It is not, however, correct that to restore the data you need to destroy the entire file system and restore it. If we’re stating that the fix for a bad block in an individual data file is to reload the whole FS, there’s a documentation issue. We should say something more like “An unrecoverable error was found in ‘/homepool/johndoe/.login’. This file should be restored from backup.” This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
