What he said.  and the earlier you figure this out, the better.

This hurts even more for offsite reclamation, he said, aching and
aching.  Back up the "big chunks" stgpool to it's own distinct offsite
stgpool, so you minimize moving a 345G file because the tail of it is
on a 20G "volume" which has suddenly become reclaimable.
