Hi Fred:

I do.  I have 3 pools.  system, ssd data pool(fc_ssd400G) and a spinning
disk pool(fc_8T).

I want to think the ssd_data_pool is empty at the moment and the system
pool is ssd and only contains metadata.
[root at cl005 ~]# mmdf home -P fc_ssd400G
disk                disk size  failure holds    holds              free KB
            free KB
name                    in KB    group metadata data        in full blocks
       in fragments

        83712 ( 0%)

More or less empty.

Interesting...
