My experience has been, despite what the BPG (or whatever) says, this is not true. When I create pools using slices or not using slices, it doesn't seem to make any difference to the cache status of the drives. Also, when I go into format -e, I attempt to toggle the cache status, and toggling also fails. Which brings me back to my former argument: Who cares about the drive cache anyway.

I meant if you are able to reduce or eliminate your reservation, that should free up enough space to enable you to destroy a snapshot, and re-enable your reservation. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
