Description
ZFS/SPL version 0.6.4 was release around April 8th, 2015.
It includes many changes and improvements:
New Functionality
Compatible with kernels up to Linux 4.0.
New feature flags (additional details below):
spacemap_histogram
extensible_dataset
bookmarks
enabled_txg
hole_birth
embedded_data
New asynchronous I/O (AIO) support.
New fallocate() FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE support.
New fragmentation metric in 'zpool list'.
New LZ4 compression of meta data.
New "redundant_metadata" property controls desired redundancy level.
New "overlay" property controls behavior for non-empty mount points.
New 'zpool list -v' shows individual disk capacity.
New 'zpool get -H' (scripted mode) support.
New 'zpool create -t' creates a pool with a temporary name.
New arc_summary.py script from FreeNAS.
New bash completion support.
New DTRACE_PROBES integrated with Linux tracepoints.
New compressed block histograms with zdb.
New verbatim pool imports with zdb.
New Feature Flags
spacemap_histogram
This features allows ZFS to maintain more information about how free space is organized within the pool. If this feature is enabled, ZFS will set this feature to active when a new space map object is created or an existing space map is upgraded to the new format.
extensible_dataset
This feature allows more flexible use of internal ZFS data structures, and exists for other features to depend on. This feature will be active when the first dependent feature uses it.
bookmarks
This feature enables use of the zfs bookmark subcommand. Bookmarks mark the point in time when a snapshot was created, they can be used as the incremental source for a zfs send command. All bookmarks in the pool can be listed by running zfs list -t bookmark -r poolname.
enabled_txg
Once this feature is enabled ZFS records the transaction group number in which new features are enabled. This has no user-visible impact, but other features may depend on this feature.
hole_birth
This feature improves performance of incremental sends ("zfs send -i") and receives for objects with many holes. The most common case of hole-filled objects is zvols.
embedded_data
This feature improves the performance and compression ratio of highly-compressible blocks. Blocks whose contents can compress to 112 bytes or smaller can take advantage of this feature.
