That means = that, if encryption is set to anything but "off", watermarking attacks = will still be possible based on the size and sparsity of a file. = Because I believe that with any encryption mode, ZFS turns continuous = runs of zeros into holes. And I don't see anything in zio_crypt.c that = addresses that. I=E2=80=99m not sure about that. However, with compression=3Doff, dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dbigfile bs=3D1m count=3D1024 results in a file that is 1565148 blocks (of 128k bytes), which supports = your statement. With compression=3Don, it creates a 1 block file. Sean.
