similar to: cachefile for snail zpool import mystery?

Suppose that you have a SAN environment with a lot of LUNs. In the normal course of events this means that ''zpool import'' is very slow, because it has to probe all of the LUNs all of the time. In S10U6, the theoretical ''obvious'' way to get around this for your SAN filesystems seems to be to use a non-default cachefile (likely one cachefile per virtual

We''re planning to build a ZFS-based Solaris NFS fileserver environment with the backend storage being iSCSI-based, in part because of the possibilities for failover. In exploring things in our test environment, I have noticed that ''zpool import'' takes a fairly long time; about 35 to 45 seconds per pool. A pool import time this slow obviously has implications for how fast

Hi, recently we upgraded a central RHEL 5 fileserver to the latest RH EL 5.1 rpms, including samba. (samba-3.0.23c-2.el5.2 update to samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4) Now some users have the problem, that opening a word or excel file saved on a samba share takes up to 30 seconds. Today I could verify this on the users desktop XP PC. This problem occures only from time to time, so it may be also a

Hello, I'm looking for a way to extract objects from what gets created when I Sweave with driver = weaver(). I found where the .Rdata objects are, but when I load one into R, I don't see anything that looks like the objects that were created in that code chunk. > load("/home/darstr/r_env_cache/2.11.0/AbsMeth_5/ac047940aaa9cf1a1ec09f1628b13381.RData") > ls() [1]

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

Hello SUN gurus I do not know if this is supported, I have a created a zpool consisting of the SAN resources and created a zfs file system. Using third part software I have taken snapshots of all luns in the zfs pool. My question is in a recovery situation is there a way for me to mount the snapshots and import the pool while the original is still active. Right now all I am able to do is export

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

Samba is trying to be a member server in an AD in native mode, using winbind, nss, and kerberose. There are 3 kdc's (2 are Win2003, 1 is Win2000), samba server is RH-AS3 + Samba version 3.0.9 (from samba.org) + krb5 1.3.1-6 (from Fedora Core). I thought I had things working (join succeeded, could access shares, modify files), and then it stopped working. After clearing out the host account

I just got a call from another of our admins, as I am the resident ZFS expert, and they have opened a support case with Oracle, but I figured I''d ask here as well, as this forum often provides better, faster answers :-) We have a server (M4000) with 6 FC attached SE-3511 disk arrays (some behind a 6920 DSP engine). There are many LUNs, all about 500 GB and mirrored via ZFS. The LUNs

Hi all, I would like to knwon if with ZFS it''s possible to do something like that : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/removeadisk.html meaning : I have a zpool with 48 disks with 4 raidz2 (12 disk). Inside those 48 disk I''ve 36x 3T and 12 x 2T. Can I buy new 12x4 To disk put in the server, add in the zpool, ask zpool to migrate all data on those 12 old disk on the new and

Any suggestions for additional data gathering? -bash-3.2$ zpool status zp1 pool: zp1 state: ONLINE status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Upgrade the pool using ''zpool

I encountered a strange libzfs behavior while testing a zone fix and want to make sure that I found a genuine bug. I''m creating zones whose zonepaths reside in ZFS datasets (i.e., the parent directories of the zones'' zonepaths are ZFS datasets). In this scenario, zoneadm(1M) attempts to create ZFS datasets for zonepaths. zoneadm(1M) has done this for a long time (since

I had a sparc64 (Netra X1) running a stable/9 from late March 2013. Actually, the kernel may've been a bit newer than that as I was working with folks to diagnose and repair some Netra-X1 specific issues. But, ZFS worked fine. I have two pools, zroot as a RAID1 (using equally sized partitions at the front of two large disks), and a zdata that is a large pool of the remaining space of both
