Hi Andre, ext3 folk, It would be really great if you could help me out here, I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, a driver issue, an ext3 issue or some combination of them... I have a KT133A motherboard with an on-board promise controller, and an ACARD ATP865 in a PCI slot. I'm running 2.4.19-ac4 with the lvm 1.0.5 patches. The acard has two drives, hde and hdg attached to it, both ibm120GXPs, both primary, badblocks shows them as good, smartctl shows them as good. If, say I create a single partition on /dev/hde1 type linux and format it ext...

zdb -C shows an shift value on each vdev in my pool, I was just wondering if it is vdev specific, or pool wide. Google didn''t seem to know. I''m considering a mixed pool with some "advanced format" (4KB sector) drives, and some normal 512B sector drives, and was wondering if the ashift can be set per vdev, or only per pool. Theoretically, this would save me some size on

Hi, as I have learned from the discussion about which SSD to use as ZIL drives, I stumbled across this article, that discusses short stroking for increasing IOPs on SAS and SATA drives: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/short-stroking-hdd,2157.html Now, I am wondering if using a mirror of such 15k SAS drives would be a good-enough fit for a ZIL on a zpool that is mainly used for file

Hey guys, In your experience what is the best way to go for a production asterisk box in your offices? With desktop prices so cheap you might think that you should just buy them off the shelf, but is that really a reliable machine? Anything you can tell me that would assist me in deciding the best way to obtain and maintain these boxes would be very helpful. I have even looked into building

The DDRdrive X1 OpenSolaris device driver is now complete, please join us in our first-ever ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) beta test program. A select number of X1s are available for loan, preferred candidates would have a validation background and/or a true passion for torturing new hardware/driver :-) We are singularly focused on the ZIL device market, so a test environment bound by synchronous writes
