Yeah, but I already have 2 of the replacement disks, both doing the same thing. One has a firmware newer than my old disk (so originally I thought that was the cause, and requested another replacement disk). But then we got a replacement disk which is identical in every way to the failed disk ... but it still appears smaller for some reason. So this happened on my SSD. What's to prevent it from happening on one of the spindle disks in the future? Nothing that I know of ... So far, the idea of slicing seems to be the only preventive or corrective measure. Hence, wondering what pros/cons people would describe, beyond what I've already thought up myself. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
