similar to: ZFS Root instructions on Tabriz''s weblog

I have posted a blog http://solaristhings.blogspot.com/ on how I have configured a zfs root partition on my laptop. It is a slightly modified version of Tabriz''s blog http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/tabriz?entry=are_you_ready_to_rumble The main differences, is that I only require a very small ufs partition for grub, and I detail how to use a zfs clone as a test root partition.

Among other things, I run an http server on my home DSL line (6M/768kbit). The content includes several large image galleries, and when certain crawlers hit our server w/ multiple large image uploads, we end up with large ping time delays - sufficient to disrupt the kids'' on-line gaming. Attempts to control this with robots.txt has not be very successful; Solaris IPQoS appears quite

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 All, Is there a simple way to list all currently open file descriptors ? TIA.. Regards, Venkat -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

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

It wouldn''t be proper to start my first post here without congratulations and thanks to the ZFS team for such an impressive piece of work. Anyway, on to my query. I''ve been trying out ZFS, with a particular focus in reducing latency in a specific application. This application has a fair amount of random writing going on in the background (which, of course, ZFS will make

After the interesting revelations about the X2100 and it''s hot-swap abilities, what are the abilities of the X2200-M2''s disk subsystem, and is ZFS going to tickle any wierdness out of them? -brian -- "The reason I don''t use Gnome: every single other window manager I know of is very powerfully extensible, where you can switch actions to different mouse buttons.

Is there any performance problem with hard links in ZFS? I have a large storage. There will be near 50000 hard links for every file. Is it ok for ZFS? May be some problems with snapshots(every 30 minutes there will be a snapshot creating)? What about difference in speed while working with 50000 hardlinks or 50000 different files? ps: It would be very useful if you give me some links about

So after toying around with some stuff a few months back I got bogged down and set this project aside for a while. Time to revisit. <BR><BR> Looking around there still is not a good "these cards/motherboards" work list. the HCL is hardly ever updated, and its far more geared towards business use than hobbyist/home use. So bearing all of that in mind I will need the

Does anyone know if there is support in Java for creating holes in a sparse file (like one can do via fcntl(F_FREESP) in C)? Would like to avoid writing JNI code if there is already support for this somewhere in the JDK. Chuck

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

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

Hi All: Why are floating-point operators not supported in D Language? Because they are useless in tracing programs? Regards!

A customer has a zpool where their spectral analysis applications create a ton (millions?) of very small files that are typically 1858 bytes in length. They''re using ZFS because UFS consistently runs out of inodes. I''m assuming that ZFS aggregates these little files into recordsize (128K?) blobs for writes. This seems to go reasonably well amazingly enough. Reads are a
