Hello zfs-discuss, I wonder if ZFS will be able to take any advantage of Niagara''s built-in crypto? -- Best regards, Robert Milkowski mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Hello zfs-discuss, What would you rather propose for ZFS+ORACLE - zvols or just files from the performance standpoint? -- Best regards, Robert mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Hello zfs-discuss, Just to be sure - if I create ZFS filesystems on snv_39 and then later I would want just to import that pool on S10U2 - can I safely assume it will just work (I mean nothing new to on-disk format was added or changed in last few snv releases which is not going to be in u2)? I want to put right now (I have to do it now) some data on ZFS and later I want to

Hello zfs-discuss, Relatively low traffic to the pool but sync takes too long to complete and other operations are also not that fast. Disks are on 3510 array. zil_disable=1. bash-3.00# ptime sync real 1:21.569 user 0.001 sys 0.027 During sync zpool iostat and vmstat look like: f3-1 504G 720G 370 859 995K 10.2M misc 20.6M 52.0G 0 0

Hello zfs-discuss, If you do ''zpool create -f test A B C spare D E'' and D or E contains UFS filesystem then despite of -f zpool command will complain that there is UFS file system on D. workaround: create a test pool with -f on D and E, destroy it and that create first pool with D and E as hotspares. I''ve tested it on s10u3 + patches - can someone confirm

If anyone is running this configuration, I have some questions for you about Page83 data errors. This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hello zfs-discuss, Is someone actually working on it? Or any other algorithms? Any dates? -- Best regards, Robert mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

All, I understand that ZFS gives you more error correction when using two LUNS from a SAN. But, does it provide you with less features than UFS does on one LUN from a SAN (i.e is it less stable). Thanks, Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi. System is snv_56 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440, zil_disable=1 We see many operation on nfs clients to that server really slow (like 90 seconds for unlink()). It''s not a problem with network, there''s also plenty oc CPU available. Storage isn''t saturated either. First strange thing - normally on that server nfsd has about 1500-2500 number of threads. I did

Hello zfs-discuss, http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6604198-1 Is there a patch for S10? I thought it''s been fixed. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:rmilkowski at task.gda.pl http://milek.blogspot.com

Is there an existing RFE for, what I''ll wrongly call, "recursively visable snapshots"? That is, .zfs in directories other than the dataset root. Frankly, I don''t need it available in all directories, although it''d be nice, but I do have a need for making it visiable 1 dir down from the dataset root. The problem is that while ZFS and Zones work smoothly

According to zfs(1M) " -v Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the receive. " However when using -v option I only get: receiving full stream of p6/d5212 at r1 into nfs-s5-s8/d5212 at r1 Or maybe it''s due to I pipe send to recv so it''s harder to estimate? I *quickly* glanced at the code it

Is there a best practice guide for using zfs as a basic rackable small storage solution? I''m considering zfs with a 2U 12 disk Xeon based server system vs something like a second hand FAS250. Target enviroment is mixature of Xen or VI hosts via iSCSI and nfs/cifs. Being able to take snapshots of running (or maybe paused) xen iscsi vols and re-export then for cloning and remote backup

What is a use case of setting a reservation on the base pool object? Say I have a pool of 3 100GB drives dynamic striped (pool size of 300GB), and I set the reservation to 200GB. I don''t see any commands that let me ever reduce a pool''s size, so how is the 200GB reservation used? Related question: is there a plan in the future to allow me to replace the 3 100GB drives with 2

Hi All, ZPOOL / ZFS commands writes EFI label on a device if we create ZPOOL/ZFS fs on it. Is it true ? I formatted a device with VTOC lable and I created a ZFS file system on it. Now which label the ZFS device has ? is it old VTOC or EFI ? After creating the ZFS file system on a VTOC labeled disk, I am seeing the following warning messages. Feb 3 07:47:00 scoobyb

Hi zfs-discuss, I have some questions about throttling on ZFS 1) I know that throttling is activating while one sync is waiting for another. (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roch?entry=the_dynamics_of_zfs) Is it possible to throttle only selected processes (e.g. nfsd) ? 2) How can I obtain some statistics about it? I want to know how often throttling is activating on my host etc. 3) Is it
