There is no filesystem, in any OS, which is "safe to remove" at any time. Even when a filesystem is idle, let's take for example, NTFS on a USB thumb drive... The next time it's connected, the OS knows and recognizes that it was ejected unsafely. But since there wasn't any corruption caused, it just silently accepts the drive without complaining. I consider that a flaw in Windows. You should always safely eject any media, on any OS, before yanking it out. If you want to configure ZFS to be more "dumb" and "windows like," ... maybe it's possible somehow, but I doubt it. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
