[zfs-discuss] zpool remove problem

2008-01-11 Thread Wyllys Ingersoll

To me it seems it's a special case that has not been accounted for... While is seems zfs is checking the disks against the pool and handle them nicely using labels/meta-data, even if they are mounted on different controllers, the problem I've encountered has to do with that a specific
