similar to: cloning disk with zpool

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

Already making use of it, thank you! http://www.justinconover.com/blog/?p=17 I took 6x250gb disk and tried raidz2/raidz/none # zpool create zfs raidz2 c0d0 c1d0 c2d0 c3d0 c7d0 c8d0 df -h zfs Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on zfs 915G 49K 915G 1% /zfs # zpool destroy -f zfs Plain old raidz (raid-5ish) # zpool create zfs raidz c0d0

i''ve got a little zpool with a naughty raidz vdev that won''t take a replacement that as far as i can tell should be adequate. a history: this could well be some bizarro edge case, as the pool doesn''t have the cleanest lineage. initial creation happened on NexentaCP inside vmware in linux. i had given the virtual machine raw device access to 4 500gb drives and 1 ~200gb

As mentioned last night, we''ve been reviewing a proposal for hot spare support in ZFS. Below you can find a current draft of the proposed interfaces. This has not yet been submitted for ARC review, but comments are welcome. Note that this does not include any enhanced FMA diagnosis to determine when a device is "faulted". This will come in a follow-on project, of which some

Hey, I''m currently running on Nexenta alpha 6 and I have some corrupted data in a pool. The output from sudo zpool status -v data is: pool: data > state: ONLINE > status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data > corruption.

Hi all, we have just bought a sun X2200M2 (4GB / 2 opteron 2214 / 2 disks 250GB SATA2, solaris 10 update 4) and a sun STK 2540 FC array (8 disks SAS 146 GB, 1 raid controller). The server is attached to the array with a single 4 Gb Fibre Channel link. I want to make a mirror using ZFS with this array. I have created 2 volumes on the array in RAID0 (stripe of 128 KB) presented to the host

Hello, I had snv_111b running for a while on a HP DL160G5. With two 16GB USB sticks comprising the mirrored rpool for boot. And four 1TB drives comprising another pool, pool1, for data. So that''s been working just fine for a few months. Yesterday I get it into my mind to upgrade the OS to latest, then was snv_127. That worked, and all was well. Also did an upgrade to the

My system (a laptop with ZFS root and boot, SNV 64A) on which I was trying Opensolaris now has the zpool-related kernel panic reboot loop. Booting into failsafe mode or another solaris installation and attempting: ''zpool import -F rootpool'' results in a kernel panic and reboot. A search shows this type of kernel panic has been discussed on this forum over the last year.

Machine is running x86 snv_94 after recent upgrade from opensolaris 2008.05. ZFS and zpool reported no troubles except suggesting upgrade for from ver.10 to ver.11. seemed like a good idea at the time. system up for several days after that point then took down for some unrelated maintenance. now will not boot the opensol, drops to grub prompt, no menus. zfs was mirrored on two disks c6d0s0 and

hi all, i would like to ask some questions regarding best practices for zfs recovery if disk errors occur. currently i have zfs boot (nv62) and the following setup: 2 si3224 controllers (each 4 sata disks) 8 sata disks, same size, same type i have two pools: a) rootpool b) datapool the rootpool is a mirrored pool, where every disk has a slice (the s0, which is 5 % of the whole disk) and this

Hi folks, I''ve been asked to post my experiences here, so... well, here goes :) (in no particular order). We can view bugs in kernel/xen via bugs.opensolaris.org, but not file them against kernel/xen. Could that be added to the list of categories for submission? There''s kind of a composite set of problems with bootadm(1M). While the modified bootadm will update

One of my disks in the zfs raidz2 pool developed some mechanical faliure and had to be replaced. It is possible that I may have swaped the sata cables during the exchange, but this has never been a problem before in my previous tests. What concerns me is the output from zpool status for the c2d0 disk. The exchanged disk is now c3d0 but is no longer a part of the pool?! This is build_75 on x86

I was running solaris 10 6/06 with latest kernel patch on ultra 20 (x86) with two internal disks, the root with the OS (c1d0) as UFS and the userland data on c2d0s7 formatted as ZFS. An update made the system unusable and required reinstallation of the OS on c1d0 (solaris 6/06). I cannot figure out how to remount the second drive c2d0s7 which is formatted as ZFS. I have not created any ZFS

So, I''m into templating. I *like* templating. What I *don''t* like, of course, is to have to use multiple, similar templates for different output files. So, let''s work a concrete example. Suppose I have a template "standard_profile.erb" which looks like this: install_type initial_install > > system_type standalone > > partitioning

I''m attempting to expand a root pool for a VMware VM that is on an 8GB virtual disk. I mirrored it to a 20GB disk and detached the 8GB disk. I did "installgrub" to install grub onto the second virtual disk, but I get a kernel panic when booting. Is there an extra step I need to perform to get this working? Basically I did this: 1. Created a new 20GB virtual disk. 2. Booted
