I’m testing the new online zpool expansion feature of Solaris 10 9/10. My
zpool was created using the entire disk (ie. no slice number was used). When I
resize my LUN on our SAN (an HP-EVA4400) the EFI label does not change.
On the zpool, I have autoexpand=on, and I’ve tried using zpool

Do you have dedup on? Removing large files, zfs destroy a snapshot, or a zvol
and you'll see hangs like you are describing.
Turn off dedup is best option..
If you want dedup get more ram, and more, and more, and.. add SSD cache

Hi Ed,
I have been using the Dell r710 for a while. You might try
disabling c-states, as the problem you saw is identical to one I
was seeing (disk i/o stops working, other things are ok). Since
disabling c-states, I haven't seen the problem again.

Yes, that pretty much resume it.

Budy, if you are using raid-5 or raid-6 underneath ZFS, then you should know
that raid-5/6 might corrupt data. See here for lots of technical articles why

Would it be possible to install OpenSolaris to an USB
