University of Toronto ☛ ZFS's transactional guarantees from a user perspective
ZFS has two levels of transactional behavior. The basic layer is what happens when you don't use fsync() (or the filesystem is ignoring it). At this level, all changes to a ZFS filesystem are strongly ordered by the time they happened. ZFS may lose some activity at the end, but if you did operation A before operation B and there is a crash, the possible options of what is there afterward is nothing, A, or A and B; you can never have B without A. This strictly time ordered view of filesystem changes is periodically flushed to disk by ZFS; in modern ZFS, such a flush is typically started every five seconds (although completing a flush can take some time). This is generally called a transaction group (txg) commit.
