files on this server stay quite static, and i'm pretty sure the snapshots shouldn't take 100x times more space than showed.
Reality seems to disagree with you. The way forward seems the same in either case; start deleting snapshots.

Even if you try to calculate the referenced space + displayed used space and compare against the active filesystem that doesn't really tell you much because the data on the active filesystem might not be as static as you want.

Thanks.
Well the latter article is clearer... but does not explain that snapshots take 100x times the space they should.
After hours of comparaison with my other FreeNAS servers on which snapshots take up to 2x the space announced, i found the problem...

It's a "stupid by design" bug i introduced.
Every beginning of month, a cron task creates .tar.gz files of that servers files, that someone later transfers to the archives.
The stupid part comes from the cron task which was supposed to run monthly, but actually ran daily.

As even a little modification of some files create a different compressed file than the earlier one, i ended up with huge different files (non static files) everyday.
This should fully explain my problem.

Thank you for your patience paleoN. My offer for a beer/coffee still applies :)

zfs send -nvR rootpool/export/home at today
to be written:
zfs send -nvR rootpool/export/home@today

where today is a snapshot name
