What is a gmirror device going to do with zero active mirrors? It seems useless. Possible mitigations for similar classes of issue: * When a stale mirror is detected at runtime *and* we've already got a comp= lete mirrorset (#6 above), zero out the gmirror superblock or otherwise disassoc= iate it from the logical mirrorset. It's not going to get less stale if we igno= re it. * In g_mirror_update_device when we're in RUNNING and notice we have no mirrors, transition back to STARTING? This sounds a little silly to me; we should probably just avoid transitioning to RUNNING unless we have a valid mirror. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
