On Solaris 10 If I install using ZFS root on only one drive is there a way to add another drive as a mirror later? Sorry if this was discussed already. I searched the archives and couldn''t find the answer. Thank you.

Banging my head against a Seagate 3TB USB3 drive. Its marketing name is: Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STAY3000102 format(1M) shows it identify itself as: Seagate-External-SG11-2.73TB Under both Solaris 10 and Solaris 11x, I receive the evil message: | I/O request is not aligned with 4096 disk sector size. | It is handled through Read Modify Write but the performance

This is probably unreproducible, but I just got a panic whilst scrubbing a simple mirrored pool on scxe snv124. Evidently on of the disks went offline for some reason and shortly thereafter the panic happened. I have the dump and the /var/adm/messages containing the trace. Is there any point in submitting a bug report? The panic starts with: Jan 19 13:27:13 host6

I''ve hit this bug on four of my Solaris 11 servers. Looking for anyone else who has seen it, as well as comments/speculation on cause. This bug is pretty bad. If you are lucky you can import the pool read-only and migrate it elsewhere. I''ve also tried setting zfs:zfs_recover=1,aok=1 with varying results. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E28978/gmkgj.html#scrolltoc

Hi, once I created a zpool of single vdevs not using mirroring of any kind. Now I wonder if it''s possible to add vdevs and mirror the currently existing ones. Thanks, budy -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi all, I lost my storage because rpool don''t boot. I try to recover, but opensolaris says to "destroy and re-create". My rpool installed on flash drive, and my pool (with my info) it''s on another disks. My question is: It''s possible I reinstall opensolaris in new flash drive, without stirring on my pool of disks, and recover this pool? Thanks. Regards, --

I''m using Solaris 10u6 updated to u7 via patches, and I have a pool with a mirrored pair and a (shared) hot spare. We reconfigured disks a while ago and now the controller is c4 instead of c2. The hot spare was originally on c2, and apparently on rebooting it didn''t get found. So, I looked up what the new name for the hot spare was, then added it to the pool with "zpool

Hi all, I''m trying to delete a zpool and when I do, I get this error: # zpool destroy oradata_fs1 cannot open ''oradata_fs1'': I/O error # The pools I have on this box look like this: #zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT oradata_fs1 532G 119K 532G 0% DEGRADED - rpool 136G 28.6G 107G 21% ONLINE - # Why

So, my Areca controller has been complaining via email of read errors for a couple days on SATA channel 8. The disk finally gave up last night at 17:40. I got to say I really appreciate the Areca controller taking such good care of me. For some reason, I wasn''t able to log into the server last night or in the morning, probably because my home dir was on the zpool with the failed disk

I have Solaris 10 U7 that is exporting ZFS filesytem. The client is Solaris 9 U7. I can mount the filesytem just fine but I am unable to write to it. showmount -e shows my mount is set for everyone. the dfstab file has option rw set. So what gives?

I''m looking for a way to backup my entire system, the rpool zfs pool to an external HDD so that it can be recovered in full if the internal HDD fails. Previously with Solaris 10 using UFS I would use ufsdump and ufsrestore, which worked so well, I was very confident with it. Now ZFS doesn''t have an exact replacement of this so I need to find a best practice to replace it.

Hi, I wanted to add a disk to the tank pool to create a mirror. I accidentally used zpool add ? instead of zpool attach ? and now the disk is added. Is there a way to remove the disk without loosing data? Or maybe change it to mirror? Thanks, Martijn -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

In 2007 I bought 6 WD1600JS 160GB sata disks and used 4 to create a raidz storage pool and then shelved the other two for spares. One of the disks failed last night so I shut down the server and replaced it with a spare. When I tried to zpool replace the disk I get: zpool replace tank c10t0d0 cannot replace c10t0d0 with c10t0d0: device is too small The 4 original disk partition tables look like

hello, all I am have constraint disk space (only 8GB) while running os inside vm. Now i want to add more. It is easy to add for vm but how can i update fs in os? I cannot use autoexpand because it doesn''t implemented in my system: $ uname -a SunOS sopen 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc If it was 171 it would be grate, right? Doing following: o added new virtual HDD (it becomes

Hello, There is a feature of zfs (autoexpand, or zpool online -e ) that it can consume the increased LUN immediately and increase the zpool size. That would be a very useful ( vital ) feature in enterprise environment. Though when I tried to use it, it did not work. LUN expanded and visible in format, but zpool did not increase. I found a bug SUNBUG:6430818 (Solaris Does Not Automatically

Hi, I had a hot spare used to replace a failed drive, but then the drive appears to be fine anyway. After clearing the error it shows that the drive was resilvered, but keeps the spare in use. zpool status pool2 pool: pool2 state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pool2 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2

What does it mean for the reported value of a zvol volsize to be less than the product of used and compressratio? For example, # zfs get -p all home1/home1mm01 NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE home1/home1mm01 type volume - home1/home1mm01 creation 1254440045 - home1/home1mm01 used 14902492672
