If you're paranoid, export the pool and remove or move aside the zpool cache file (rm /etc/zfs/zpool.cache).

Btw, does the sas2008 use the mptsas or the mpt driver? 3Gpbs or 6Gpbs?

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
