similar to: ZFS automatic snapshots SMF service updated

Hey All, So, just to get this idea out of my brain, and on to the screen, I''ve got a prototype of a mechanism that takes automatic snapshots. More info (and a tarball!) from my blog at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/timf?entry=zfs_automatic_snapshots_prototype_1 cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Operating Platforms Group Engineering Operations

Hi all, I''ve just pushed some of the changes coming up in 0.11 hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/jds/zfs-snapshot I''ve got some commentary on the Early Access nature of this release at: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_0_11 Comments (and bug reports) welcome! cheers, tim

hi everyone, I am planning on creating a local SAN via NFS(v4) and several redundant nodes. I have been using DRBD on linux before and now am asking whether some of you have experience on on-demand network filesystem mirrors. I have yet little Solaris sysadmin know how, but i am interesting whether there is an on-demand support for sending snapshots. I.e. not via a cron job, but via a

Hi guys, after reading the mailings yesterday i noticed someone was after upgrading to zfs v21 (deduplication) i''m after the same, i installed osol-dev-127 earlier which comes with v19 and then followed the instructions on http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/en/index.shtml to bring my system up to date, however, the system is reporting no updates are available and stays at zfs v19, any ideas?

Hi everyone, Is there an easy way to find out which files has changed between two snapshots? Currently I''m doing a # rsync -arvn <snapshot1> <snapshot2> and it creates a list. But rsync needs to go through the whole filesystem and compare files. It would be nice if zfs would have this option builtin. Regards, Nickus

I don''t seem to have access to the web administration interface. It worked fine up to svn_B37, but B38 and B39 don''t appear to have it deployed. I can start the web console server "/usr/sbin/smcwebserver start" and log in as root but ZFS does not appear in the list of applications. Is there something additional I need to do?

I have created a script that gets a snapshot and backs the snapshot to tape. I would like to keep the snapshot around for one week, than destroy it using the following command: "zfs destroy snapshotlvolume." Is there a way to automate the destroying of snapshots that are older that x amount of days? This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or

Anyone ever thought of making the service type in puppet able to deploy new services? I''m not sure this would be useful for all OSes, since package management systems generally install init scripts. Well it''d still be useful for Linux if you''re managing any customized services. For Solaris, it''d be great if I could just give puppet an SMF XML file, and say

Hi, I was just wondering if ZFS root is likely to be an install option any time soon, either in SXCR or the June Solaris update? The mechanism at Tabriz''s blog seem to work well, but it''d be nice to get it out of the box. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/

Hi, I''m thinking about the following situation and I know there are some things I have to understand: I want to use two SUN-Servers with the same amount of storage capacity on both of them and I want to replicate the filesystem ( zfs ) incrementally two times a day from the first to the second one. I know that the zfs send/receive commands will do the job, but I don''t

Hi all, I have an NFS server on our network sharing out package files for Puppet to install to all and sundry. The clients access said NFS server via an automounter configuration (I don''t want the packages share mounted all the time, only when installing packages) As a result, installation of packages depends on autofs... So I have the following: service { "autofs": ensure

Hi Is it possible to convert live 3 disks zpool from raidz to raidz2 And is it possible to add 1 new disk to raidz configuration without backups and recreating zpool from cratch. Thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org

Okay, so now that I''m planning to build my NAS using ZFS, I now need to devise or learn of a preexisting method to receive notification of ZFS handled errors on a remote machine. For example, if a disk fails and I don''t regularly login or SSH into the ZFS server, I''d like an email or some other notification immediately of the ZFS event. Are there already ways to do

Hello I'm in the process of putting SMB onto a dual Opteron x64 box running Solaris 10, with the SFW samba as supplied by Sun. I haven't found any hooks for this for the new SMF/SVC startup system, so I'm doing so now, but before I go any further, am I duplicating any efforts? Is anyone else doing this and has done it? At present I'm only starting smbd and nmbd (I never really
