Why a new subcommand when 'zpool import' got '-D' to revive destroyed pools ? > It would not be completely general-purpose -- > in a pool with multiple mirror devices, it could only work if > all replicas were detached in the same txg -- but for the simple > case of a single top-level mirror vdev, or a clean 'zpool split', > it's actually pretty straightforward. zpool split is the functionality need - take a side of a mirror and make a new unmirrored pool from it. However I think many people are likely to attempt 'zpool detach' because of experience with volume managers such as SVM (ODS, LVM what ever you want to call it this week) where you type 'metadetach'. Though of course that won't work in the case where there is actually a stripe of mirrors so 'zpool split' is need to deal with the non trivial case anyway. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
