--- Comment #3 from Alexander Motin <mav@FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't think anything can get out of this bug report.  As was written years
before this is just how ZFS works.  It does not know how much space file uses
until transaction group is committed, that might take several seconds.  People
who need the information sooner can use `zpool sync` to trigger and wait for
its completion.  But it can not be done routinely for every `du` call, since it
will be too expensive for unprivileged user to do without reason.
