I've seen this error often, but mostly the volume is shared. I think it happens as soon ay the volume has snapshots. To check if the volume is exposed or not, you can run: iscsitadm list target -v If the volume shows up, it's OK and you should ignore the message. K -- This message posted

What is less clear is why windows write performance drops to zero. Perhaps the tweak for Nagel's Algorithm in Windows would be in order? http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/entry/x4500_solaris_zfs_iscsi_perfect -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

If you have snapshots of the root filesystem, you can recover the file. To check for snapshots run: zfs list - t all If you see something like rpool/ROOT/opensola...@x then you are lucky, you will find the original vfstab file in: /b/.zfs/snapshotname/etc/vfstab K -- This message

ECC theory tells, that you need a minimum distance of 3 to correct one error in a codeword, ergo neither RAID-5 or RAID-6 are enough: you need RAID-2 (which nobody uses today). What is RAID-2? Is it raidz2? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
