One more question regarding this - has anybody on this list had (or heard of) a zpool corruption that prevented access to all data in the pool? We're probably going to have a second X4540 here and push snapshots to it daily, so as a last resort we'd have access to the data on another machine. I'd like to minimise the chance of problems on the live machine first though :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
