As other's have noted, no, not until the mythical bp_rewrite() function is introduced. So far I have found no documentation on bp_rewrite(), other than it is the solution to evacuating a vdev, restriping a vdev, defragmenting a vdev, solving world hunger and bringing peace to the Middle East. If you search the forums you will find all sorts of discussion around this evasive feature, but nothing concrete. I think it's hiding behind the unicorn located at the end of the rainbow. With Oracle withdrawing/inhousing/whatever development, it's a safe bet that bp_rewrite() now rests in the hands of the community, possibly to be born in Nexenta-land. Maybe it's time for me to quit whining, dust off my K&R book and get to work on the weekends coming up with an honest implementation plan. Anyone want to join a task force for getting bp_rewrite() implemented as a community effort? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
