[OpenIndiana-discuss] HDD Upgrade problem

Sun Jun 10 14:45:49 UTC 2012

The system seems to have hung again, any query to the ZFS system hangs 
the session.

Nothing in /var/adm/messages.

I'm wondering whether the combination of having a mirrored zfs set with 
one drive on e-sata and one drive on USB could be upsetting it.
