Hi, for zfs raidz1, I know for random io, iops of a raidz1 vdev eqaul to one physical disk iops, since raidz1 is like raid5 , so is raid5 has same performance like raidz1? ie. random iops equal to one physical disk''s ipos. Regards Victor -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hello, Im about to migrate a 6Tb database from Veritas Volume Manager to ZFS, I want to set arc_max parameter so ZFS cant use all my system''s memory, but i dont know how much i should set, do you think 24Gb will be enough for a 6Tb database? obviously the more the better but i cant set too much memory. Have someone implemented succesfully something similar? We ran some test and the

Hello, I was doing performance testing, validating zvol performance in particularly, and found that zvol write performance to be slow ~35-44MB/s at 1MB blocksize writes. I then tested the underlying zfs file system with the same test and got 121MB/s. Is there any way to fix this? I really would like to have compatible performance between the zfs filesystem and the zfs zvols. # first test is a

A customer has a zpool where their spectral analysis applications create a ton (millions?) of very small files that are typically 1858 bytes in length. They''re using ZFS because UFS consistently runs out of inodes. I''m assuming that ZFS aggregates these little files into recordsize (128K?) blobs for writes. This seems to go reasonably well amazingly enough. Reads are a

We have been using ZFS for user home directories for a good while now. When we discovered the problem with full filesystems not allowing deletes over NFS, we became very anxious to fix this; our users fill their quotas on a fairly regular basis, so it''s important that they have a simple recourse to fix this (e.g., rm). I played around with this on my OpenSolaris box at home, read around

Is ZFS efficient at handling huge populations of tiny-to-small files - for example, 20 million TIFF images in a collection, each between 5 and 500k in size? I am asking because I could have sworn that I read somewhere that it isn''t, but I can''t find the reference. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

I''m working with a Cyrus IMAP server running on a T2000 box under Solaris 10 10/09 with current patches. Mailboxes reside on six ZFS filesystems, each containing about 200 gigabytes of data. These are part of a single zpool built on four Iscsi devices from our Netapp filer. One of these ZFS filesystems contains a number of global and per-user databases in addition to one sixth of the

I have some questions about the choice of SSDs to use for ZIL and L2ARC. I''m trying to build an OpenSolaris iSCSI SAN out of a whitebox system, which is intended to be used as a backup SAN during storage migration, so it''s built on a tight budget. The system currently has 4GB RAM, 3GHz Core2-Quad and 8x 500GB WD REII SATA HDDs attached to an Areca 8port ARC-1220 controller

We are looking into the possibility of adding a dedicated ZIL and/or L2ARC devices to our pool. We are looking into getting 4 ? 32GB Intel X25-E SSD drives. Would this be a good solution to slow write speeds? We are currently sharing out different slices of the pool to windows servers using comstar and fibrechannel. We are currently getting around 300MB/sec performance with 70-100% disk busy.

I have two questions regarding number portability... 1) If I port a DID over to Voicepulse, can I then move that DID elsewhere somewhere down the road. Or does voicepulse now OWN that DID? 2) Can I take a DID assigned by Voicepulse and transfer it to someone else? If not, why? -jwb

I'm running RedHat 8.0 with samba-2.2.7-5.8.0 (installed from RedHat distribution) When I use cpio to write a backup (> 2GB) to a smbfs filesystem, I get the error: File size limit exceeded I get the same error when I linux copy (cp) a file (> 2GB) from a Linux ext3 filesystem to the smbfs filesystem. The smbfs filesystem is mounted from a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. After

Hi everyone, I have just installed Solaris and have added a 3x500GB raidz drive array. I am able to use this pool (''tank'') successfully locally, but when I try to share it remotely, I can only read, I cannot execute or write. I didn''t do anything other than the default ''zfs set sharenfs=on tank''... how can I get it so that any allowed user can access

I''m running on s10s_u4wos_12b and doing the following test. Create a pool, striped across 4 physical disks from a storage array. Write a 100GB file to the filesystem (dd from /dev/zero out to the file). Run I/O against that file, doing 100% random writes with an 8K block size. zpool iostat shows the following... capacity operations bandwidth pool used

Hi Everyone, I perform a snapshot and a zfs send on a filesystem with a recordsize of 16k, and redirect the output to a plain file. Later, I use cat sentfs | zfs receive otherpool/filesystem. In this case the new filesystem''s recordsize will be the default 128k again. The other filesystem attributes (for example atime) are reverted to defaults too. Okay, I can set these later,

Would it be worthwhile to implement heuristics to auto-tune ''recordsize'', or would that not be worth the effort? -- Regards, Jeremy

Hi, I am trying to create a table with information from Shapiro Wilk's test of normality. However, it fails due to lack of sample size, it says, but the way I see it, this is not a problem. (See the table of sample sizes (almost) at the bottom). Applying a different function using a similar ftable call is not a problem (See the bottom table). This is R 2.1.0 on Linux (Gentoo). /Fredrik

Is there any chance for rdiff ? I need to frequently synchronize big text file (60MB+) undertaking small changes and I am interested in differences between the subsequent versions [DNS RBL data in dnsbl format, 1E6+ lines of text, new version every 20m, on average 50 new entries (lines) in every synchronization] I would like to get (small) diff file as result of rsync session and apply it to

This is a subject that came up in the virtio BOF session at OLS. I decided to go forward and implement something that I like, based on the latest virtio proposal at the time, which was draft III. It's not a drop-in replacement, because it's missing a host implementation. I first started my own, which is not done yet, but wanted to do one for lguest and one for emulated PCI next. It's
