Although, stripping the Solaris FMD stuff down to just the ZFS parts would help keep Solaris/FreeBSD a bit closer in their ZFS implementations, which is of arguable importance, but I do like standardization. Eventually porting more of the FMD may be really useful, Solaris has a lot of very handy things in it that impress me. ..then again I'm not volunteering the time to do it, so I don't have much say. :-) -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Boris Kochergin Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 8:51 PM To: Chris Forgeron Cc: freebsd-stable Subject: Re: ZFS - hot spares : automatic or not? >After a cursory glance at their fault-management infrastructure, I >noticed that it also deals with other kinds of stuff like CPU and memory >problems, which might make a port painful or impractical.
