Hello, Experts. I''ve got a problem. I''m trying to expand my main zpool (rpool), but don''t know how to do that. (i''m 100% newbie in non-windows world) I use Osol under Vmware on Windows. I had a pretty small vhdd -> only 12gb. Yesterday i decided to expand my virtual drive to 20gb. (After several tries to upgrade the OS to a newest dev-releases and

I''ve got knee deep into learning how to use Opensolaris and zfs, and I see now that my goal of home zfs server may have been better served if I had partitioned the install disk leaving some of the 60GB to be added to a zpool. First, how much space does a working OS need. I don''t mean bare minimum but to be comfortable and have some growing room (on the install disk)?

Hi, I am posting my question to both storage-discuss and zfs-discuss as I am not quite sure what is causing the messages I am receiving. I have recently migrated my zfs volume from b104 to b134 and upgraded it from zfs version 14 to 22. It consist of two zvol''s ''vol01/zvol01'' and ''vol01/zvol02''. During zpool import I am getting a non-zero exit code,

Hi! I wonder if the following scenario works: I have a mac mini running as an OSOL box. The OS is installed on the internal hard drive on the vdrive rpool. On rpool there is no redundancy. If I add an external block device (USB / Firewire) to rpool to mirror the internal hard drive and if the internal hard drive fails, can I reboot the system with the detached internal drive but with the

I have just installed EON .599 on a machine with a 6 disk raidz2 configuration. I run updimg after creating a zpool. When I reboot, and attempt to run ''zpool list'' it returns ''no pools configured''. I''ve checked /etc/zfs/zpool.cache, and it appears to have configuration information about the disks in place. If I run zpool import, it loads

Folks, I''m trying to figure out whether we should give ZFS / mpxio a shot on one of our research servers, or simply skip it (as we have previously). In Nov 2009 Cindy responded to a thread concerning ZFS device issues, cfgadm, and mpxio: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2009-November/033496.html I''ve got an x2270 with the Sun EZ-SAS HBA and external SATA

Hi there! I am new to the list, and to OpenSolaris, as well as ZPS. I am creating a zpool/zfs to use on my NAS server, and basically I want some redundancy for my files/media. What I am looking to do, is get a bunch of 2TB drives, and mount them mirrored, and in a zpool so that I don''t have to worry about running out of room. (I know, pretty typical I guess). My problem is, is that

If you have any reservations, please wait for Sun to release something official, and don''t blame me if your data is gone.

Hi guys, after reading the mailings yesterday i noticed someone was after upgrading to zfs v21 (deduplication) i''m after the same, i installed osol-dev-127 earlier which comes with v19 and then followed the instructions on http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/en/index.shtml to bring my system up to date, however, the system is reporting no updates are available and stays at zfs v19, any ideas?

Hi all, I recently experienced a disk failure on my home server and observed checksum errors while resilvering the pool and on the first scrub after the resilver had completed. Now everything seems fine but I''m posting this to get help with calming my nerves and detect any possible future faults. Lets start with some specs.

Hi, Can anyone explain the following to me? Two zpool devices points at the same data, I was installing osol 2008.11 in xVM when I saw that there already was a partition on the installation disk. An old dataset that I deleted since i gave it a slightly different name than I intended is not removed under /dev. I should not have used that name, but two device links should perhaps not

I thought I recalled reading somewhere that in the situation where you have several zfs filesystems under one top level directory like this: rpool rpool/ROOT/osol-112 rpool/export rpool/export/home rpool/export/home/reader you could do a shapshot encompassing everything below zpool instead of having to do it at each level. (Maybe it was in a dream...)

Pawel, another one (though minor, I suppose) bug report: while playing with my poor pool, I tried to interact with it on -current, thus importing it with -f (without upgrading, of course).

Hello, I''m thinking about a setup that looks like this: - 2 headnodes with FC connectivity (OpenSolaris) - 2 backend FC srtorages (Disk Shelves with RAID Controllers presenting a huge 15 TB RAID5) - 2 datacenters (distance 1 km with dark fibre) - one headnode and one storage in each data center (Sorry for this ascii art :) ( Data Center 1) <--1km--> (Data

Hello the list, I thought that it should be easy to do a clone (not in the term of zfs) of a disk with zpool. This manipulation is strongly inspired by http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=135038 and http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/ But unfortunately this doesn''t work, and we do have no clue what could be wrong on c1d0 you have a zfs root create a

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, I have just recovered from a ZFS crash. During the antagonizing time this took, I was surprised to learn how undocumented the tools and options for ZFS recovery we''re. I managed to recover thanks to some great forum posts from Victor Latushkin, however without his posts I would still be crying at night... I think the worst example is the zdb man page, which all it does is to ask you
