Most databases have the ability to recover from unscheduled interruptions without causing corruption. ZFS works in the same way -- you will recover to a stable point in time. In-flight transactions will not be completed, as expected. Upon restart, ZFS recovery will happen first, followed by the database recovery. > PS: I am aware of UPS’s and smilar technologies but customer is still > asking those if ... questions ... > UPS's fail, too. When we design highly available services, we will expect that unscheduled interruptions will occur -- that is the only way to design effective solutions. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
