I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) an...

...stand the mechanism of zfs a bit better. Q: what is the design/algorithm of zfs in terms of reclaiming unused blocks? Q: what criteria is there for zfs to start reclaiming blocks Issue at hand is an LDOM or zone running in a virtual (thin-provisioned) disk on a NFS server and a zpool inside that vdisk. This vdisk tends to grow in size even if the user writes and deletes a file again. Question is, whether this reclaiming of unused blocks can kick in earlier, so that the filesystem doesn''t grow much more than what is actually allocated? Thanks, heinz -- Heinz Zerbes Securit...

Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has any in site as to how to import a VMware vmdk into xVM on OpenSolaris 2009.06 (xVM 3.1). I have a VMware VM created on VMware Server 2.0 and would like to move it over to this xVM server. I appreciate any advice anyone may have. Cheers, -Chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo. You can now translate data from one virtual disk data type to another without creating a virtual disk. This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly translate the data into a zvol without having to import it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol...

I created a xen domU and using the Virtual Machine Manager. This created a large file on a zfs filesystem (in /var/lib/xen/images) containing the virtual disk image. Is there a better way to create a virtual disk? Does zpool/zfs allow to create special devices/filesystems with better I/O performance than a file over a zfs space? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

After a crash, in my zpool tree, some dataset report this we i do a ls -la: brwxrwxrwx 2 777 root 0, 0 Oct 18 2009 mail-cts also if i set zfs set mountpoint=legacy dataset and then i mount the dataset to other location before the directory tree was only : dataset - vdisk.raw The file was a backing device of a Xen VM, but i cannot access the directory structure of this dataset. However i can send a snapshot of this dataset to another system, but the same behavior occurs. If i do zdb -dddd dataset at the end of the output i can se the references to my file: O...

...for managing virtual disks (disk file images). There are some difference from a linux dom0. This is available in b101 @ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd_1/ This allows you to create and manage vmdk and vdi (Virtual Box) disk files. By default, virt-install will now use a vmdk vdisk when a non existing disk file is passed in. Please have fun, play, ask questions, and give us feedback. Thanks, MRJ More information can be found in the vdiskadm(1M) manpage. We are continuing to work on additional functionality over the next few months, including: o support for unmanage...

Hello, I have a situation where a host, which is booted off its ''rpool'', need to temporarily import the ''rpool'' of another host, edit some files in it, and export the pool back retaining its original name ''rpool''. Can this be done ? Here is what I am trying to do: # zpool import -R /a rpool temp-rpool # zfs set mountpoint=/mnt
