Hi all,
ZFS is a robust FS and it can survive disk failure(s) without loosing data, that's good and all of us like that :D (or not?). But my question is from opposite side of view.... What ways do we have for destroying/erasing the data/ZFS? I don't want to destroy some corporate data storage or something like that :D , i am just curious what behavior will be the kill-shot for ZFS and if there is a way how to "rescue" after some disaster scenario.
I'm not counting the usual disk format. Also unplugging the system USB dongle will "remove" the system, so also the config for RAIDZ, but this can be rebuilded since the information are stored on the start and also at the end of each drive (if i'm right). I am thinking that the small script which will rewrite several block at the start and at the end of the disk will be successful way how to screw the whole RAIDZ.
Any ideas, or experiences? :D
