[zfs-discuss] resilver in progress - which disk is inconsistent?

2008-08-08 Thread Justin Vassallo
Hi, I've got a 'resilver in progress'. Since resilvering is slowing my pool down incredibly (db queries taking 20 times longer than normal), I want to pause the resilvering. AFAIK there is no way to tell resilvering to pause, so I want to detach the inconsistent disk and attach it again
