What is the process for integrating a Lustre+SAMFS solution into an existing customer environment. The plan is to have CRS build the Lustre component, but Lustre and SAMFS will need to configured and integrated into the customer computing environment. I am very familiar with the SAMFS integration, but not Lustre integration. Do we have resources in PS to provide the integration? Is this

The subject says it all.

Hi, I''m thinking about the following situation and I know there are some things I have to understand: I want to use two SUN-Servers with the same amount of storage capacity on both of them and I want to replicate the filesystem ( zfs ) incrementally two times a day from the first to the second one. I know that the zfs send/receive commands will do the job, but I don''t

Morning All! Anyone ever tried exporting a StorNext CVFS filesystem from a Linux box??? I?ve got this Samba server (3.5.6) running on CentOS 5.4 and it?s working fine, exporting ext3, nfs and an IBM GPFS filesystem just fine. So I know Samba is good an my configuration is working. I tried to add the exportation of a StorNext CVFS volume and that doesn?t work. All the other volumes still work

Hi, (added myself as CC as I'm not subscribed to this MailingList curently) I already sent a pull request via github, but was told that review via ML is preferred. Another patch for libguestfs will follow in a seperate Mail. Greetings Daniel

In the last 4 years of using SAM-FS/QFS I have fallen in love with this product. I have tried earlier to ask Sun to incorporate features into this product but in vain. Do you think the following is worth exploring and in-corporating: 1. Unlike ZFS SAM-FS/QFS File system need "compression" feature turned on with ''setfa''. I understand that''s a whole lot of

How can I set up a ZVOL that''s accessible by non-root users, too? The intent is to use sparse ZVOLs as raw disks in virtualization (reducing overhead compared to file-based virtual volumes). Thanks, -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org

Team, **Please respond to me and my coworker listed in the Cc, since neither one of us are on this alias** QUICK PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cu created a dataset which contains all the zvols for a particular zone. The zone is then given access to all the zvols in the dataset using a match statement in the zoneconfig (see long problem description for details). After the initial boot of the zone

The `lofiadm'' man page describes how to export a file as a block device and then use `mkfs -F pcfs'' to create a FAT filesystem on it. Can''t I do the same thing by first creating a zvol and then creating a FAT filesystem on it? Nothing I''ve tried seems to work. Isn''t the zvol just another block device? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Group-

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

Hello, I was doing performance testing, validating zvol performance in particularly, and found that zvol write performance to be slow ~35-44MB/s at 1MB blocksize writes. I then tested the underlying zfs file system with the same test and got 121MB/s. Is there any way to fix this? I really would like to have compatible performance between the zfs filesystem and the zfs zvols. # first test is a

Hi folks, (Long time no post...) Only starting to get into this one, so apologies if I''m light on detail, but... I have a shiny SSD I''m using to help make some VirtualBox stuff I''m doing go fast. I have a 240GB Intel 520 series jobbie. Nice. I chopped into a few slices - p0 (partition table), p1 128GB, p2 60gb. As part of my work, I have used it both as a RAW

I assume that a zvol has a vtoc. What tags are supported? Thanks, Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/20070427/57e1a64f/attachment.html>

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) and the ability to import a vmdk 1.1 optimized stream file. An

Hi, as Richard Elling wrote earlier: "For more background, low-cost SSDs intended for the boot market are perfect candidates. Take a X-25V @ 40GB and use 15-20 GB for root and the rest for an L2ARC. For small form factor machines or machines with max capacity of 8GB of RAM (a typical home system) this can make a pleasant improvement over a HDD-only implementation." For the upcoming

Experts, I''m installing Oracle 9i on Solaris 10 11/06(update 3),I created some zfs volumes which will be used by oracle data file,as: # zfs create -V 200m ora_pool/controlfile01_200m # zfs create -V 800m ora_pool/system_800m ... # ls -l /dev/zvol/rdsk/ora_pool lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 11 12:23 controlfile01_200m -> ../../../../devices/pseudo/zfs at 0:1c,raw

An issue was found with the netBeans installer where the installation was failing on a large ZFS filesystem. This resulted in CR 6560644 (zfs statvfs f_frsize needs work). The issue is that large filesystems can cause EOVERFLOW on statvfs() calls. This behavior is documented in the statvfs(2) man page, but I think we can do better. The problem was initially reported against ZFS, and my first fix

Hi, I have a question, let''s say I have a zvol named vol1 which is a clone of a snapshot of another zvol (its origin property is tank/myvol at mysnap). If I send this zvol to a different zpool through a zfs send does it send the origin too that is, does an automatic promotion happen or do I end up whith a broken zvol? Best regards.

Rick McNeal and I have been working on building support for sharing ZVOLs as iSCSI targets directly into ZFS. Below is the proposal I''ll be submitting to PSARC. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Adam ---8<--- iSCSI/ZFS Integration A. Overview The goal of this project is to couple ZFS with the iSCSI target in Solaris specifically to make it as easy to create and export ZVOLs

I''ve been seeing read and write performance pathologies with Linux ext3 over iSCSI to zvols, especially with small writes. Does running a journalled filesystem to a zvol turn the block storage into swiss cheese? I am considering serving ext3 journals (and possibly swap too) off a raw, hardware-mirrored device. Before I do (and I''ll write up any results) I''d like to know
