Hello Stuart, Looks like crash dumped went ok. Check logs after system booted up again if there's a warning that there's no enough space in /var/crash/x4500gc to save crashdump. When using zfs on a file servers crashdumps usually will be almost of server's memory size... Eventually ju

It looks like there is a problem dumping a kernel panic on an X4500. During the self induced panic, there where additional syslog messages that indicate a problem writing to the two disks that make up /dev/md/dsk/d2 in my case. It is as if the SATA controllers are being reset during the crash dump

Running Solaris 10 Update 3 on an X4500 I have found that it is possible to reproducibly block all writes to a ZFS pool by running "chgrp -R" on any large filesystem in that pool. As can be seen below in the zpool iostat output below, after about 10-sec of running the chgrp command all writes to t
