[zfs-discuss] ZFS recovery tools

2010-06-02 Thread Sigbjorn Lie

Is the pool mounted? I ran into this problem frequently, until I set mountpoint to legacy. It may be that I had to destroy the filesystem afterwards, but since I stopped mounting the backup target everything runs smoothly. Nevertheless I agree it would be nice to find the root cause for this. --

Recently I talked to a co-worker who manages NetApp storages. We discussed size changes for pools in zfs and aggregates in NetApp. And some time before I had suggested to a my buddy zfs for his new home storage server, but he turned it down since there is no expansion available for a pool.
