[zfs-discuss] experiences with zpool errors and glm flipouts

Tonight I've been moving some of my personal data around on my desktop system and have hit some on-disk corruption. As you may know, I'm cursed, and so this had a high probability of ending badly. I have two SCSI disks and use live upgrade, and I have a partition, /aux0, where I tend to keep

Sounds familiar. Yes it is a small system a Sun blade 100 with 128MB of memory. I guess I need to install more memory in this baby. I just very surprised that ZFS will required so much to accomplish just a simple task as a copy. From your experience I can tell might be a memory related issue.

To have user quota with ZFS you have to have a file system per user. However this leads to a very large number of file systems on a large server. I understand there is work already in hand to make sharing a large number of file systems faster, however even mounting a large number of file
