Given that ZFS is always consistent on-disk, why would you lose a pool if you lose the ZIL and/or cache file? Theoretically shouldn't you lose, at most, the last few transactions? With recent updates to ZFS you can do a forced import giving "informed consent" to go back to a previous uber-block. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
