Thinking about this more... if you write local logs to an NFS server, then it should be mounted as hard, which means that when the NFS is down, and pending writes to the logs are patiently waiting for the server to return. This dependency is not generally what you want for failure-logging, which is, in part, why the syslog protocols use UDP. I would strongly suggest using syslog as it was intended to be used. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
