Howdy Matt. Just to make it absolutely clear, I appreciate your response. I
would be quite lost if it weren't for all of the input.

aye mate, I had the exact same problem, but where i work, we pay some pretty

the thing resolved, and i instead ended up going back to de

Look, yanking the drives like that can seriously damage the drives or your
motherboard. Solaris doesn't let you do it and assumes that something's gone
seriously wrong if you try it. That Linux ignores the behavior and lets you do

Hello list,
I have known that zfs has an excellent feature--adjusting its block size
according to the size of files automatically. Some materials say that this is
implemented by a function of the size of the file. However, I can not find any
further description of this key function. Do I have to
Thanks for you two's nice answers!

You're correct, it doesn't. Furthermore, to the best of
my knowledge, it won't ever support hotswap.

I've seen posted here snippets of regularly running zfs send/recv and
here's one below:

zfs itself can't, but Tim Foster has written a nice script, integrated into
SMF, which can be used to automatically create and delete snapshots at various
intervals.

release and http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.js

You tell ZFS to delete the unneeded ones, or you hit 100% disk usage

Hi all,
Since it is said that ZFS can offer unlimited snapshots, I am just wondering
that if there are too many snapshots which consumes too much space, how can ZFS
deal with this?

I'm pretty sure pci-ide doesn't support hot-swap. I believe you need ahci.

Hmm... You know, that's a good question. I'm not sure if those SATA II ports
support hot swap or not. The motherboard is fairly new, but taking a look at
the specifications provided by Gigabyte
(http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2874)

PS. Does your system definitely support SATA hot swap? Could you for example
test it under windows to see if it runs fine there?
I suspect this is a Solaris driver problem, but it would be good to have
confirmation that the hardware handles this fine.

Ah, yes - all four hard drives are connected to the motherboard's onboard SATA
II ports. There is one additional drive I have neglected to mention thus far
(the boot drive) but that is connected via the motherboard's IDE channel, and
has remained untouched since the install... I don't really con
You're seeing exactly the same behaviour I found on my server, using a
Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 SATA controller. It's detailed on the forums under the

that topic split into 3 or 4 pieces so it's a pain to find.
