I assumed removing the file on disk will "kill" the "md vnode" but it does not. It seems this has nothing todo with gmirror/gstripe but the way md vnodes work!

You had a 512M mirror, and you wrote enough to fill the file system up.. ? Right? > This seems quite strange to me :) Its probably the way vnode disks are > attached to the filesystem ? I'm missing something. You might try to paint a bit clearer picture, as it's pretty hard to understand what exactly we should be looking for.. Eric
