Dear Michelle, i assume you have physical access to the Box. Are you able to boot the box? Are you able to check if there are any Core Dumps left ond the Box? Only to clarify, we're not talkin about a complete Zpool Corruption? ZFS hang the system completely, after zpool import on the reboot?

Hi Bernd, Correct. It hangs the box. I do have physical access and rebooted it. I have re-started the copy as after the reboot, the pool was mounted and not reporting any errors. Please can you guide me to the core dumps as I'm not sure about these, and the avenues on more expanded information

It looks like there was some process or change with the smb service that wasn't happy until it had received another reboot. It crosses my mind that if smb wasn't happy ... might this have caused an upset with zfs because one of the pools is shared via smb? Incidentally, it looks like backup has

If you did an upgrade, the problem with smbsrv could simply have been that the smbsrv kernel module does not support unload, so you have to reboot before smbsrv is functional with the upgraded bits. Might that explain what you saw? On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Michelle Knight wrote: > It loo
