I have a few of those controllers as well, I wouldn't believe for a second that ZFS could change the controller config for an ld, I couldn't see how? # /usr/local/bin/CLI/MegaCli -LdGetProp -DskCache -LAll -a0 Adapter 0-VD 0(target id: 0): Disk Write Cache : Disabled Adapter 0-VD 1(target id: 1): Disk Write Cache : Disabled Adapter 0-VD 2(target id: 2): Disk Write Cache : Disabled Adapter 0-VD 3(target id: 3): Disk Write Cache : Disabled Adapter 0-VD 4(target id: 4): Disk Write Cache : Disabled The comment later about defining a pool w/ and w/o the sX syntax warrants a test:) Good to keep in mind... jlc _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
