lots of replies and no suggestion to try on FreeBSD. How about trying on one? I believe if it crashed on FreeBSD, the developers would be interested in helping to solve it. Try using the 9.0-beta1 since 8.2-release has some problems importing certain zpools. Asking Oracle for help without support contract would be like shouting in vacuum space... _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
