Re: ZFS kernel panic

From Max Laier <max@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Tue, Aug 28, 2007 at 11:23:56PM +0200:
drive with opened files into read-only mode, a panic is the only way to
make sure.

No. The kernel may signal EIO to any subsequent operation. In addition
even such aggressive action is not required, let alone a panic: UFS does
not behave this way. Accesses to uncorrupted sections of a drive usually
proceed normally.

Please be careful with statements such as "the only way"--especially when
the way you describe is demonstrably bad.
