Then use a layered clustering product - that's what this is for. For example, SunCluster doesn't use the cache file in the traditional way, and will make sure the host coming back up doesn't access the pool before it is able to do so. If you are going to 'roll your own' clustering, then you will need to come up with some appropriate conversation between the two hosts to know when it is OK to come completely up. You can use alternate root pools (with '/' they become effectively temporary) and allow the host to come all the way up before having the failback conversation with the other host before explicitly importing the pool. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
