Relating to my request for robustness feedback of the other driver, I was
referring in fact to the mpt_sas driver that James says is used for the

to the RAID-capable AOC-USAS2-L8i & LSI SAS 9211-8i cards,

Those aren't sorry for any misunderstanding. They are from the LSI site -

We're having to split data to multiple pools if we enable dedup, 1+ TB pools
each (one 6x750gb is particularly bad).
The timeouts cause COMSTAR / iSCSI to fail, Windows clients are dropping the
persistent targets due to timeouts (> 15 seconds it seems). This is causing
bigger problems.

Another approach is to make a new virtual disk and attach it as a mirror.
Once the silver is complete, detach and destroy the old virtual disk.
Normal procedures for bootable disks still apply.
This works because ZFS only silvers data.

Hi John,
You might check with the virtualguru, Rudolf Kutina.
I haven't had a chance to test this, but he had documented a
way to shrink a pool in VBox, described here:

Younes,
Including your zpool list output for tank would be helpful because zfs
list includes the AVAILABLE pool space. Determining volume space is a
bit trickier because volume size is set at creation time but the
allocated size might not be consumed.

I have 4 of the HD154UI Samsung Ecogreens, and was able to set the error

a powercycle.
I too would like to thank you for your blog. It provided a lot guidance for me
in setting up OS and ZFS for my home NAS.

Sure. Just copy the data out of the directory, do a zfs destroy on the
two filesystems, and copy it back.
For example:
