Me, 4PM: "dang it, why is my incremental zfs send of /var/mysql sending the entire file instead of just the changes from yesterday???"
Me, now: "Oh. The contents of /var/mysql churn 99% between yesterday and today."
Anyway, I'm working hard on #openzfsmastery. I'd appreciate your support. https://mwl.io/sponsor

this is, of course, a great example for the book! And probably will be my example of snapshot redaction. When I fail to make words, it's because I'm gaining (ugh) experience. :flan_XD: :flan_piteous:

@mwl@io.mwl.io any particular reason to have /var/mysql, assuming that's the DB dir, on zfs?
