Hi world, I have a 10-disk RAID-Z2 system with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo. It''s exporting ~280 filesystems over NFS to about half a dozen machines. Under some loads (in particular, any attempts to rsync between another machine and this one over SSH), the machine''s load average sometimes goes insane (27+), and it appears to all be in kernel-land (as nothing in

Today, I ran a scrub on my rootFS pool. I received the following lovely output: # zpool status larger_root ? pool: larger_root ?state: ONLINE ?scrub: scrub completed after 307445734561825856h29m with 0 errors on Wed Jul 15 21:49:02 2009 config: ???????

Hi all, I recently created a RAID-Z1 pool out of a set of 7 SCSI disks, using the following command: # zpool create magicant raidz c5t0d0 c5t1d0 c5t2d0 c5t3d0 c5t4d0 c5t5d0 c5t6d0 It worked fine, but I was slightly confused by the size yield (99 GB vs the 116 GB I had on my other RAID-Z1 pool of same-sized disks). I thought one of the disks might have been to blame, so I tried swapping it out

Hail, caesar. I''ve got a 10-disk RAID-Z2 backed by the 1.5 TB Seagate drives everyone''s so fond of. They''ve all received a firmware upgrade (the sane one, not the one that caused your drives to brick if the internal event log hit the wrong number on boot). They''re attached to an ARC-1280ML, a reasonably good SATA controller, which has 1 GB of ECC DDR2 for

So I have attached to my system two 7-disk SCSI arrays, each of 18.2 GB disks. Each of them is a RAID-Z1 zpool. I had a disk I thought was a dud, so I pulled the fifth disk in my array and put the dud in. Sure enough, Solaris started spitting errors like there was no tomorrow in dmesg, and wouldn''t use the disk. Ah well. Remove it, put the original back in - hey, Solaris still thinks
