Dear all, given a DVD drive and DAT Tape Drive, and using Solaris 10 U7 (5/09), how can we plan for a total backup of ZFS root disk and procedure to recover that? Previously using UFS, we just need to use boot from Solaris OS DVD media, also using ufsdump, ufsrestore and installboot. Anybody can point me on how to achieve the same thing when the whole system disk are busted? Thanks in

I looked into backing up ZFS and quite honostly I can''t say I am convinced about its usefullness here when compared to the traditional ufsdump/restore. While snapshots are nice they can never substitute offline backups. And although you can keep quite some snapshots lying about it will consume diskspace, one of the reasons why people also keep offline backups. However, while you can make

In the process of tar''ing up files in an older ZFS partition (23.6.2005), the tar command seized up. Truss showed it hanging in stat64(), so I went looking for symptoms. In "zpool status -ve", I found "4" in the SUM column. Being from the old school, I did "dmesg", expecting to see some kernel error message about the disk but found nothing. Is there

Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

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.

how does one free segment(offset=77984887808 size=66560) on a pool that won''t import? looks like I found http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6580715 http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2007-September/042541.html when I luupgrade a ufs partition with a dvd-b62 that was bfu to b68 with a dvd of b74 it booted fine and I was doing the same thing that I had done on

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

For people who want to try hacking on the linux kernel with llvm, here is a head start: http://llvm.org/~alenhar2/k.tbz This is a 2.6.27.5 kernel with a .config file for qemu/kvm with virtio devices (I also think it will work with the default devices). The build process uses llvm-gcc -> opt -> llc so you can add your own (per-file) passes to the build process or debug specific passes.

One other note I forgot... sig_sysreturn (arch/x86/kernel/signal_32.c) has a magic fudge factor to fix up stack layout differences between llvm and gcc. If when you hit userspace you get signal handling errors, look at the frame addresses printed out and adjust the fudge factor to make the frame addresses match. (the code automatically enables the debug output after the first signal frame

Now that Solaris 10 11/06 is available, I wanted to post the complete list of ZFS features and bug fixes that were included in that release. I''m also including the necessary patches for anyone wanting to get all the ZFS features and fixes via patches (NOTE: later patch revision may already be available): Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06) Patches sparc Patches * 118833-36 SunOS 5.10:

If I were to lose my main hard drive, I would like to have the opportunity to do the same as I can do using Windows: restore from my USB and have a working system. If I were to rsync everything on the main drive (excluding the backup drive, of course and a few other directories) to my USB drive, could I restore using some CD based version of Linux e.g. Knoppix?

Hi all, What is the current preferred method for backing up ZFS data pools, preferably using free ($0.00) software, and assuming that access to individual files (a la ufsbackup/ufsrestore) is required?

Does anyone have a solution for the problem of file and directory names containing characters which are OK in DOS/Windows but illegal (or at least unwise) in Unix? I have Windows clients who have written directory names containing "$" characters to Samba shares on a Solaris box. This is fine for the clients, but plays havoc with Solaris programs needing to access the files, eg. backups

Hello, Was thinking it would be wise to backup my server, in case anything "bad" ever happened, so that I could quickly get up to speed. 1. clone the whole drive -- which might be the best to ensure I keep the whole system working. 2. But, what about, if I just wanted to backup my Email server components? Postfix - which I think is just config files, and Dovecot - I think there is a

Hi folks, Here's the situation. I have a group of engineers who love to save things to disk. Now that the filer is getting full, they are interested in archiving some of those things to DVD. The tress containing the things they want to archive are specified like so: /path/path/path/A/04?? /path/path/path/B/04?? /path/path/path/A/05?? /path/path/path/B/05?? /path/path/path/A/06??

I'm having trouble with adapt. I'm trying to use it in a Bayesian setting, to integrate the posterior distribution, and to find posterior means.
