The bug is that, if importing on another system is a common administrative operation, it should not require you to disable *all* checking. I'd rather prefer specific support for that, e.g. "import -F expectedhostname" to import a zpool on a different host from expectedhostname --- now you have sanity checking for a potentially dangerous operation as well as not turning off *all* error/sanity checking. Sadly, this seems to not have occurred to either Sun or Oracle, despite having documented it. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
