Hi everyone,
Just wanted to tell you a little story. We've been enthusiastic puppet
users since about a year ago here at the Geographic Institute of the
University of Zürich.
But we won't use the zpool type ever again. Its just not worth it.
Here's what happened:
. one of our servers lost knowledge about one of its zfs pools
. puppet didn't find the pool and .. went on to zpool create it
. we did indeed have a backup, but would have lost all data if not
Creating zpools is a manual thing in every case, since one has to know
the devices participating. The names of which tend to be a little bit
different from one server to the next.
Add that to the possibility of major data loss (like we just
experienced) and get a negative yield for the 'zpool' type.
Hoping to inspire a few..
kaspar
