Interesting answer, thanks :) I'd like to dig a little deeper if you don't mind, just to further my own understanding (which is usually rudimentary compared to a lot of the guys on here). My belief is that ZFS stores two copies of the metadata for any block, so corrupt metadata really shouldn't happen often.
Could I ask what the structure of your pool is, what level of redundancy do you have there. The very fact that you had a 'corrupt metadata' error implies to me that the checksums have done their job in finding an error, and I'm wondering if the true cause could be further down the line. I'm still taking all this in though - we'll be using sha256 on our secondary system, just in case :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
