Hi, we have a new fileserver running on X4275 hardware with Solaris 10U8. On this fileserver we created one test dir with quota and mounted these on another Solaris 10 system. Here the quota command didnot show the used quota. Does this feature only work with OpenSolaris or is it intended to work on Solaris 10? Here what we did on the server: # zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/home2

As mentioned last night, we''ve been reviewing a proposal for hot spare support in ZFS. Below you can find a current draft of the proposed interfaces. This has not yet been submitted for ARC review, but comments are welcome. Note that this does not include any enhanced FMA diagnosis to determine when a device is "faulted". This will come in a follow-on project, of which some

I''m not sure if this is the right place for the question or not, but I''ll throw it out there anyways. Does anyone know, if you create your pool(s) with a system running fishworks, can that pool later be imported by a standard solaris system? IE: If for some reason the head running fishworks were to go away, could I attach the JBOD/disks to a system running snv/mainline

This past weekend, but holiday was ruined due to a log device "replacement" gone awry. I posted all about it here: http://jmlittle.blogspot.com/2008/05/problem-with-slogs-how-i-lost.html In a nutshell, an resilver of a single log device with itself, due to the fact one can''t remove a log device from a pool once defined, cause ZFS to fully resilver but then attach the log

On Solaris x86, does zpool (or anything) support PATA (or SATA) IDE SMART data? With the Predictive Self Healing feature, I assumed that Solaris would have at least some SMART support, but what I''ve googled so far has been discouraging. http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2006/10/29/solaris-needs-smart-support-please-help/ Bug ID: 4665068 SMART support in IDE driver

Please reply to david.curtis at sun.com ******** Background / configuration ************** zpool will not create a storage pool on fibre channel storage. I''m attached to an IBM SVC using the IBMsdd driver. I have no problem using SVM metadevices and UFS on these devices.

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

Hello, I am trying to configure ZFS with IBM sdd. IBM sdd is like powerpath, MPXIO or VxDMP. Here is the error message when I try to create my pool: bash-3.00# zpool create tank /dev/dsk/vpath1a warning: device in use checking failed: No such device internal error: unexpected error 22 at line 446 of ../common/libzfs_pool.c bash-3.00# zpool create tank /dev/dsk/vpath1c cannot open

I suspect it''s probably not a good idea but I was wondering if someone could clarify the details. I have 4 250G SATA(150) disks and 1 250G PATA(133) disk. Would it cause problems if I created a raidz1 pool across all 5 drives? I know the PATA drive is slower so would it slow the access across the whole pool or just when accessing that disk? Thanks for your input. - Chris

This zfs looks great! I really hope this gets put into solaris soon since I don''t think I could live with Solaris express on a production machine. The easy of adding disk and moving directories looks like a life saver, especially for me who deals with trying to store digital media which piles up a couple of gig a day!

Hi There, I looked at the ZFS admin guide in attempt to find a way to leverage ZFS capabilities (storage pool, mirroring, dynamic stripping, etc.) for Xen domU file systems that are not ZFS. Couldn''t find an answer whether ZFS could be used only as a "regular" volume manager to create logical volumes for UFS or even a Linux ext2fs, with ideally, the ability to create

IIRC, uncorrectable bitrot even in a nonessential file detected by ZFS used to cause a kernel panic. Bug ID 4924238 was closed with the claim that bitrot-induced panics is not a bug, but the description did mention an open bug ID 4879357, which suggests that it''s considered a bug after all. Can somebody clarify the intended behavior? For example, if I''m running Solaris in a VM,

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 Timo and everybody! Sorry, I was googling but haven't found an answer on my simple question: Does the latest release of Dovecot Sieve work with Dovecot 2.0rc? Thank you in advance. -- Best regards, Roman

Hi, Given two disk c1t0d0 (DISK A) and c1t1d0 (DISK B)... 1/ Standard install on DISK A. 2/ zfs boot install on DISK B. 3/ I change the boot order and my zfs boot works fine. 4/ I install grub on the mbr of DISK B 5/ I disconnect and replace DISK A with DISK B 6/ Reboot, get the grub menu select Solaris ZFS and it panics that it cannot mount root path @ device XXX... This is not a ZFS

So, I noticed that a lot of the fixes discussed here recently, including the ZFS/NFS interaction bug fixes and the deadlock fix has made it into 20060327 that was released this morning. My question is whether we''ll see all these up to the minute bug fixes in the Solaris 10 update that brings ZFS to that product, or if there is a specific date where no further updates will make it in to

We''re planning to build a ZFS-based Solaris NFS fileserver environment with the backend storage being iSCSI-based, in part because of the possibilities for failover. In exploring things in our test environment, I have noticed that ''zpool import'' takes a fairly long time; about 35 to 45 seconds per pool. A pool import time this slow obviously has implications for how fast

All, I assume this issue is pretty old given the time ZFS has been around. I have tried searching the list but could not get understand the structure of how ZFS actually takes snapshot space into account.
