I''ve blogged about the trade-offs for space, performance, and MTTDL (RAS) for ZFS and RAID in general. http://blogs.sun.com/relling/entry/zfs_raid_recommendations_space_performance Enjoy. -- richard

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 zfsers Just wanted to ping the list since one of the osunix/grub devs has been working hard at porting zfs to grub2. I don''t think he''s subscribed to zfs-discuss so quoting his original email and cc''ing him. Drop by #osunix on freenode if you''re interested in the raidz/compressed rpool support

Hi, Is it possible to attach another qdisq under a HFSC classfull ? I try it and the configuraton works : $TC qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: hfsc default 30 $TC class add dev $dev parent 1: classid 1:1 hfsc sc rate ${RATE}mbit ul rate ${RATE}mbit $TC class add dev $dev parent 1:1 classid 1:10 hfsc rt umax 1500b dmax 30ms rate 200kbit $TC class add dev $dev

Short question: I''m curious as to how ZFS manages space (free and used) and how its usage interacts with thin provisioning provided by HDS arrays. Is there any effort to minimize the number of provisioned disk blocks that get writes so as to not negate any space benefits that thin provisioning may give? Background & more detailed questions: In Jeff Bonwick''s blog[1], he

I sent a zvol from host a, to host b, twice. Host b has two pools, one ashift=9, one ashift=12. I sent the zvol to each of the pools on b. The original source pool is ashift=9, and an old revision (2009_06 because it''s still running xen). I sent it twice, because something strange happened on the first send, to the ashift=12 pool. "zfs list -o space" showed figures at

I''m playing around with ZFS and want to figure out the best use of my 6x 300GB SATA drives. The purpose of the drives is to store all of my data at home (video, photos, music, etc). I''m debating between: 6x 300GB disks in a single raidz2 pool --or-- 2x (3x 300GB disks in a pool) mirrored I''ve read up a lot on ZFS, but I can''t really figure out which is

Hi, sorry if I am brining up old news, but I couldn''t find a good answer searching the previous posts (My mom always says I am bad with finding things :) However I noticed a difference when creating a zfs filesystem compared with a vxfs filesystem in the available size. ie. ZFS zonedata/zfs [b]392G[/b] 120G 272G 31% /zfs VxFS /dev/vx/dsk/zonedg/zonevol

Hello, Daniel, Apparently your data is represented by rather small files (thus many small data blocks), so proportion of metadata is relatively high, and your<4k blocks are now using at least 4k disk space. For data with small blocks (a 4k volume on an ashift=12 pool) I saw metadata use up most of my drive - becoming equal to data size. Just for the sake of completeness, I brought up a

I write about R every weekday at the Revolutions blog: http://blog.revolution-computing.com In case you missed them, here are some articles from last month of particular interest to R users. http://bit.ly/2HPlOe announced a directory of R user groups available on the Revolutions blog. http://bit.ly/12u7e7 noted that the Society of Actuaries promotes R with a regular column. http://bit.ly/Kh8eL

Happy Friday, List! I''m spec''ing out a Thumper-esque solution and having trouble finding my favorite Hitachi Ultrastar 2TB drives at a reasonable post-flood price. The Seagate Constellations seem pretty reasonable given the market circumstances but I don''t have any experience with them. Anybody using these in their ZFS systems and have you had good luck? Also, if

Thanks for quick reply Andreas! > Every class is allowed to use bandwidth as long as it does not have to > borrow (the specified rate is guaranteed). Prio in HTB only affects > borrowing bandwidth from other classes... In the example below, the class > 1:5 should be allowed to borrow bandwidth before 1:14 does. Thats exactly what I want from HTB to do..to prio the borrowed bandwidth.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 zpool and zfs report different free space because zfs takes into account an internal reservation of 32MB or 1/64 of the capacity of the pool, what is bigger. So in a 2TB Harddisk, the reservation would be 32 gigabytes. Seems a bit excessive to me... - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea at jcea.es -

Hello... Im trying to setup HTB to allow me to shape traffic from two upstreams that meets on single lan0 interface. I prefer to use HTB qdisc within HTB root qdisc for cleaner rules design. Seems that it doesnt work at all. tc -s class show doesnt show any traffic on other classes attached to HTB qdisc. Linux 2.6.20.7 iproute-2.6.20-070313 Weird thing is that tc -s class show that 1: and 2:

I see in NexentaStor''s announcement of Community Edition 3.0.3 they mention some backported patches in this release. Aside from their management features / UI what is the core OS difference if we move to Nexenta from OpenSolaris b134? These DeDup bugs are my main frustration - if a staff member does a rm * in a directory with dedup you can take down the whole storage server - all with

Hi, I''m preparing a personal TPC-H benchmark. The goal is not to measure or optimize the database performance, but to compare ZFS to UFS in similar configurations. At the moment I''m preparing the tests at home. The test setup is as follows: . Solaris snv_37 . 2 x AMD Opteron 252 . 4 GB RAM . 2 x 80 GB ST380817AS . Oracle 10gR2 (small SGA (320m)) The disks also contain the OS

Today I''ve noticed a bit strange (?) behaviour when prio qdisc is used. Example (having no filters/qdisc/etc. at the start) : Add simple 9 bands qdisc, set each mapping to lowest priority band: tc qdisc add dev $eth root handle 1: prio bands 9 priomap 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 If I do just that, all is fine - whole traffic ends in 9th band, what can easily be verified by tc -s
