Actually that isn't correct. Its the history of the pool - not since the last import. It even records the fact that you destroyed the pool :) : fsh-sole# zpool history History for 'd': 2008-03-21.15:28:29 zpool create d c0d0 2008-03-21.15:28:32 zpool export d 2008-03-21.15:28:35 zpool import d 2008-03-21.15:28:38 zpool destroy d 2008-03-21.15:28:44 zpool import -D d fsh-sole# I was curious what non-admin induced changes to the pool that Torrey was thinking about. If its important to remember then we can add internal events to track them. eric > > David > > On Fri, 2008-03-21 at 13:10 -0700, eric kustarz wrote: >>> Also history only tells me what someone typed.
