Thanks, Trevor. I understand the RFE/CR distinction. What I don't understand is how this is not a bug that should be fixed in all solaris versions.
In a former life, I worked at Sun to identify things like this that affect availability and lobbied to get them fixed. There are opposing forces at work: the functionality is correct as designed versus availability folks think it should go faster. It is difficult to build the case that code changes should be made for availability when other workarounds exist. It will be more fruitful for you to examine the implementation and see if there is a better way to improve the efficiencies of your snapshot processes. For example, the case can be made for a secondary data store containing long-term snapshots which can allow you to further optimize the primary data store for
performance and availability. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
