A rather interesting putback just happened... http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/cc5b64682e64 6803605 <http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6803605> should be able to offline log devices 6726045 <http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6726045>vdev_deflate_ratio is not set when offlining a log device 6599442 <http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6599442> zpool import has faults in the display I love comments that tell you what is really going on... 8.75 <http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/cc5b64682e64#l8.75> /* 8.76 <http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/cc5b64682e64#l8.76> * If this device has the only valid copy of some data, 8.77 <http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/cc5b64682e64#l8.77> - * don't allow it to be offlined. 8.78 <http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/cc5b64682e64#l8.78> + * don't allow it to be offlined.

However, at least 6833605 is available through sunsolve if you have a support contract. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
