Bouncing a thread from the device drivers list: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=357176 Does anybody know if OpenSolaris will support this new Supermicro card, based on the Marvell 88SE6480 chipset? It''s a true PCI Express 8 port JBOD SAS/SATA controller with pricing apparently around $125. If it works with OpenSolaris it sounds pretty much perfect. --------------

If it''s of interest, I''ve written up some articles on my experiences of building a ZFS NAS box which you can read here: http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/a-home-fileserver-using-zfs/ I used CIFS to share the filesystems, but it will be a simple matter to use NFS instead: issue the command ''zfs set sharenfs=on pool/filesystem'' instead of ''zfs set

... here''s hoping they release it with Solaris drivers http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9121698&intsrc=hm_list -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Is there any way to control the resliver speed? Having attached a third disk to a mirror (so I can replace the other disks with larger ones) the resilver goes at a fraction of the speed of the same operation using disk suite. However it still renders the system pretty much unusable for anything else. So I would like to control the rate of the resilver. Either slow it down a lot so that the

Suppose I have a single ZFS pool on a single disk; I want to upgrade the system to use two different, larger disks and I want to mirror. Can I do something like: - I start with disk #0 - add mirror on disk #1 (resilver) - replace first disk (#0) with disk #2 (resilver) Casper

Hi all, I''ve just pushed some of the changes coming up in 0.11 hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/jds/zfs-snapshot I''ve got some commentary on the Early Access nature of this release at: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_0_11 Comments (and bug reports) welcome! cheers, tim

Hey folks, I guess this is an odd question to be asking here, but I could do with some feedback from anybody who''s actually using ZFS in anger. I''m about to go live with ZFS in our company on a new fileserver, but I have some real concerns about whether I can really trust ZFS to keep my data alive if things go wrong. This is a big step for us, we''re a 100% windows

In August last year I posted this bug, a brief summary of which would be that ZFS still accepts writes to a faulted pool, causing data loss, and potentially silent data loss: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6735932 There have been no updates to the bug since September, and nobody seems to be assigned to it. Can somebody let me know what''s happening with this

We''re currently evaluating ZFS prior to (hopefully) rolling it out across our server room, and have managed to lock up a server after connecting to an iSCSI target, and then changing the IP address of the target. Basically we have two test Solaris servers running, and I followed the instructions on the post below to share a zpool on Server1 using the iSCSI Target, and then import that

I just received a special offer from Sun (marketing...) promising that I will learn "How to use ZFS snapshots for backup and restore purposes." The relevant doc is at... https://www.sun.com/offers/docs/zfs_snapshots.pdf It says: === Begin quote === Archiving and Restoring Snapshots Another use of snapshots is to create archives for long-term storage elsewhere. In the following

Is this correct? How do I restore those files? I know

Hi, I have a small Linux server PC at home (Intel Core2 Q9300, 4 GB RAM), and I''m seriously considering switching to OpenSolaris (Indiana, 2008.11) in the near future, mainly because of ZFS. The idea is to run the existing CentOS 4.7 system inside a VM and let it NFS mount home directories and other filesystems from OpenSolaris. I might migrate more services from Linux over time, but for

I have a ZFS pool that has been corrupted. The pool contains a single device which was actually a file on UFS. The machine was accidentally halted and now the pool is corrupt. There are (of course) no backups and I''ve been asked to recover the pool. The system panics when trying to do anything with the pool. root@:/$ zpool status panic[cpu1]/thread=fffffe8000758c80: assertion failed:

Hi everyone, I''ve been running a zfs fileserver for about a month now (on snv_91) and it''s all working really well. I''m scrubbing once a week and nothing has come up as a problem yet. I''m a little worried as I''ve just noticed these messages in /var/adm/message and I don''t know if they''re bad or just informational: Aug 2 14:46:06

Hi, As a part of the next stages of the time-slider project we are looking into doing actual backups onto removable media devices such as USB media. The goal is to be able to view snapshots stored on the media and merge these into the list of viewable snapshots in nautilus giving the user a broader selection of restore points. In an ideal world we would like to detect the insertion of the

This might be a daft question, but is there any way to configure Solaris to notify us when a disk has finished resilvering? This message posted from opensolaris.org

While playing around with ZFS and iSCSI devices I''ve managed to remove an iscsi target before removing the zpool. Now any attempt to delete the pool (with or without -f) core dumps zpool. Any ideas how I get rid of this pool? This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hey folks, I have no knowledge at all about how streams work in Solaris, so this might have a simple answer, or be completely impossible. Unfortunately I''m a windows admin so haven''t a clue which :) We''re looking at rolling out a couple of ZFS servers on our network, and instead of tapes we''re considering using off-site NAS boxes for backups. We think
