Hi, Has anyone seen the following problem? After "lofiadm -d" removes an association, the file is still locked and cannot be moved or deleted if the file resides in a ZFS mounted with nbmand=on. There are two ways to remove the lock. (1) remount the zfs by the unmount+mount; the lock is removed even if nbmand=on option is given again, or (2) reboot...

...sake, and I''m using Solaris 10 6/06, which may not be the most up-to-date. At the bottom are details of the tests. The problem: I was not able to use a loopback device on a file system image (see TEST section). Here are some questions: * Am I missing something? * Is there support for lofiadm in a more recent version of ZFS? * Or is there any other way to safely mount a file system image? Thanks for your help. Regards Mark GOOD NEWS It looks as if the zfs mount options can stop updates of file system metadata (ie mount times etc) and file metadata (no writing of file access times)...

The `lofiadm'' man page describes how to export a file as a block device and then use `mkfs -F pcfs'' to create a FAT filesystem on it. Can''t I do the same thing by first creating a zvol and then creating a FAT filesystem on it? Nothing I''ve tried seems to work. Isn''...

...al" notation (''file:/export/winxp/winxp.iso,hda:cdrom,r'' becomes ''file:/other/path/whateverDVD.iso,hdf:cdrom,r'') does not seem to work (in the .py file); when I start the xp domU, it simply ignores it, no drive is shown. I tried to mount the same image with lofiadm/mount, and I could browse it''s contents, so the image file itself seems to be OK. Are such big (=dvd) images supported by the current version of Xen/xVM? thanks a lot! a This message posted from opensolaris.org

Apparently with zfs boot, if the zpool is a version grub doesn''t recognize, it merely ignores any zfs entries in menu.lst, and apparently instead boots the first entry it thinks it can boot. I ran into this myself due to some boneheaded mistakes while doing a very manual zfs / install at the summit. Shouldn''t it at least spit out a warning? If so, I have no issues filing a

Hi all, I have been looking at various alternatives for a system that runs several Linux & Windows guests. So far my favorite choice would be OpenSolaris+ZFS+RAIDZ+VirtualBox. Is this combo ready to be a host for Linux & Windows guests? Or is it not 100% stable (yet)? Greetings, Evert This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi all, I am trying to install OpenSUSE 11.1 as a para-virtualized DomU on an opensolaris2009.06 guest using the xvm packages provided via IPS. I followed the instructions available here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/virtinstall/ but I get the following error when trying to install from a NFS share where I mounted the iso (as far as I understand the only way to get a Linux

I am pretty new to using solaris''s xvm. I booted my sol dom0 and attempted to create a one of the linux pre-built domU''s. Every time I try to run the xm create command I get an error saying something about it not being able to find the kernel file. Any ideas. This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, Gurus, which build is stable for xVM? I chose Nevada 111 as xVM server, because it''s build base for OpenSolaris 200906. I think it should be stable. But I met error when I creating second vm on it. I tried virt-install and virt-manager, and I got same error. Here is error info libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to recreate the functionality of PGP Disk (under Win32). Basically, create an encrypted file, which contains a filesystem which can then be mounted in any mount point. I know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted). I'd like to be able to simply unmount my

Hi all, I have a 5 drive RAIDZ volume with data that I''d like to recover. The long story runs roughly: 1) The volume was running fine under FreeBSD on motherboard SATA controllers. 2) Two drives were moved to a HP P411 SAS/SATA controller 3) I *think* the HP controllers wrote some volume information to the end of each disk (hence no more ZFS labels 2,3) 4) In its "auto
