Greetings Gentlemen, I''m currently testing a new setup for a ZFS based storage system with dedup enabled. The system is setup on OI 148, which seems quite stable w/ dedup enabled (compared to the OpenSolaris snv_136 build I used before). One issue I ran into, however, is quite baffling: With iozone set to 32 threads, ZFS''s ARC seems to consume all available memory, making

Hi ZFSers, I''ve been working on merging the Joyent arcstat enhancements with some of my own and am now to the point where it is time to broaden the requirements gathering. The result is to be merged into the illumos tree. arcstat is a perl script to show the value of ARC kstats as they change over time. This is similar to the ideas behind mpstat, iostat, vmstat, and friends. The current

Hi, Can anyone identify whether this is a known issue (perhaps 6667208) and if the fix is going to be pushed out to Solaris 10 anytime soon? I''m getting badly beaten up over this weekly, essentially anytime we drop a packet between our twenty-odd iscsi-backed zones and the filer. Chris was kind enough to provide his synopsis here (thanks Chris):

I wrote a simple tool to print out the ARC statistics exported via kstat. Details at http://blogs.sun.com/realneel/entry/zfs_arc_statistics -neel -- --- Neelakanth Nadgir PAE Performance And Availability Eng

We''re planning to build a ZFS-based Solaris NFS fileserver environment with the backend storage being iSCSI-based, in part because of the possibilities for failover. In exploring things in our test environment, I have noticed that ''zpool import'' takes a fairly long time; about 35 to 45 seconds per pool. A pool import time this slow obviously has implications for how fast

We''re currently designing a ZFS fileserver environment with iSCSI based storage (for failover, cost, ease of expansion, and so on). As part of this we would like to use multipathing for extra reliability, and I am not sure how we want to configure it. Our iSCSI backend only supports multiple sessions per target, not multiple connections per session (and my understanding is that the

I am trying to see how ZFS behaves under resource starvation - corner cases in embedded environments. I see some very strange behavior. Any help/explanation would really be appreciated. My current setup is : OpenSolaris 111b (iSCSI seems to be broken in 132 - unable to get multiple connections/mutlipathing) iSCSI Storage Array that is capable of 20 MB/s random writes @ 4k and 70 MB random reads

Hello, ZFS is behaving strange on a OSOL laptop, your thoughts are welcome. I am running OSOL on my laptop, currently b124 and i found that the performance of ZFS is not optimal in all situations. If i check the how much space the package cache for pkg(1) uses, it takes a bit longer on this host than on comparable machine to which i transferred all the data. user at host:/var/pkg$ time

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,

The arc driver uses empty implementations for its encoders. Replace the code with the generic simple encoder.

Dear folks, system: RH 6.1 Linux on a PIII software: installed binaries resulting from rpm --rebuild openssh-1.2.2-1.src.rpm, downloaded from http://the.wiretapped.net/security/cryptography/ssh/OpenSSH/files/openssh-1.2.2-1.src.rpm problem program: ssh-agent problem description: When execute ssh-agent startx -- -bpp 32 ssh-agent does not pass the -bpp 32 to startx. Why problem exists:

I have a semi-theoretical question about the following code in arc.c, arc_reclaim_needed() function: /* * take ''desfree'' extra pages, so we reclaim sooner, rather than later */ extra = desfree; /* * check that we''re out of range of the pageout scanner. It starts to * schedule paging if freemem is less than lotsfree and needfree. * lotsfree is the high-water mark

Hello, First I must say, I am not an expert with arc/info, but one of our users uses it regularly and wants to work with files directly on our samba server, which runs under linux 2.0.36. It seems there are two modules that she regularly uses arc and arc edit. When she does complex, heavy operations such as a 'clean' using arc, it just sticks there permanently after sorting, however doing
