Is it possible? What will stop ZFS from auto-detecting the underlying devices? Does it have inside knowledge of ODS/SDS/SVM/Name_du_jour? In a simple exmaple, Mirror c1d1s2 and c1d2s2 into md30. Create a zpool on md30. When zfs scans for pools, it will see 2 or 3 copies (depending on SVM/ZFS start ordering). What happens? -- Carson _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
