We have one machine that gets a hard-hang about once a month. it is also the most heavily used. We, so far, have not been able to get a good kernel dump. We also have a few IDRs in place (pre-patch patch) to fix some signficant bugs that happen when a zpool gets too full.
That said, zfs is solid, solid, solid for integrity of the data, but it's nowhere near as solid for high availability environments as you'd get out of a NetApp, BlueArc, or the like. I will continue to use it in production on ~30 servers. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
