The current behavior depends on the implementation of the driver and support for hotplug events. When a drive is yanked, one of two things can happen:
- I/Os will fail, and any attempt to re-open the device will result in failure. - I/Os will fail, but the device can continued to be opened by its existing path. ZFS currently handles case #1 and will mark the device faulted, generating an FMA fault in the process. Future ZFS/FMA integration will address problem #2, and is on the short list of features to address. In the meantime, you can 'zpool offline' the bad device to prevent ZFS from trying to access it. That being said, the server should never hang - only proceed arbitrarily slowly. When you say 'hang', what does that mean? - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
