I started looking at that yesterday, and was surprised by how complex the dependency graph is. Also, can't get graphviz to install or build, so I don't actually have a graph. In any event, rather than changing the existing service dependencies, I decided to just make a new service, which would zpool import, and zpool export the pools that are on iscsi, before and after the iscsi initiator. At present, the new service correctly mounts & dismounts the iscsi pool while I'm sitting there, but for some reason, it fails during reboot. I ran out of time digging into it ... I'll look some more tomorrow. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
