while the guys at solaris code camp glorified ZFS and its opportunities, i wanted to take a closer look.
since a filesystem/vm should be production-ready, it should at least handle hotplugged - failed drive in this case - devices correctly.
so i set up a sun enterprise 420r with a d130 storage array attached to it.
`zpool create tank raidz c1t10d0 c1t11d0 c1t12d0` (don't bother about the 3 disk raidz setup - thanks ;-)
then i physically detached a disk of the array. `zpool status` hung on giving me output. it was even not possible to login with ssh anymore.
this is a known issue by the ZFS community:
OpenSolaris Case
while speaking about just one problem of the current ZFS implementation we have to wait for proper FMA integration.
