This must be resliver day :) I just had a drive failure. The hot spare kicked in, and access to the pool over NFS was effectively zero for about 45 minutes. Currently the pool is still reslivering, but for some reason I can access the file system now. Resliver speed has been beaten to death I know, but is there a way...

...ough guesstimate of how long this will take? It''s 3x1200JB ata drives and one Seagate SATA drive. The SATA drive is the one that was replaced. Any idea how long this will take? As in 5 hours? 2 days? I don''t see any way to get a status update on where it''s at in the reslivering process (feature request?). This message posted from opensolaris.org

We have a Mirror setup in ZFS that''s 73GB (two internal disks on a sun fire v440). We currently are going to attach this system to an Equallogic Box, and will attach an ISCSCI LUN from the Equallogic box to the v440 of about 200gb. The Equallogic Box is configured as a Hardware Raid 50 (two hot spares for redundancy). My question is what''s the best approach to moving the ZFS

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...

...Raid0 storage raidZ1: 1 500 GB IDE 1 500 GB SATA /..../aaa_zvol/aaa_zvol (the zvol exported from the aaa_zvol pool) When I run the array in a degraded mode, ie place one of the drives in the offline state, the kernel doesn''t seem to spike. When I put the offline drive online and resliver, the 100% kernel usage appears when transferring from the network to the full operational array. I remove each of the drives in turn and tried this experiment, so it doesn''t seem to be down to a specific drive/interface. I wonder if using a zvol as part of a raidz is an issue? Also, c...

I''m looking to move our file storage from Windows to Opensolaris/zfs. The windows box will be connected through 10g for iscsi to the storage. The windows box will continue to serve the windows clients and will be hosting approximately 4TB of data. The physical box is a sunfire x4240, single AMD 2435 processor, 16G ram, LSI 3801E HBA, ixgbe 10g card. I''m looking for suggestions

The default blocksize is 128K. If you are using mirrors, then each block on disk will be 128K whenever possible. But if you''re using raidzN with a capacity of M disks (M disks useful capacity + N disks redundancy) then the block size on each individual disk will be 128K / M. Right? This is one of the reasons the raidzN resilver code is inefficient. Since you end up waiting for the
