Hi there, i''m building a small NAS with 5x1TB Disks. The disks contains at the moment some data, ntfs as the fs and aren''t a raid. Now my im wondering if its possible to add the parity later. So that i add step by step one disk to the pool. And when i add the last disk, i enable the parity. (i have only one another 1 tb disk to backup the files) Thank you for you replies and

I''m having following issue .. i import the zpool and it shows pool imported correctly but after few seconds when i issue command zpool list .. it does not show any pool and when again i try to import it says device is missing in pool .. what could be the reason for this .. and yes this all started after i upgraded the powerpath abcxxxx # zpool import pool: emcpool1 id:

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

With the release of the Nevada build 90 binaries, it is now possible to install SXCE directly onto a ZFS root filesystem, and also put ZFS swap onto a ZFS filesystem without worrying about having it deadlock. ZFS now also supports crash dumps! To install SXCE to a ZFS root, simply use the text-based installer, after choosing "Solaris Express" from the boot menu on the DVD. DVD download

hi all Try to learn how UFS root to ZFS root liveUG work. I download the vbox image of s10u8, it come up as UFS root. add a new disks (16GB) create zpool rpool run lucreate -n zfsroot -p rpool run luactivate zfsroot run lustatus it do show zfsroot will be active in next boot init 6 but it come up with UFS root, lustatus show ufsroot active zpool rpool is mounted but not used by boot Is this a

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The

What does it mean for the reported value of a zvol volsize to be less than the product of used and compressratio? For example, # zfs get -p all home1/home1mm01 NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE home1/home1mm01 type volume - home1/home1mm01 creation 1254440045 - home1/home1mm01 used 14902492672

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

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

Hi, My swap is on raidz1. Df -k and swap -l are showing almost no usage of swap, while zfs list and zpool list are showing me 96% capacity. Which should i believe? Justin # df -hk Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s1 14G 4.0G 10G 28% / /devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices ctfs

Hello, I had snv_111b running for a while on a HP DL160G5. With two 16GB USB sticks comprising the mirrored rpool for boot. And four 1TB drives comprising another pool, pool1, for data. So that''s been working just fine for a few months. Yesterday I get it into my mind to upgrade the OS to latest, then was snv_127. That worked, and all was well. Also did an upgrade to the

I sent a zvol from host a, to host b, twice. Host b has two pools, one ashift=9, one ashift=12. I sent the zvol to each of the pools on b. The original source pool is ashift=9, and an old revision (2009_06 because it''s still running xen). I sent it twice, because something strange happened on the first send, to the ashift=12 pool. "zfs list -o space" showed figures at

I was asked by a coworker about recovering destroyed datasets on ZFS - and whether it is possible at all? As a related question, if a filesystem dataset was recursively destroyed along with all its snapshots, is there some means to at least find some pointers whether it existed at all? I remember "zpool import -D" can be used to import whole destroyed pools. But crawling around the

So after tinkering with lucreate and luactivate I now have several boot environments but the active one is unfortunately not bootable. How can I access the luactivate command from boot:net? boot net:dhcp -s mkdir /tmp/mnt zpool import -R /tmp/mnt rpool I poke around in /tmp/mnt but do not find usr/sbin under there. This is on Sparc. I suppose I could manually edit /tmp/mnt/rpool/boot/menu.lst

(i use the term loosely because i know that zfs likes whole volumes better) when installing ubuntu, i got in the habit of using a separate partition for my home directory so that my data and gnome settings would all remain intact when i reinstalled or upgraded. i''m running osol 2008.11 on an ultra 20, which has only two drives. i''ve got all my data located in my home directory,

I''ve looked for anything I can find on the topic, but there does not appear to be anything documented. Can a ZVOL be expanded? In particular, can a ZVOL sharded via iscsi be expanded? Thanks, Charles

Hi All, Please let me know the procedure how to patch a server which is having 5 zones on zfs file systems. Root file system exists on internal disk and zones are existed on SAN.

My server runs S10u5. All slices are UFS. I run a couple of sparse zones on a seperate slice mounted on /zones. When S10u6 comes out booting of ZFS will become possible. That is great news. However, will it be possible to have those zones I run now too? I always understood ZFS and root zones are difficult. I hope to be able to change all FS to ZFS, including the space for the sparse zones. Does
