All of that may be true, but it doesn't change the fact that Solaris' observed begaviour under these conditions is _abysmally_ bad, and for no good reason. It might not be a high priority to fix, but it would be nice if one of the Sun folks would at least acknowledge that something is terribly wrong here, rather than claiming it's not a problem. -- Carson _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
