[zfs-discuss] Replacing log devices takes ages

2010-11-19 Thread Bryan Horstmann-Allen
Disclaimer: Solaris 10 U8. I had an SSD die this morning and am in the process of replacing the 1GB partition which was part of a log mirror. The SSDs do nothing else. The resilver has been running for ~30m, and suggests it will finish sometime before Elvis returns from Andromeda, though perhaps
