Purpose

The purpose of this document is to advise about free space reservation as we configure LUNs. We need to allow enough space for metadata so that the pool on the ZFS Storage Appliance will not fill up before the LUN fills up.

Scope

There is a bug on the appliance which does not allow ZFSSA to calculate the right refreservation value for LUNs.
