The behavior you've described is typical for having a device simply disappear from a zpool. For example, if you have a zpool on a single external disk, and you accidentally disconnect the external disk ... *poof* you need to power cycle. If you're using all raidz, or mirrored, or redundant drives ... then it's typical behavior for a failing or flaky disk controller. Even if your system is not using external disks, you better consider the possibility that you've got some flaky or buggy hardware. I'll suggest doing a "zfs send" to /dev/null. And run a scrub. And see if the system simply dies because of doing large sustained IO. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
