Thank you for the above information... According to Bug Database bug 6382683 is in 1-Dispatched state, what does that mean? I wonder if the fix is available (or will be available) as a Solaris 10 patch? We have scripts which create our iso images and it will be a too much of a hazzle to modify our scripts with the workaround(s). This sucks, we deployed ZFS into production and roll it back because of this issue. -- prasad This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
