ZFS documentation lists snapshot limits on any single file system in a pool at 2**48 snaps, and that seems to logically imply that a snap on a file system does not require an update to the pool?s currently active uberblock. That is to say, that if we take a snapshot of a file system in a pool, and then make any changes to that file system, the copy on write behavior induced by the changes will

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

Hi matt, I have some problems about understanding zfs COW implemention. Suppose b and c are both children dir of a, if c changes, there will be new versions of both a and c, namely c'' and a''. a a'' b c c'' Because ''..'' in b points to a before this change, shall we modify b to let ''..'' point to a''? If yes,

I''ve noticed that the dsl_dataset_t that points to a given dataset changes during the life time of a ''zfs create'' command. We start out with one dsl_dataset_t* during dmu_objset_create_sync() but by the time we are later mounting the dataset we have a different in memory dsl_dataset_t* referring to the same dataset. This causes me a big issue with per dataset

Hi, my system (solaris b77) was physically destroyed and i loosed data saved in a zpool mirror. The only thing left is a dettached vdev from the pool. I''m aware that uberblock is gone and that i can''t import the pool. But i still hope their is a way or a tool (like tct http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/) i can go too recover at least partially some data) thanks in advance for

hi, i have raid1 on zfs with 2 device on pool first device died and boot from second not working... i try to get http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ flash and load from it with zpool import http://puu.sh/2402E when i load zfs.ko and opensolaris.ko i see this message: Solaris: WARNING: Can''t open objset for zroot/var/crash Solaris: WARNING: Can''t open objset for zroot/var/crash zpool status:

I build two zfs filesystems using b29 (from brandz). I then re-installed solaris express b28, preserving the zfs filesystems. When I tried to "zpool import" my zfs filesystems I got a kernel panic: > debugging crash dump vmcore.0 (32-bit) from blackbird > operating system: 5.11 snv_28 (i86pc) > panic message: > ZFS: bad checksum (read on /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 off 24d5e000: zio

Hi I''m looking into forensic aspects of ZFS, in particular ways to use ZFS tools to investigate ZFS file systems without writing to the pools. I''m working on a test suite of file system images within VTOC partitions. At the moment, these only have 1 file system per pool per VTOC partition for simplicity''s sake, and I''m using Solaris 10 6/06, which may not

ZFS works really stable on FreeBSD, but I''m biggest problem is how to control ZFS memory usage. I''ve no idea how to leash that beast. FreeBSD has a backpresure mechanism. I can register my function so it will be called when there are memory problems, which I do. I using it for ARC layer. Even with this in place under heavy load the kernel panics, because memory with KM_SLEEP

Hi I know some of this has been discussed in the past but I can''t quite find the exact information I''m seeking (and I''d check the ZFS wikis but the websites are down at the moment). Firstly, which is correct, free space shown by "zfs list" or by "zpool iostat" ? zfs list: used 50.3 TB, free 13.7 TB, total = 64 TB, free = 21.4% zpool iostat: used

Hi Lin, In addition to bug 6541114... Bug ID 6541114 Synopsis GRUB/ZFS fails to load files from a default compressed (lzjb) root ... I found yet another way to get the "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" from GRUB. This time when trying to boot a Xen Dom0 from a zfs bootfs Synopsis: grub/zfs-root: cannot boot xen from a zfs root

Hello all, I have a question about what output "ZDB -dddddd" should produce in L0 DVA fields. I expected there to be one or more same-sized references to data blocks stored in top-level vdevs (one vdev #0 in my 6-disk raidz2 pool), as confirmed by the source: http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/cmd/zdb/zdb.c#sprintf_blkptr_compact And I do see that for some of my

I have a huge problem with space maps on thumper. Space maps takes over 3GB and write operations generates massive read operations. Before every spa sync phase zfs reads space maps from disk. I decided to turn on compression for pool ( only for pool, not filesystems ) and it helps. Now space maps, intent log, spa history are compressed. Not I''m thinking about disabling checksums. All

Hi, In migrating from **VM to ZFS am I going to have an issue with Major/Minor numbers with NFS mounts? Take the following scenario. 1. NFS clients are connected to an active NFS server that has SAN shared storage between the active and standby nodes in a cluster. 2. The NFS clients are using the major/minor numbers on the active node in the cluster to communicate to the NFS active server. 3.

Hi. I''m in the process of writing an introductory paper on ZFS. The paper is meant to be something that could be given to a systems admin at a site to introduce ZFS and document common procedures for using ZFS. In the paper, I want to document the method for identifying which file has a checksum error. In previous discussions on this alias, I''ve used the following

Hello all, I have an oi_148a PC with a single root disk, and since recently it fails to boot - hangs after the copyright message whenever I use any of my GRUB menu options. Booting with an oi_148a LiveUSB I had around since installation, I ran some zdb traversals over the rpool and zpool import attempts. The imports fail by running the kernel out of RAM (as recently discussed in the list with

In my testing, I''ve found the following error: zpool status -v pool: local state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data corruption. Applications may be affected. action: Restore the file in question if possible. Otherwise restore the entire pool from backup. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A scrub: none requested

I had high hopes of significant performance gains using zfs diff in Solaris 11 compared to my home-brew stat based version in Solaris 10. However the results I have seen so far have been disappointing. Testing on a reasonably sized filesystem (4TB), a diff that listed 41k changes took 77 minutes. I haven''t tried my old tool, but I would expect the same diff to take a couple of

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
