Thanks Magnus, I note your second response - I detached the ISO, and moved it to a removable disk just to be sure. But, as long as I know there is nothing I can do about this, then I won't worry about it, Mish. Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 08:27:13 -0400 From: Magnus To: Discussion list for OpenI

I have several(5) ZFS machines that have been built to serve out over NFS. Most are OpenSolaris snv_111b, but we have two that are oi_148. Between these we have ~ 200 volumes and 221000 snapshots (as of this writing). On all of the oi_148's it takes a really really long time to list the snapshots,
