About 2 yrs ago, I replaced a drive with 1 block less, and it was a big problem. This was a drive bought from oracle, to replace an oracle drive, on a supported sun system, and it was the same model drive, with a higher firmware rev. We worked on it extensively, eventually managed to shoe-horn the drive in there, and I pledged I would always partition drives slightly smaller from now on. Then, about 2 weeks later, the support rep emailed me to say they implemented a new feature, which could autoresize +/- some small percentage difference, like 1Mb difference or something like that. So there is some solid reason to corroborate Freddie's suspicion, but there's no way I'm going to find any material to reference now. The timing even sounds about right to support the v20 idea. I haven't tested or proven it myself, but I am confidently assuming moving forward, that small variations will be handled gracefully. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
