I know this was discussed a lot a few years ago, but my google searches aren't quite getting me where I'm confident in the answer, so I figure I'd just ask again here if that's ok. Here's what we have, and what we'd like to do: Storage is a Netapp (cluster mode CDOT 8.2 I believe), it's NFS exported to our linux system. Linux system is CentOS 6 and can NFS mount the

I have a situation where I need to share, via Samba, a filesystem mounted via NFSv4. I'm struggling with the best way to make Samba see the NFSv4 ACLs and enumerate them to provide the proper SMB/CIFS access to the files, instead of "Access Denied" errors that I currently get. Looking at the Samba source, the only obvious NFSv4 stuff appears to be the following: - zfsacl, available

Hi Some developers here said a long time ago that someone should show the code for LZO compression support for ZFS before talking about the next step. I made that code with a friend and we also made a little benchmark to give a first impression: http://denisy.dyndns.org/lzo_vs_lzjb/ I hope we made no technical error, but if you find something not accurate, we will correct it.

Hi people, I'm testing Samba 4.0.17 running as classic pdc mode under FreeBSD 10 and 9.2 , all shares are on ZFS volumes, i would like to use UFS instead of ZFS , but according the wiki page https://wiki.freebsd.org/NFSv4_ACLs nfsv4 inheritance flags works only with ZFS , i tried the parameters inherit acls and inherit permissions with module vfs_zfsacl on the UFS shares but got no success

I''m seeing some pretty pitiful performance using ZFS on a NFS server, with a ZFS volume exported (only with rw=host.foo.com,root=host.foo.com opts) and mounted on a Linux host running kernel 2.4.31. This linux kernel I''m working with is limited in that I can only do NFSv2 mounts... irregardless of that aspect, I''m sure something''s amiss. I mounted the zfs-based

I have been playing around with osol-nv-b114 version, and the ZFS user and group quotas. First of all, it is fantastic. Thank you all! (Sun, Ahrens and anyone else involved). I''m currently copying over one of the smaller user areas, and setting up their quotas, so I have yet to start large scale testing. But the initial work is very promising.

When somebody is hammering on the system, I want to be able to detect who''s doing it, and hopefully even what they''re doing. I can''t seem to find any way to do that. Any suggestions? Everything I can find ... iostat, nfsstat, etc ... AFAIK, just show me performance statistics and so forth. I''m looking for something more granular. Either *who* the

Here is a proposal for a new ''copies'' property which would allow different levels of replication for different filesystems. Your comments are appreciated! --matt A. INTRODUCTION ZFS stores multiple copies of all metadata. This is accomplished by storing up to three DVAs (Disk Virtual Addresses) in each block pointer. This feature is known as "Ditto Blocks".

We run our IMAP spool on ZFS that''s derived from LUNs on a Netapp filer. There''s a great deal of churn in e-mail folders, with messages appearing and being deleted frequently. I know that ZFS uses copy-on- write, so that blocks in use are never overwritten, and that deleted blocks are added to a free list. This behavior would spread the free list all over the zpool. As well,

I''m playing around with snv_128 on one of my systems, and trying to see what kinda of benefits enabling dedup will give me. The standard practice for reprocessing data that''s already stored to add compression and now dedup seems to be a send / receive pipe similar to: zfs send -R <old fs>@snap | zfs recv -d <new fs> However, according to the man page,

Hello, was use several cad applications and with one of those we have problems using zfs. OS and hardware is SunOS 5.10 Generic_118855-36, Fire X4200, the cad application is catia v4. There are several configuration and data files stored on the server and shared via nfs to solaris and aix clients. The application is crashing on the aix client except the server is sharing those files from a ufs

Summary: If you use ZFS, do not downgrade from build 35 or later to build 34 or earlier. This putback (into Solaris Nevada build 35) introduced a backwards- compatable change to the ZFS on-disk format. Old pools will be seamlessly accessed by the new code; you do not need to do anything special. However, do *not* downgrade from build 35 or later to build 34 or earlier. If you do so, some of

After a crash, in my zpool tree, some dataset report this we i do a ls -la: brwxrwxrwx 2 777 root 0, 0 Oct 18 2009 mail-cts also if i set zfs set mountpoint=legacy dataset and then i mount the dataset to other location before the directory tree was only : dataset - vdisk.raw The file was a backing device of a Xen VM, but i cannot access the directory structure of this dataset. However i

The time has come to review the current Contributor and Core contributor grants for ZFS. Since all of the ZFS core contributors grants are set to expire on 02-24-2009 we need to renew the members that are still contributing at core contributor levels. We should also add some new members to both Contributor and Core contributor levels. First the current list of Core contributors: Bill

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

We are looking for a replacement enterprise file system to handle storage needs for our campus. For the past 10 years, we have been happily using DFS (the distributed file system component of DCE), but unfortunately IBM killed off that product and we have been running without support for over a year now. We have looked at a variety of possible options, none of which have proven fruitful. We are

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/

Hello all, I''ve tried changing all kinds of attributes for the zfs''s, but I can''t seem to find the right configuration. So I''m trying to move some zfs''s under another, it looks like this: /pool/joe_user move to /pool/homes/joe_user I know I can do this with zfs rename, and everything is fine. The problem I''m having is, when I mount
