It may be ZFS, or your block devices, > but something is broken Agreed - it shouldn't break just because you're using over 90% - checking on one of my systems here I have: " Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on vol 2567606528 2403849728 163756800 94% /vol " Been running like that for months without issue... Whilst it may not be 'ideal' to run it over 90% (I suspect it's worse for pools made up of different sized devices / redundancy) - it's not broken in any shape or form with gb's of reads/writes going to that file system. -Kp _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
