====================================
Hello,
I've looked quickly through the archives and haven't found mention of
this issue. I'm running SXCE (snv_99), which uses zfs version 13. I
had an existing zpool:
------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ zpool status -v data
pool: data
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
data ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t1d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t9d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
...
cache
c4t15d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
------------------------------
The cache device (c4t15d0p0) is an Intel SSD. To test zil, I removed
the cache device, and added it as a log device:
----------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pfexec zpool remove data c4t15d0p0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pfexec zpool add data log c4t15d0p0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ zpool status -v data
pool: data
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
data ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t1d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t9d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
...
logs ONLINE 0 0 0
c4t15d0p0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
----------------------------------
The device is working fine. I then said, that was fun, time to remove
and add as cache device. But that doesn't seem possible:
----------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pfexec zpool remove data c4t15d0p0
cannot remove c4t15d0p0: only inactive hot spares or cache devices can
be removed
----------------------------------
I've also tried using detach, offline, each failing in other more
obvious ways. The manpage does say that those devices should be
removable/replaceable. At this point the only way to reclaim my SSD
device is to destroy the zpool.
Just in-case you are wondering about versions:
----------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ zpool upgrade data
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 13.
Pool 'data' is already formatted using the current version.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_99 i86pc i386 i86pc
----------------------------------
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ethan
