It might not be direct ZFS fault. I tried to reproduce this on FreeBSD and I was able to import pool with ~2000 ZVOLs and ~10000 ZVOL snapshots in few minutes. Those were empty ZVOLs and empty snapshots, so keep that in mind. All in all creating /dev/ entries might be slow in Solaris that's why experience this behaviour when importing ZFS pool with many ZVOLs and many ZVOL snapshots (note that every ZVOL snapshot is a device entry in /dev/zvol/, not like with file systems where snapshots are mounted on .zfs/snapshot/<name> lookup and not on import time). -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl p...@freebsd.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
