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

<copied from opensolaris-dicuss as this probably belongs here.> I kept on trying to migrate my pool with children (see previous threads) and had the (bad) idea to try the -d option on the receive part. The system reboots immediately. Here is the log in /var/adm/messages Feb 8 16:07:09 amber unix: [ID 836849 kern.notice] Feb 8 16:07:09 amber ^Mpanic[cpu1]/thread=ffffff014ba86e40: Feb 8

I''ve posted this some time ago but lost track of the subject line and answers. My zfs machine has croaked to the point that it just quits after some 10 15 minutes of uptime. No interesting logs or messages what so ever. At least not that I''ve found. It just quietly quits. I''m not interested in dinking around with this setup... its well ready for upgrade. What

Hi all, I have a 5 drive RAIDZ volume with data that I''d like to recover. The long story runs roughly: 1) The volume was running fine under FreeBSD on motherboard SATA controllers. 2) Two drives were moved to a HP P411 SAS/SATA controller 3) I *think* the HP controllers wrote some volume information to the end of each disk (hence no more ZFS labels 2,3) 4) In its "auto

Hello, Since I''ve got my disk partitioning sorted out now, I want to move my BE from the old disk to the new disk. I created a new zpool, named RPOOL for distinction with the existing "rpool". I then did lucreate -p RPOOL -n new95 This completed without error, the log is at the bottom of this mail. I have not yet dared to run luactivate. I also have not yet dared set the

Hi, all. I'm new to R. I've been a SAS programmer for 20 years. I seem to be having trouble with the most basic task - bringing a table in an *.RData file into a data.frame object. Here's how I created the *.RData file. library(RODBC) db <- odbcConnect("*******") df <- sqlQuery( db , "select * from schema.table where year(someDate)=2006" ) save(

I would like to make a snapshot of a running VM, let it continue to run after the shapshot, and then at some later time roll back the VM to that previous running state. Can I do that with libvirt? If so, how? I understand that this will cause all kinds of havoc with things like ongoing TCP connections, and I accept that risk. -- Gary Jackson

Hi. Is it possible on Solaris 10 5/09, to rollback to a ZFS snapshot, WITHOUT destroying later created clones or snapshots? Example: --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT at 01 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT at 02 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs clone rpool/ROOT at 02 rpool/ROOT-02 --($ ~)-- LC_ALL=C sudo zfs rollback rpool/ROOT at 01 cannot rollback to ''rpool/ROOT at 01'': more

Hi, I am soliciting input from the ZFS engineers and/or ZFS users on an extension to "zfs list". Thanks in advance for your feedback. Quick Background: The pNFS project (http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nfsv41/) is adding a new DMU object set type which is used on the pNFS data server to store pNFS stripe DMU objects. A pNFS dataset gets created with the "zfs

Hello, ZFS is behaving strange on a OSOL laptop, your thoughts are welcome. I am running OSOL on my laptop, currently b124 and i found that the performance of ZFS is not optimal in all situations. If i check the how much space the package cache for pkg(1) uses, it takes a bit longer on this host than on comparable machine to which i transferred all the data. user at host:/var/pkg$ time

Hi and hello, I have a problem confusing me. I hope someone can help me with it. I followed a "best practise" - I think - using dedicated zfs filesystems for my virtual machines. Commands (for completion): [i]zfs create rpool/vms[/i] [i]zfs create rpool/vms/vm1[/i] [i] zfs create -V 10G rpool/vms/vm1/vm1-dsk[/i] This command creates the file system [i]/rpool/vms/vm1/vm1-dsk[/i] and the

Hello, I have a situation where a host, which is booted off its ''rpool'', need to temporarily import the ''rpool'' of another host, edit some files in it, and export the pool back retaining its original name ''rpool''. Can this be done ? Here is what I am trying to do: # zpool import -R /a rpool temp-rpool # zfs set mountpoint=/mnt

I''m looking for a way to backup my entire system, the rpool zfs pool to an external HDD so that it can be recovered in full if the internal HDD fails. Previously with Solaris 10 using UFS I would use ufsdump and ufsrestore, which worked so well, I was very confident with it. Now ZFS doesn''t have an exact replacement of this so I need to find a best practice to replace it.

Hi, After upgrading to b95 of OSOL/Indiana, and doing a ZFS upgrade to the newer revision, all arrays I have using ZFS mirroring are displaying errors. This started happening immediately after ZFS upgrades. Here is an example: ormandj at neutron.corenode.com:~$ zpool status pool: rpool state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was

I have an OpenSolaris snv_101 box with ZFS on it. (Sun Ultra 20 M2) zpool name is rpool. The I have a 2nd hard drive in the box that I am trying to recover the ZFS data from (long story but that HD became unbootable after installing IPS on the machine) Both drives have a pool named "rpool", so I can''t import the rpool from the 2nd drive. root at hyperion:~# zpool status

Hi, yesterday evening I tried to upgrade my Ultra 60 to 2009.06 from SXCE snv_98. I can''t use AI Installer because OpenPROM is version 3.27. So I built IPS from source, then created a zpool on a spare drive and installed OS 2006.06 on it To make the disk bootable I used: installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 using the executable from my new

Let me thank everyone in advance. I''ve read a number of posts here and it helped tremendously in getting the install done. I have a couple of remaining issues which I can''t seem to overcome. Here are the basics: dom0 - CentOS 5.2 32-bit Xen 3.2.1 compiles from source domU - os200805.iso The install config: [root@internetpowagroup oshman]# cat opensolaris.install name =

Please can someone take a look at the attached file which shows the output on my machine of zfs list -r -t filesystem,snapshot -o space rpool/export/home/matt The USEDDS figure of ~2GB is what I would expect, and is the same figure reported by the Disk Usage Analyzer. Where is the remaining 13.8GB USEDSNAP figure coming from? If I total up the list of zfs-auto snapshots it adds up to about 4.8GB,

Hello all, I''d like to report a tricky situation and a workaround I''ve found useful - hope this helps someone in similar situations. To cut the long story short, I could not properly mount some datasets from a readonly pool, which had a non-"legacy" mountpoint attribute value set, but the mountpoint was not available (directory absent or not empty). In this case

I had the rpool with two sata disks in the miror. Solaris 10 5.10 Generic_141415-08 i86pc i386 i86pc Unfortunately the first disk with grub loader has failed with unrecoverable block write/read errors. Now I have the problem to import rpool after the first disk has failed. So I decided to do: "zpool import -f rpool" only with second disk, but it''s hangs and the system is
