Dear All,
I have been advised to enquire here on zfs-discuss with the
ZFS problem described below, following discussion on Usenet NG
comp.unix.solaris. The full thread should be available here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.unix.solaris/uEQzz1t-G1s
Many thanks
Tom Crane

: Hi Tom,
Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the followup
: I think SunOS server5 5.10 Generic_147441-15 is the Solaris 10 8/11
: release. Is this correct?
I think so,...
root@server5:/# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86

Assembled 27 October 2008
: We looked at your truss output briefly and it looks like it is hanging
: trying to allocate memory. At least, that's what the "br ...." statements
: are at the end.
: I will see if I can find out what diagnostic info would be help in
: this case.
Thanks. That would be much appreciated.
: You might get a faster response on zfs-discuss as John suggested.
I will CC to zfs-discuss.
Best regards
Tom.
: Thanks,
