As I said, we are testing ZFS as a [b]replacement for VxVM[/b], which we are
using atm. So as a result our tests have failed and we have to keep on using
Veritas.
Thanks for all your answers.
I think I get the whole picture, let me summarise:
- you create a pool P and an FS on host A
- Host A crashes
- you import P on host B; this only works with -f, as "zpool import" otherwise
refuses to do so.
- now P is imported on B
- host A comes back up and re-accesses P, thereby leading to (potential)
corruption.
- your hope was that when host A comes back, there exists a mechanism for
telling it "you need to re-import".
- Vxvm, as you currently use it, has this functionality
Is that correct?
