I agree, I think this is a really good idea for an enhancement request. Especially useful for inexperienced admins (or those muddle-headed from their 4th 18-hour day this week).

After this weekend, an option that double checks when you initially install the filer to ask "I know you said you wanted to add 2 disks to the root group, did you really mean this or was it 2 disks total you want in the root group". Only took me an hour to recover, but STILL!
Thanks, Tuc/TTSG

Indeed... recovery could be costly and/or awkward. Perhaps Netappwould consider a "safety feature" enhancement for "vol add/create" command where by default it will not allow a situation in which a volume/raidgroup is left with no hot spares. Add a "-f" switch (or whatever) to force an override. Warm fuzzy feature. :)
This is a great idea. And should be only a couple line of intern-level code to implement too.

Maybe NetApp ought to supplement rc_toggle_basic with
rc_toggle_inexperienced
not to mention
rc_toggle_tired.and.emotional
--- although the latter should perhaps be set automatically from a schedule in /etc/pub_opening_times ...
