This is not a correct statement. Those are two different failure modes and the recovery method is different. At this point it is worth reminding the forum that if you do not have a separate log device and you do use HDDs for the pool, then you are in the volatile cache + cache flush respected (we hope) scenario for the ZIL. -- richard -- Richard Elling rich...@nexenta.com +1-760-896-4422 ZFS and NexentaStor training, Rotterdam, July 13-15, 2010 http://nexenta-rotterdam.eventbrite.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
