Ah, yes, for scrubs/resilvers. My brain didn't seem to understand the actual intent of Ross' statement, which was to say that repairing a mirror/raidz after replacing a bad disk requires halting new snapshots. On the other hand, a disk can fail and you can take snapshots all day long on a degraded pool. Glad to hear there's code under review to fix this. -- Dave _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
