fdisk -E Can Sweep Disk Used by ZFS Without
Warning (6412771)
If you use the fdisk -E command to modify a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool, the pool
becomes unusable and might cause an I/O failure or system panic.
Workaround:
Do not use the fdisk command to modify a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool. If you need
to access a disk that is used by a ZFS storage pool, use the format utility. In general, disks that
are in use by le systems should not be modied.
ZFS and Third-Party Backup Product Issues
The following are the issues with Brightstor ARCserve Backup products.
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agent for UNIX (Solaris) and ZFS
Support
The BrightStor ARCserve Backup (BAB) Client Agent for UNIX (Solaris) can be used to backup
and restore ZFS les.
However, ZFS NFSv4-style ACLs are not preserved during backup. Traditional UNIX le
permissions and attributes are preserved.
Workaround: If you want to preserve ZFS les with NFSv4-style ACLs, use the tar command
with the -p option or the cpio command with the -P option to write the ZFS les to a le. Then,
use BAB to backup the tar or cpio archive.
ZFS GUI Should Check For /usr/lib/embedded_su at
the Beginning of Each Wizard (6326334)
If you add the SUNWzfsg package from a Solaris 10 10/09 release to a system that runs a
pre-Solaris 10 6/06 release, which does not have the embedded_su patch, the ZFS
Administration application wizards are not fully functional.
