My understanding of the root cause of these issues is that the vast majority
are happening with consumer grade hardware that is reporting to ZFS that writes
have succeeded, when in fact they are still in the cache.
When that happens, ZFS believes the data is safely written, but a power cut or

Does the export need to be called just before I import the pool to
another server, or can the export be called at the time the pool is
created? because in a fail over I wouldn't be able to export the
pool before importing it.
Thanks,

Yes that is correct.
or can the export be called at the time the pool is
created?
no. It must be done on the server that is exporting the pool so that it
can be imported as Daniel

Another thing to remember is the expansion slots. You mentioned putting
in a SATA controller for more drives, You'll want to make sure the board
has a slot that can handle the card you want. If you're not using
graphics then any board with a single PCI-E x16 slot should handle
anything. But if you

thus the need for this mechanism. We are

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the the reply. I will check your recommendation when I get a chance.
However this happens on any zfs that have hierarchical zfs filesystems. I
noticed it started this problem since snv_114. This same filesystem structure
last worked fine with snv_110.

Regarding the SATA card and the mainboard slots, make sure that
whatever you get is compatible with the OS. In my case I chose
OpenSolaris which lacks support for Promise SATA cards. As a result,
my choices were very limited since I had chosen a Chenbro ES34069 case

Some more info - the system won't shutdown, issuing shutdown -g0 -i5 just sits
there doing nothing.
Then i tried to find locks on the savecore i took, - mdb crashes:
