[zfs-discuss] zfs streams data corruption

2009-02-23 Thread Christopher Mera
Hi folks, I recently read up on Scott Dickson's blog with his solution for jumpstart/flashless cloning of ZFS root filesystem boxes. I have to say that it initially looks to work out cleanly, but of course there are kinks to be worked out that deal with auto mounting filesystems mostly.

Hi I have a script that creates accounts and zfs file systems for each account. The list of accounts is fairly large ~5200. I have in the past been able to run this script and create filesystems for all 5200 accounts. With snv_107 I get periodic failures while running the script. primarily the
