I think I have ran into this bug, 6560174, with a firewire drive. Running build 64a, formatted entire external firewire drive as a zpool. Worked fine with smaller zfs send operations. Tried zfs send on a 10GB filesystem and it seemed to hang (though there is no notice of progress with zfs send). Let it run overnight and still nothing (firewire 400). Both 'ls' into the drive and 'format' froze. The system would not reboot nicely either.
Rebooting with the drive not plugged in I get the error that a zpool cannot be found. Zpool status -x suggests that I can reattach the drive and run 'zpool online <device> <drive>', but that states that the pool is not available. Booting with the drive plugged in I get the 'transport rejected fatal error' message and the system stops booting. Is there a way to reformat and try to use this drive again? Can I recover from this and use the information on the drive? Are firewire drives not a good idea for backup/recover using ZFS? thanks, This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
