Heh, yes, I assumed similar things Russel. I also assumed that a faulty disk in a raid-z set wouldn't hang my entire pool indefinitely, that hot plugging a drive wouldn't reboot Solaris, and that my pool would continue working after I disconnected one half of an iscsi mirror.
I also like yourself assumed that if ZFS is using copy on write, then even after a really nasty crash, the vast majority of my data would be accessible. And I also believed that when I had disconnected every drive from a ZFS pool, that ZFS wouldn't accept writes to it any more... Unfortunately, all of these assumptions turned out to be false. Learning ZFS has been a painful experience. I still like it, but I am very aware of its limitations, and am cautious how I apply it these days. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
