Just got an email about this today. Fishworks finally unveiled? http://www.sun.com/launch/2008-1110/index.jsp -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/20081110/17591c2d/attachment.html>

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

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

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

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

This morning we got a fault management message from one of our production servers stating that a fault in one of our pools had been detected and fixed. Looking into the error using fmdump gives: fmdump -v -u 90ea244e-1ea9-4bd6-d2be-e4e7a021f006 TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID Oct 22 09:29:05.3448 90ea244e-1ea9-4bd6-d2be-e4e7a021f006 FMD-8000-4M Repaired

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. I have a user walter on whom I try to do the following ZFS operations bash-3.00# zfs get quota store/catB/home/walter NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

ZFS fans, I''m preparing some analyses on RAS for large JBOD systems such as the Sun Fire X4500 (aka Thumper). Since there are zillions of possible permutations, I need to limit the analyses to some common or desirable scenarios. Naturally, I''d like your opinions. I''ve already got a few scenarios in analysis, and I don''t want to spoil the brain storming, so

While testing a zpool with a different storage adapter using my "blkdev" device, I did a test which made a disk unavailable -- all attempts to read from it report EIO. I expected my configuration (which is a 3 disk test, with 2 disks in a RAIDZ and a hot spare) to work where the hot spare would automatically be activated. But I''m finding that ZFS does not behave this way

So, my Areca controller has been complaining via email of read errors for a couple days on SATA channel 8. The disk finally gave up last night at 17:40. I got to say I really appreciate the Areca controller taking such good care of me. For some reason, I wasn''t able to log into the server last night or in the morning, probably because my home dir was on the zpool with the failed disk

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

Hi there Is it fair to compare the 2 solutions using Solaris 10 U2 and a commercial database (SAP SD scenario). The cache on the HW raid helps, and the CPU load is less... but the solution costs more and you _might_ not need the performance of the HW RAID. Has anybody with access to these units done a benchmark comparing the performance (and with the pricelist in hand) came to a conclusion.

Hi all, (down to the wire here on EDU grant pricing :) i''m looking at buying a pair of 7110''s in the EDU grant sale. The price is sure right. I''d use them in a mirrored, cold-failover config. I''d primarily be using them to serve a vmware cluster; the current config is two standalone ESX servers with local storage, 450G of SAS RAID10 each. the 7110 price

Hi, I just found out that ZFS triggers a kernel-panic while switching a mounted volume into read-only mode: The system is attached to a Symmetrix, all zfs-io goes through Powerpath: I ran some io-intensive stuff on /tank/foo and switched the device into read-only mode at the same time (symrdf -g bar failover -establish). ZFS went ''bam'' and triggered a Panic: WARNING: /pci at

I''m pleased to pass along news that the Mac OS X DTrace port has been updated in 10.5.3 to fix the issue that caused timer based probes not to fire in the presence of certain untraceable applications. http://blogs.sun.com/ahl/entry/apple_updates_dtrace A big thank you to the folks at Apple for addressing the problem.

Howdy, I have at several times had issues with consumer grade PC hardware and ZFS not getting along. The problem is not the disks but the fact I dont have ECC and end to end checking on the datapath. What is happening is that random memory errors and bit flips are written out to disk and when read back again ZFS reports it as a checksum failure: pool: myth state: ONLINE status: One or more

Hello all, looking to get the master list of all the error codes/ messages which I could get back from doing bad things in zfs. I am wrappering the zfs command into python and want to be able to correctly pick up on errors which are returned from certain operations. I did a source code search on opensolaris.org for the text of some of the errors I know about, with no luck. Are these

Hi Folks, I''ve got a 4 Tb pool on a 3511 array. The pool was created from, and is mounted on, an old 280r. I''d like to export the pool from the 280r and import it to a shiny new x2200. Will this work? Will the x2200 understand the disk labels made by the 280r? Some tests we''ve done on a smaller, non-production pool suggest not. Suggestions or pointers welcome.

I have created a pool on external storage with B114. Then I export this pool and import it on another system with B110.But this import will fail and show error: cannot import ''tpool'': pool is formatted using a newer ZFS version. Any big change in ZFS with B114 leads to this compatibility issue? Thanks Zhihui -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Folks, How can I find out zpool id without using zpool import? zpool list and zpool status does not have option as of Solaris 10U5.. Any back door to grab this property will be helpful. Thank you Ajay
