ZFS won't automatically import a pool unless it is explicitly exported first via "zfs export", so it should be safe to do this, but it has to be done at the pool level, not the filesystem level. > bonus questions: any idea when hot spares will make it to S10? good question :) grant. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
