What version of Solaris are you running there? For a long while the default response on encountering unrecoverable errors was to panic, but I believe that has been improved in newer builds.
Also, part of your problem may be down to running with just a single disk. With just one disk, ZFS still uses checksumming to see if data is corrupted, but when it finds a bad checksum, it has no way to correct the data. On a cluster I would always use some kind of redundancy within ZFS, regardless of your underlying storage hardware. Having said that though, I still wouldn't have thought it would be easy to get ZFS to hang like that. How did you crash the first node? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
