The sources, yes (you can pull them from the ON mercurial mirror). It looks like the latest SX:CE is still on build 76, so it doesn't seem like you can get a binary distro, yet. > > I'm seeing zfs not making use of available hot-spares when I pull a > disk, long and indeed painful SCSI retries and very poor write > performance on a degraded zpool - I hope to be able to test if b77 fares > any better with this. What hardware/driver are you using? Build 76 should have the ability to recognize removed devices via DKIOCGETSTATE and immediately transition to the REMOVED state instead of going through the SCSI retry logic (3x 60 seconds). Build 77 added a 'probe' operation on I/O failure that will try to read/write some basic data to the disk and if that fails will immediately determine the disk as FAULTED without having to wait for retries to fail and FMA diagnosis to offline the device. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, FishWorks http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
