This was a very hard decision, and not one made lightly. I have always enjoyed my work, and still do -- everything from MTS-2 to Sun Fellow...

Solaris in 32-bit mode has a 1TB device limit. UFS filesystems in 32-bit mode also have a 1TB limit, even if using a logical volume manager to span smaller than 1TB devices. So, what kind of limit does ZFS have when running under 32-bit Solaris? -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca14-102 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA

Hi. I gave a talk about ZFS during EuroBSDCon 2007, and because it won the the best talk award and some find it funny, here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o3TGM0T1CvE a bit better version is here: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/zfs/zfs-man.swf BTW. Inspired by ZFS demos from OpenSolaris page I created few demos of ZFS on FreeBSD:

...ee and used) and how its usage interacts with thin provisioning provided by HDS arrays. Is there any effort to minimize the number of provisioned disk blocks that get writes so as to not negate any space benefits that thin provisioning may give? Background & more detailed questions: In Jeff Bonwick''s blog[1], he talks about free space management and metaslabs. Of particular interest is the statement: "ZFS divides the space on each virtual device into a few hundred regions called metaslabs." 1. http://blogs.sun.com/bonwick/entry/space_maps In Hu Yoshida''s (CTO, H...

Hi, my system (solaris b77) was physically destroyed and i loosed data saved in a zpool mirror. The only thing left is a dettached vdev from the pool. I''m aware that uberblock is gone and that i can''t import the pool. But i still hope their is a way or a tool (like tct http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/) i can go too recover at least partially some data) thanks in advance for

Hi, I''m atmost ready to deploy my new homeserver for final testing. Before I want to be sure that nothing big is left untouched. Reading ZFS Admin Guide About the checksum method, there''s no advice about it. The default is fletcher4. there''s also SHA256 Now the sha256 is pretty ''heavy'' to calculate, so I think that it''s left out because can

Will the material ever be posted. Looks there is some huge bugs with zfs deduplication that the organizers do not want to post it also there is no indication on sun website if there will be a deduplication feature. I think its best they concentrate on improving zfs performance and speed with compression enabled. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, How difficult would it be to write some code to change the GUID of a pool? ---- Thanks Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/20080701/cf494cc1/attachment.html>

Hello zfs-discuss, Is someone actually working on it? Or any other algorithms? Any dates? -- Best regards, Robert mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Hello, As I understand it, in a traditional RAID 5 setup adding new disks to the pool provides more overall I/O as the load is spread out across multiple disks. What exactly is this relationship in a RAID-Z setup? What should one expect in terms of overall I/O performance as disks are added and/or removed? I understand that the checksum data is distributed across all disks, unlike a traditional

ZFS fans, I''m preparing some analyses on RAS for large JBOD systems such as the Sun Fire X4500 (aka Thumper). Since there are zillions of possible permutations, I need to limit the analyses to some common or desirable scenarios. Naturally, I''d like your opinions. I''ve already got a few scenarios in analysis, and I don''t want to spoil the brain storming, so

I''d like to replace/upgrade two 500GB disks in RaidZ2 vdev with 1TB disks, but I have some preliminary questions/concerns before trying ''zfs replace dpool ?'' Will ZFS permit this replacement? Will ZFS use the extra space in a heterogeneous RaidZ2 vdev, or is the size limited by the smallest disk in the vdev? Thanks in advance, Vizzini The system is currently running

Hi, I''m referring to; http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6977913 It should be in Solaris 11 Express, has anyone tried this? How this is supposed to work?

G''Day Folks, I''ve finally typed up my classic DTrace demo, which I use to introduce people to DTrace (I delivered this at SOSUG#1), http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/dtracevstruss.html Here I create a fault and show the difficulty in analysing it using previous tools. Then I compare the impact of analysing the problem using both DTrace and truss. DTrace wins (a lot!).

In reading this blog post: http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/entry/taking_zfs_deduplication_for_a a question came to mind..... To understand the context of the question, consider the opening paragraph from the above post; Here is my test case: I have 2 directories of photos, totaling about 90MB > each. And here''s the trick - they are almost complete duplicates of each > other. I downloaded
