The uncertainty around OpenSolaris made me drop it. I'm very sorry to

though, so
If I create a ZFS mirrored zpool on FreeBSD (zfs v14) will I be able
to boot off an OpenSolaris-b131 CD and copy my data off (another) ZFS
mirror created by OpenSolaris (ZFS v22)? A simple question, but my data
is precious, so I ask beforehand. ;-)

I have 2 ZFS pools all using the same drive type and size. The question is
can I have 1 global hot spare for both of those pools?
Thanks

Yes. A hot spare disk can be added to more than one pool at the same time.

You would look for the device name that might be a problem, like this:
# fmdump -eV | grep c2t4d0
vdev_path = /dev/dsk/c2t4d0s0
vdev_path = /dev/dsk/c2t4d0s0
vdev_path = /dev/dsk/c2t4d0s0
vdev_path = /dev/dsk/c2t4d0s0
Then, review the file more closely for the details of these errors,
such as

Yes, as long as the pools are on the same system, you can share
a spare between two pools, but we are not recommending sharing
spares at this time.
We'll keep you posted.
Thanks,

Hi Brian,
Is the pool exported before the update/upgrade of PowerPath software?
This recommended practice might help the resulting devices to be more
coherent.
If the format utility sees the devices the same way as ZFS, then I don't
see how ZFS can rename the devices.
If the format utility
The ZFS best practices is here:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide
Run zpool scrub on a regular basis to identify data integrity problems.
If you have consumer-quality drives, consider a weekly scrubbing
schedule. If you have datacenter-quality drives,

Hi,
I am going through understanding the fundamentals of raidz. From the man pages,
a raidz configuration of P disks and N parity provides (P-N)*X storage space
where X is the size of the disk. For example, if I have 3 disks of 10G each and
I configure it with raidz1, I will have 20G of usable

Hi,
First, I don't understand why parity takes so much space. From what
I know about parity, there is typically one parity bit per

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your help. At least one part is clear now.
I still am confused about how the system is still functional after one disk
fails.
Consider my earlier example of 3 disks zpool configured for raidz-1. To keep it
