Ah :-) Btw, that bug note is a bit misleading - our usage case had nothing to do with ZFS Root filesystems - he was trying to install in a completely separate filesystem - a very large one. And yes, he found out that setting a quota was a good workaround :-) This message posted from opensol

This is tangential, but then arc review is all about feature interaction. 1) What happens if the hotplugged replacement device is too small? 2) What's the interaction between autoreplace and automatic vdev growth (when the underlying device gets bigger)? Since we can't yet shrink a pool, i'm won

The fix for CR 6491973 won't have much effect on boot time since it is more specific to the act of setting of the sharenfs property, but as Tom said, we are looking at anything that can reduce the times for sharing out large numbers of shares.The time to share is separate from the mount times si

Matt, Can't see anything wrong with that procedure. However, could the problem be that you're trying to mount on /home which is usually used by the automounter? e.g. $ grep home /etc/auto_master /home auto_home -nobrowse Maybe you need to deconfigure this from your automounte
