+ <para revision="243524">The zio nop-write improvement from Illumos
+ was imported into &os;. To reduce I/O, nop-write skips overwriting
+ data if the checksum (cryptographically secure) of new data
+ matches the checksum of existing data. It also saves space if
+ snapshots are in use. This improvement only works only on
+ datasets with enabled compression, disabled deduplication and

<para>ZFS will now compare the checksums of incoming writes to
the checksum of the existing on-disk data and avoid issuing any
write I/O for data that has not changed. This will reduce I/O
