Filesystem COW support

Subject:

ZFS and Ceph filesystems use Copy on Write(COW)

 

Details:

ZFS is an option when creating a Storage Pool on QuantaStor deployments.
The QuantaStor Scale-out Block feature uses a different filesystem solution based on Ceph.


Both the ZFS and Ceph filesystems use `Copy on Write` to support instant snapshotting and replication features.
