thanks! by cross-mounting do you mean mounting the drives on 2 running OS's? that wasn't really what i was looking for but nice to know the option is there, even tho not recommended!
my only real aim was to have the 3 disks accessible when booting into either OS so i could share archived data between them. the solaris instance is only for testing so i haven't got any real user data in there, it's just for messing around in and trying out things on a real box before applying in production. the opensolaris instance is what i am developing in and for archiving, backups etc so would have this running most of the time. it sounds like i shouldn't have any problem cold-cross-mounting :) although does bug 11358 only apply to opensolaris or would it also be possible to apply to solaris 10 too? also i thought i read in the doco that ZFS assigns an id to each drive which is unique to the OS - if i try to mount it into another OS would this id keep changing each time i switch? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
