Ah... an illiterate AND idiotic bigot. Have you even read the manual or *ANY* of the replies to your posts? *YOU* caused the situation that resulted in your data being corrupted. Not Sun, not OpenSolaris, not ZFS and not anyone on this list. Yet you feel the need to blame ZFS and insult the people that have been trying to help you understand what happened and why you shouldn't do what you did. ZFS is not a filesystem like UFS or Reiserfs, nor is it an LVM like SVM or VxVM. It is both a filesystem and a logical volume manager. As such, like all LVM solutions, there are two steps that you must perform to safely remove a disk: unmount the filesystem and quiesce the volume. That means you *MUST*, in the case of ZFS, issue 'umount filesystem' *AND* 'zpool export' before you yank the USB stick out of the machine. Effectively what you did was create a one-sided mirrored volume with one filesystem on it, then put your very important (but not important enough to bother mirroring or backing up) data on it. Then you unmounted the filesystem and ripped the active volume out of the machine. You got away with it a couple of times because just how good of a job the ZFS developers did at idiot proofing it, but when it finally got to the point where you lost your data, you came here to bitch and point fingers at everyone but the responsible party (hint, it's you). When your ignorance (and fault) was pointed out to you, you then resorted to personal attacks and slurs. Nice. Very professional.
