Hm. This is pretty old stuff, and what is irritating is that I had it all working under mpxio. Then I was told the system had to be reconfigured to use powerpath, and I've not seen my data since. (I follow the logic that it's the datacenter standard, although I'm no longer sure I agree with it based on my experience so far; nor does my own experience match the alleged technical superiority of powerpath over mpxio. Ho hum.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
