Whether ZFS properly detects device removal depends to a large extent on the device drivers for the controller. I personally have stuck to using controllers with chipsets I know Sun use on their own servers, but even then I've been bitten by similar problems to yours on the AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards.
The LSI 1068 based cards seem to be the most stable, but I haven't been fortunate enough to test them myself yet. I've been saying for ages that ZFS needs its own timeouts to detect when a drive has gone in a redundant pool, but Sun don't seem to agree that it's needed. They seem happy to have ZFS working on their own kit, and hanging for others. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
