Hi Andriy,

Could you please let me know when could a fix for this be available?

Regards,
Shiva

Thanks Andriy.





Two bug reports filed:

Oh, I now recall seeing your report:

https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/zfs/Tccd8b4463865899e

I remember that it raised my interest, but then I forgot about it and didn't

correlate it with the latest reports.

I am not aware of any existing bug report.

It would be great if you could open one [ or two :-) ]

If you open an illumos issue, please also add George Wilson as a watcher.

I think that George is also interested in fixing this issue and he knows the

relevant code better than me.



Thank you!
