Hi, The following FAQ entry seems to be outdated or at least misleading: opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/faq/#zfspanic I believe this has been fixed since the introduction of ditto blocks, which keeps redundant blocks of metadata (at least that''s what I think the FAQ author was referring to when he/she said it was going to be fixed in the near future). Background scrubbing and the possibility to see a list of corrupted files is already working for a long time. That FAQ entry might scare some people from trying ZFS, so I think this should be fixed :) Regards, Ricardo Correia

There are still some cases of corrupted pools that cause panics at boot (see some of the threads from the past few weeks), so the FAQ probably needs to stay for now. This message posted from opensolaris.org
