[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS stalls with oi_151?

Tommy,

If you get this again, can you generate a crash dump? The easiest way would be to do the following from the console:

# mdb -K
> $<systemdump

I'm afraid if you try to do a 'reboot -d' that it will hang too.

Happily, this morning, I saw that they were still running without problem and stopped them. Then, when asking vSphere to delete the VMs, all write I/O stalled. A bit too much irony for me :)
