Dear list=2C=20

I have been experiencing possible problems with file-backed vdevs in ZFS.=20
I was playing around with them for lack of proper drives=2C trying to get a=
quainted with the system.=20

I noticed that my machine would hang when I deleted the file which was incl=
uded in the pool

# mkfile file{1=2C2=2C3=2C4=2C5}
# zpool create tank raidz2 file{1=2C2=2C3=2C4=2C5}
# zpool scrub tank -> OK
# rm file1
# zpool scrub tank -> FAILURE

This does not occur then one of the files is replaced with a partition on a=
 USB-drive.=20

I have posted more complete information under forums.freebsd.org=20

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3D13619

Would appreciate if someone could point me in the direction to proceed=2C w=
hether to post PR or what to do.=20

Best regards=2C=20
