zfs discuss - Aug 2006 - zpool status panics server

Hi 

I have just set up a basic pool (of one disk). When I remove the disk and run
zpool status the server panics and reboots. Is this expected behaviour?

thanks

Unfortunately yes.

When ZFS can''t write to a pool then it panics system.

Hi Robert

Thanks for the info.
I find this hard to understand though, the same wouldnt happen for VxVM or SVM.
Is this a flaw with zfs?

It is ZFS bug 6322646; a flaw.

Is this fixed in a patch yet?

Neal,

This is not fixed yet. Your best best is to run a replicated pool.

Thanks,
George

Thanks George, will do

BTW is the best way to learn ZFS reading the ZFS Admin Guide or do Sun run more
in-depth courses?

Hi Neal,

The ZFS administration class, available in the fall, I think, covers
basically the same content as the ZFS admin guide only with extensive
lab exercises.

If you''re an experienced admin, I think you can pick up most of
the basic features from the ZFS Admin Guide. If you can''t, please
let me know...

I found the ZFS Administration Guide to be very-much worth the time I 
spent reading it, and I was very ready to start experimenting on my own 
after only reading a quarter of it.

You could not give any ZFS class and advertise it as: "ZFS is so
simple that we don''t have any ZFS class !".

Just kidding ;-)
