That is _not_ active-active, that is active-passive. If you have a active-active system I can access the same data via both controllers at the same time. I can't if it works like you just described. You can't call it active-active just because different volumes are controlled by different controllers. Most active-passive RAID controllers can do that. The data sheet talks about active-active clusters, how does that work? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
