Though the ARC case, PSARC/2007/618 is "unpublished," I gather from googling and the source that L2ARC devices are considered auxiliary, in the same category as spares. If so, then it is perfectly reasonable to expect that it gets picked up regardless of the GUID. This also implies that it is shareable between pools until assigned. Brief testing confirms this behaviour. I learn something new every day :-)
So, I suspect Lutz sees a race when both pools are imported onto one node. This still makes me nervous though... -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
