Do we simply use a portion of the existing disks for this, or add two disks just for root? Use USB-2 flash as those 2 disks? And where does swap go? The default install in Osol 0811 (which is what I just upgraded my home NAS to) gives you a zfs root pool that

Hi all, I have been looking at various alternatives for a system that runs several Linux & Windows guests. So far my favorite choice would be OpenSolaris+ZFS+RAIDZ+VirtualBox. Is this combo ready to be a host for Linux & Windows guests? Or is it not 100% stable (yet)? Greetings, Evert This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, ZFS drew my attention and I''m thinking of using it to manage the storage for a virtual machine host. The plan is to get a Core i7 machine with 12GB RAM and 6 SATA disks (+1 PATA for boot/swap), configure the 6 disks in a tank of mirrored pairs and keep on that pool a number of virtual machines used for development and testing. I would have 8-10 of them running at the same time. The

Hello everybody. I wrote a small patch in order to support what I think is an absolutely needed feature in order to make rsync-based backups retaining complete ownership permission when writing to an opensolaris machine using --fake-super. My goal is making backups of linux boxes to opensolaris/zfs. In order to make it work just do patch -p1 < patch_file.txt inside rsync source tree. and

On Coraids (Inventor of AoE) website, they claim the?r drivers will also work on Solaris. So my question is: Will there be any technical limitations regarding implementation of ZFS and AoE ? If not yet possible, the developers of OpenSolaris might consider this option as a natural step I guess. What do You people think ? With cheap disk attachments over an ethernet, and with ZFS, I think

Not sure where to put this but I am cc''ing the ZFS - discussion board. I was successfull in creating iscsi shares using ZFS set shareiscsi=on with 2 thin provisioned partitions of 1TB each (zfs create -s -V 1tb idrive/d1). Access to the shares with an iscsi initiator was successful, all was smooth, until the reboot. Upon reboot, the console reports the following errors. WARNING:

I''ve seen the Nexenta and EON webpages, but I''m not looking to build my own. Is there anything out there I can just buy? -Kyle

Does anyone know of a prebuilt Solaris or Nexenta DomU with a ZFS root that uses paravirtualization? I''ve been mulling over the directions for both, but my Xen DomU is Fedora for the moment. (I hope to use OpenSolaris as my Dom0 at some point, but due to lack of hardware and time, I need to build the VMs first before I format my home-server.) Thanks, -Luke

Hi, Well I have a freshly built system with ZFS raidz. Intel P4 2.4 Ghz 1GB Ram Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (2) Intel Dual Port 1Gbit nics I have (5) 300GB disks in a Raidz1 with Zfs. I''ve created a couple of FS on this. /export/downloads /export/music /export/musicraw I''ve shared these out as well. First with ZFS ''zfs

I''ve installed Open Solaris 2009.06 on a machine with 5 identical 1TB wd green drives to create a ZFS nas. The intended install is one drive dedicated to the OS and the remaining 4 drives in a raidz1 configuration. The install is working fine, but creating the raidz1 pool and rebooting is causing the machine report "Cannot find active partition" upon reboot. Below is command

Long answer: if you have the sources for an application written in C or C++ for Windows, you may be able to recompile it for Linux for zSeries using Winelib, although some extra work may be required to finish porting winelib to zSeries; see

Hi All, Is there a way to tune the zfs prefetch on a per pool basis? I have a customer that is seeing slow performance on a pool the contains multiple tablespaces from an Oracle database, looking at the LUNs associated to that pool they are constantly at 80% - 100% busy. Looking at the output from arcstat for the miss % on data, prefetch and metadata we are getting around 5 - 10 % on data,

Hello, I am having a problem destroying zfs snapshots. The machine is almost not responding for more than 4 hours, after I started the command and I can''t run anything else during that time - I get (bash): fork: Resource temporarily unavailable - errors. The machine is still responding somewhat, but very, very slow. It is: P4, 2.4 GHz with 512 MB RAM, 8 x 750 GB disks as raidZ,

Hello, in the last weeks I evaluated ext3 on the IBM Mainframe S/390 and IBM zSeries. (32 bit, big endian, 64 bit big endian) Ext3 had to face high stress tests, low memory situations, spontaneous resets as well as hardware failure simulations. I tested file system integrity,log replay and stability with ordered and journal mode. All with 32 and 64 bit. I think ext3 has reached a very stable

If it''s of interest, I''ve written up some articles on my experiences of building a ZFS NAS box which you can read here: http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/a-home-fileserver-using-zfs/ I used CIFS to share the filesystems, but it will be a simple matter to use NFS instead: issue the command ''zfs set sharenfs=on pool/filesystem'' instead of ''zfs set
