similar to: Snapshot access from non-global zones

Is it possible to give access to the snapshots of a global zone (through lofs perhaps?) into a zone? I recall that you can''t just delegate a snapshot dataset into a zone yet, but was wondering if there is some lofs magic I can do? Thanks

ZFS experts! cu is looking for _documentation_ about putting zone paths on zfs. cu is running 5.10 KP 137111-06. he needs to make sure u5 kp is ok with zone roots. Also has FSs mounted via legacy. So...anybody have documentation on which u5 or u6 of Solaris (NOT OpenSolaris) supports zfs, if any update, for zone paths? -Brian -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Sun#

This question is both for the ZFS forum and the Zones forum. I have a global zone with a pool (mapool). I have 2 zones, z1 and z2,. I want to pass a dataset (mapool/fs1) from z1 to z2. Solution 1 : mapool/fs1 is mounted under /thing on the global zone (legacy) and I configure a lofs on z1 and z2. add zonecfg:z1> add fs zonecfg:z1:fs> set dir=/thing zonecfg:z1:fs> set special=/fs1

Hello, I''ve got auto-snapshots enabled in global zone for home directories of all users. Users log in to their individual zones and home directory loads from global zone. All works fine, except that new auto-snapshot have no properties and therefore can''t be accessed in zones. example from zone: [~/.zfs/snapshot]:$ ls -Alh ls: cannot access

Is there an existing RFE for, what I''ll wrongly call, "recursively visable snapshots"? That is, .zfs in directories other than the dataset root. Frankly, I don''t need it available in all directories, although it''d be nice, but I do have a need for making it visiable 1 dir down from the dataset root. The problem is that while ZFS and Zones work smoothly

A colleague just asked if zfs delegation worked with zvols too. Thought I''d give it a go and got myself in a mess (tank/linkfixer is the delegated dataset): root at non-global / # zfs create -V 500M tank/linkfixer/foo cannot create device links for ''tank/linkfixer/foo'': permission denied cannot create ''tank/linkfixer/foo'': permission denied Ok, so

Hi, I''m trying to let zfs users to create and destroy snapshots in their zfs filesystems.

Hello All, I have two questions related to "zfs snapshot -r" 1. When "zfs snapshot -r tank at today" command is issued, does it creates snapshots for all the descendent file systems at the same moment? I mean to say if the command is issued at 10:20:35 PM, does the creation time of all the snapshots for descendent file systems are same? 2. Say, tank has around 5000

Hi, We have implemented a zfs files system for home directories and have enabled it with quotas+snapshots. However the snapshots are causing an issue with the user quotas. The default snapshot files go under ~username/.zfs/snapshot, which is a part of the user file system. So if the quota is 10G and the snapshots total to 2G, this adds to the disk space used by the user. Is there any turnaround

Hi, I created guest domains and used sparse root model zones on a ZFS file system. Zone configuration and installation went on successfully, but it does not boot. No messages on the console. So, i installed it on a UFS file system, then local zones were running. Is there any limitation to run local zone on ZFS file system, inside a guest domain? Thanks & regards, Subbu -- This messages

Is it possible to emulate a unionfs with zfs and zones somehow? My zones are sparse zones and I want to make part of /usr writable within a zone. (/usr/perl5/mumble to be exact) I can''t just mount a writable directory on top of /usr/perl5 because then it hides all the stuff in the global zone. I could repopulate it in the local zone but ugh that is unattractive. I''m hoping

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

Hello zfs-discuss, I''m writing a script to do automatically snapshots and destroy old one. I think it would be great to add to zfs destroy another option so only snapshots can be destroyed. Something like: zfs destroy -s SNAPSHOT so if something other than snapshot is provided as an argument zfs destroy wouldn''t actually destroy it. That way it would

Hi, yesterday I implemented a simple hourly snapshot on my filesystems. I also regularly initiate a manual "zpool scrub" on all my pools. Usually the scrubbing will run for about 3 hours. But after enabling hourly snapshots I noticed that zfs scrub is always restarted if a new snapshot is created - so basically it will never have the chance to finish: # zpool scrub scratch # zpool

Hello I have a fresh Solaris 10/6 install. My disk have 20Gb but I used only 10GB for the base solaris installation and home directory. I have 10GB free without any partition. I would like to use my free space to store my zones using zfs filesystem. In example: /zones /zone/zona1 /zone/zone2 How I can create "/zones" filesystem ? zpool create zones ????? ?????: What I must

Hi, I recently upgraded from 2009.06 to b131 (mainly to get dedup support). The upgrade to b131 went fairly smoothly, but then I ran into an issue trying to get the old datasets snapshotted and send/recv''d to dedup the existing data. Here''s the steps I ran: zfs snapshot -r data/media at prereplicate zfs create -o mountpoint=none data/media.new zfs send -R data/media at

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

Hy all, recently I upgraded to S10U8 a T5120 using LU. The system had a zones configured and at time of upgrade procedure the zones was still alive and worked fine. The LU procedure was ended successfully. Zones on the system was installed in a ZFS filesystem. Here the result at the end of LU (ABE-from: s10Aug2007, ABE-to: s10Set2009): # zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
