X-BeenThere: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Filesystems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:11:29 -0000 According to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gcvcw?a=view , different ZFS pools can share hot spare drives. I've tried this with 7.2p4, and it doesn't work. I've tried both adding the spares at create time and adding the spares after creating the pools. This seems like a useful and (relatively) easy thing to fix?
