Yes, that is correct. However, ZFS currently only detects total drive unavailability as 'failure'. It does not recognize arbitrarily misbehaving drives, nor does it recognize drivers which maintain an openable device node, but fail all I/O requests. We plan to provide such higher level diagnosis (combined with SMART data and hotplug events, too) in the near future. - 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
