I don't know the specific bug that causes this but I can confirm it's a common situation in b111. After you kill the `zfs receive`, run `iostat -XCn 1` and verify that it's reading a lot. When that activity ends, `zfs receive` will have terminated. b126 seems to be immune to this and can accept many `zfs receive` processes without any of them getting stuck like that. You'd better try b134 though. -- Giovanni Tirloni gtirl...@sysdroid.com _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
