Hi Edward, Thank you for the feedback. All makes sense. To clarify, yes, I snapshotted the VM within ESXi, not the filesystems within the pool. Unfortunately, because of my misunderstanding of how ESXi snapshotting works, I'm now left without the option of investigating whether the replaced

Hi, I have some strange goings-on with my VM of Solaris Express 11, and I hope someone can help. It shares out other virtual machine files for use in ESXi 4.0 (it, too, runs in there) I had two disks inside the VM - one for rpool and one for 'vmpool'. All was fine. vmpool has some deduped data.

[zfs-discuss] Hang on zpool import (dedup related)

Absolutely spot on George. The import with -N took seconds. Working on the assumption that esx_prod is the one with the problem, I bumped that to the bottom of the list. Each mount was done in a second: # zfs mount zp # zfs mount zp/nfs # zfs mount zp/nfs/esx_dev # zfs mount zp/nfs/esx_hedgehog

That's a good idea, thanks. I get the feeling the remainder won't be zero, which will back up the misalignment theory. After a bit more digging, it seems the problem is just an NTFS issue and can be addressed irrespective of underlying storage system. I think I'm going to try the process in
