For future generations of google searchers - I solved my problem by backing up and deleting my source fat32 filesystem. Once the filesystem was rebuilt as NTFS, the rsync 2.6.9 error in the subject line went away. My SXCE b127 opensolaris boxes now happily rsync back and forth from ZFS and NTFS

Well, yes, to enable MPxIO. Which then requires a reboot. What about hot-swapping out a disk that was in a ZFS pool? Without rebooting? This was the answer I got early in November. Short version: It's fixed in SNV 126, but not in 10u8 -- which is what I cautioned against. http://mail.opensol

This is an interesting discussion. It appears that there is indeed some work to be done with manipulating spin up/down on subsections of an array, etc. However, in terms of cost/performance for small systems, it may be simpler to solve this with less programming and more hardware. The cost of a
