...p the ssd''s which are local to the other node. L2ARC doesn''t contain any data which is critical to pool so it doesn''t have to be shared between node. SLOG would be a whole different story and generally it wouldn''t be possible. But L2ARC should be. -- Robert Milkowski http://milek.blogspot.com

Hello zfs-discuss, I wonder if ZFS will be able to take any advantage of Niagara''s built-in crypto? -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

...* for only the first flow. > */ > state->fs_firstonly = (interval != 0); Is there a reason why only first flow is displayed? If one wants stats for only one flow one can specify it... shouldn''t all flow stats be displayed if not flow is specified? -- Robert Milkowski http://milek.blogspot.com

...pool command will complain that there is UFS file system on D. workaround: create a test pool with -f on D and E, destroy it and that create first pool with D and E as hotspares. I''ve tested it on s10u3 + patches - can someone confirm it on latest nv? -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Is there an existing RFE for, what I''ll wrongly call, "recursively visable snapshots"? That is, .zfs in directories other than the dataset root. Frankly, I don''t need it available in all directories, although it''d be nice, but I do have a need for making it visiable 1 dir down from the dataset root. The problem is that while ZFS and Zones work smoothly

for s10u2, documentation recommends 3 to 9 devices in raidz. what is the basis for this recommendation? i assume it is performance and not failure resilience, but i am just guessing...

I''m moving some data off an old machine to something reasonably new. Normally, the new machine performs better, but I have one case just now where the new system is terribly slow. Old machine - V880 (Solaris 8) with SVM raid-5: # ptime du -kds foo 15043722 foo real 6.955 user 0.964 sys 5.492 And now the new machine - T5140 (latest Solaris 10) with ZFS

...snapshot is provided as an argument zfs destroy wouldn''t actually destroy it. That way it would be much safer to write scripts. What do you think? I can implement it and send diffs - should be really simple. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Hello list, someone (actually neil perrin (CC)) mentioned in this thread: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2009-December/034340.html that is should be possible to import a pool with failed log devices (with or without data loss ?). >/ />/ Has the following error no consequences? />/ />/ Bug ID 6538021 />/ Synopsis Need a way to force pool startup when

Hey all, Has anyone else noticed Norco''s recently-announced DS-520 and thought ZFS-ish thoughts? It''s a five-SATA, Celeron-based desktop NAS that ships without an OS. http://www.norcotek.com/item_detail.php?categoryid=8&modelno=ds-520 What practical impact is a 32-bit processor going to have on a ZFS system? (I know this relies on speculation, but) Might anyone know

Today I updated the firmware on my StorageTek 2540 to the latest recommended version and am seeing radically difference performance when testing with iozone than I did in February of 2008. I am using Solaris 10 U5 with all the latest patches. This is the performance achieved (on a 32GB file) in February last year: KB reclen write rewrite read reread 33554432

Hi, I''d like to move a disk from one controller to another. This disk is part of a mirror in a zfs pool. How can one do this without having to export/import the pool or reboot the system? I tried taking it offline and online again, but then zpool says the disk is unavailable. Trying a zpool replace didn''t work because it complains that the "new" disk is part of a

Hi, is it somehow possible to use Dtrace for error injection in a kernel module? Something like changing: - function return value - value of a register If not, can it be implemented? I can do that via kmdb, but I need Dtrace for the time synchronization - chill() action. I can not combine Dtrace & kmdb: dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace cannot be used when kernel debugger

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to know the blocksize of a particular file.

What is a use case of setting a reservation on the base pool object? Say I have a pool of 3 100GB drives dynamic striped (pool size of 300GB), and I set the reservation to 200GB. I don''t see any commands that let me ever reduce a pool''s size, so how is the 200GB reservation used? Related question: is there a plan in the future to allow me to replace the 3 100GB drives with 2

According to zfs(1M) " -v Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the receive. " However when using -v option I only get: receiving full stream of p6/d5212 at r1 into nfs-s5-s8/d5212 at r1 Or maybe it''s due to I pipe send to recv so it''s harder to estimate? I *quickly* glanced at the code it

I need to move data from one zpool to another, lock stock and barrel, Being from linux background my instinct was to use rsync. But then I remembered seeing the `export/import options in man zpool.. And I''ve seen mention of them here too, but didn''t pay attention since I''d noticed no need yet. Now I''m wondering if the export/import sub commands might not be
