Well, it still hung, but the test itself revealed an interesting clue to the problem. In the previous trials, the last two file systems were left unchanged (snapshots were unrenamed) after rebooting. In the sort -r trial, only the last one was changed. This means that the penultimate entry in the list is 'magical' somehow. It's not shared via NFS, nor used for Zones, nor does it have compression enabled. The only thing special about that one file system is that it has over 100K tiny files on it. I'll do some more digging as time (and other users) permit. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
