similar to: zpool attach vs. zpool iostat

I''ve got a zpool that has 4 raidz2 vdevs each with 4 disks (750GB), plus 4 spares. At one point 2 disks failed (in different vdevs). The message in /var/adm/messages for the disks were ''device busy too long''. Then SMF printed this message: Nov 23 04:23:51 x.x.com EVENT-TIME: Fri Nov 23 04:23:51 EST 2007 Nov 23 04:23:51 x.x.com PLATFORM: Sun Fire X4200 M2, CSN:

Hello zfs-discuss, If you do ''zpool create -f test A B C spare D E'' and D or E contains UFS filesystem then despite of -f zpool command will complain that there is UFS file system on D. workaround: create a test pool with -f on D and E, destroy it and that create first pool with D and E as hotspares. I''ve tested it on s10u3 + patches - can someone confirm

I am curious why zpool status reports a pool to be in the DEGRADED state after a drive in a raidz2 vdev has been successfully replaced. In this particular case drive c0t6d0 was failing so I ran, zpool offline home/c0t6d0 zpool replace home c0t6d0 c8t1d0 and after the resilvering finished the pool reports a degraded state. Hopefully this is incorrect. At this point is the vdev in question now has

I know this topic has been discussed many times... but what the hell makes zpool resilvering so slow? I''m running OpenSolaris 2009.06. I have had a large number of problematic disks due to a bad production batch, leading me to resilver quite a few times, progressively replacing each disk as it dies (and now preemptively removing disks.) My complaint is that resilvering ends up

Dear all Is there a way to stop a running scrub on a zfs pool? Same question applies to a running resilver. Both render our fileserver unusable due to massive CPU load so we''d like to postpone them. In the docs it says that resilvering and scrubbing survive a reboot, so I am not even sure if a reboot would stop scrubbing or resilvering. Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers, Thomas

Hello zfs-discuss, I wonder if ZFS will be able to take any advantage of Niagara''s built-in crypto? -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Hi, I have Dell md1200 connected to two heads ( Dell R710 ). The heads have Perc H800 card and drives are configured in Raid0 ( Virtual Disk) in the RAID controller. One of the drives had crashed and is replaced by a spare. Resilvering was triggered but fails to complete due to drives going offline. I have to reboot the head ( R710) and drives comes online. This happened repeatedly when

I''m trying to write a SLAMD (http://www.slamd.com/) resource monitor that can be used to measure the I/O throughput on a ZFS pool, and in particular to be able to get the read and write rates. In order to do this, I''m basically executing "zpool iostat {interval}" and parsing the output to capture the values in the "bandwidth read" and "bandwidth

I would like zpool iostat to take a "-p" option to output parsable statistics with absolute counters/figures that for example could be fed to MRTG, RRD, et al. The "zpool iostat [-v] POOL 60 [N]" is great for humans but not very api-friendly; N=2 is a bit overkill and unreliable. Is this info available in kstat, or is this an RFE candidate? In Solaris10? Ditto for zpool

When I booted my laptop up this morning it took much longer than normal and there was a lot of disk activity even after I logged in. A quick use of dtrace and iostat revealed that all the writes were to the zpool. I ran zpool status and found that the pool was resilvering. Strange thing is that while the pool is a mirror, one side of it is offline since it is on an external usb disk - which

What is the best way to tell if your bound by the number of individual operations per second / random io? "zpool iostat" has an "operations" column but this doesn''t really tell me if my disks are saturated. Traditional "iostat" doesn''t seem to be the greatest place to look when utilizing zfs. Thanks, Chris -------------- next part -------------- An

I really need to take a longer look here. /* * zpool iostat [-v] [pool] ... [interval [count]] * * -v Display statistics for individual vdevs * * This command can be tricky because we want to be able to deal with pool . . . I think I may need to deal with a raw option here ? /* * Enter the main iostat loop. */ cb.cb_list = list;

Following is the output of "zpool iostat -v". My question is regarding the datapool row and the raidz2 row statistics. The datapool row statistic "write bandwidth" is 381 which I assume takes into account all the disks - although it doesn''t look like it''s an average. The raidz2 row static "write bandwidth" is 36, which is where I am confused. What

Hello experts, I''ve had a lingering question for some time: when I use "zpool iostat -v" the values do not quite sum up. In the example below with a raidz2 array made of 6 drives: * the reported 33K of writes are less than two disks'' workload at this time (at 17.9K each), overall disks writes are 107.4K = 325% of 33K. * write ops sum up to 18 = 225% of 8 ops to

Is there any way to control the resliver speed? Having attached a third disk to a mirror (so I can replace the other disks with larger ones) the resilver goes at a fraction of the speed of the same operation using disk suite. However it still renders the system pretty much unusable for anything else. So I would like to control the rate of the resilver. Either slow it down a lot so that the

Hello ZFSland, Is there any significance in the fact that the bandwidth/read figures for a simple cpio into a ZFS filesystem should be multiples of 21.3K (when non-zero) as follows? What could determine this figure? Do I need to read a manpage? ;-) Thanks... Sean. ----- [root at global:/36g2] # zpool iostat 3 capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read
