similar to: zfs send/receive with different on disk versions

Is it possible to recover the rpool with only a tar/star archive of the root filesystem? I have used the zfs send/receive methods and that work without a problem. What I am trying to do is recreate the rpool and underlying zfs filesystems (rpool/ROOT, rpool/s10_uXXXXXX, rpool/dump, rpool/swap, rpool/export, and rpool/export/home). I then mount the pool at a alternate root and restore the tar

I am running zfs send/receive on a ~1.2Tb zfs spread across 10x200Gb LUNs. Has copied only 650Gb in ~42Hrs. Source pool and destination pool are from the same storage sub system. Last time when ran, took ~20Hrs. Something is terribly wrong here. What do i need to look to figure out the reason? ran zpool iostat and iostat on the given pool for some clue. but still in a state of confusion now.

I''d like to replace/upgrade two 500GB disks in RaidZ2 vdev with 1TB disks, but I have some preliminary questions/concerns before trying ''zfs replace dpool ?'' Will ZFS permit this replacement? Will ZFS use the extra space in a heterogeneous RaidZ2 vdev, or is the size limited by the smallest disk in the vdev? Thanks in advance, Vizzini The system is currently running

Hi all, I recently created a RAID-Z1 pool out of a set of 7 SCSI disks, using the following command: # zpool create magicant raidz c5t0d0 c5t1d0 c5t2d0 c5t3d0 c5t4d0 c5t5d0 c5t6d0 It worked fine, but I was slightly confused by the size yield (99 GB vs the 116 GB I had on my other RAID-Z1 pool of same-sized disks). I thought one of the disks might have been to blame, so I tried swapping it out

Hello, Sorry for the (very) long subject but I''ve pinpointed the problem to this exact situation. I know about the other threads related to hangs, but in my case there was no < zfs destroy > involved, nor any compression or deduplication. To make a long story short, when - a disk contains 2 partitions (p1=32GB, p2=1800 GB) and - p1 is used as part of a zfs mirror of rpool

I''m having a serious problem with a customer running a T2000 with ZFS configured as raidz1 with 4 disks, no spare. The machine is mostly a cyrus imap server and web application server to run the ajax app to email. Yesterday we had a heavy slow down. Tomcat runs smoothly, but the imap access is very slow, also through a direct imap client runnining on LAN PCs. We figured out that the 4th

Hi All, over the last couple of weeks, I had to boot from my rpool from various physical machines because some component on my laptop mainboard blew up (you know that burned electronics smell?). I can''t retrospectively document all I did, but I am sure I recreated the boot-archive, ran devfsadm -C and deleted /etc/zfs/zpool.cache several times. Now zpool status is referring to a

Why does zfs define raidz/raidz2/mirror/stripe at the pool level instead of the filesystem/volume level? A sample use case: two filesystems in a eight disk pool. The first filesystems is a stripe across four mirrors. The second filesystems is a raidz2. Both utilizing the free space in the 8 disk pool as needed. Thanks in advance...

We''ve been experimenting with zfs on OpenSolaris 2008.11. We created a pool in OpenSolaris and filled it with data. Then we wanted to move it to a production Solaris 10 machine (generic_137138_09) so I "zpool exported" in OpenSolaris, moved the storage, and "zpool imported" in Solaris 10. We got: Cannot import ''deadpool'': pool is formatted

I was in the process of doing a large zfs send | zfs receive when I decided that I wanted to terminate the the zfs send process. I killed it, but the zfs receive doesn''t want to die... In the meantime my zfs list command just hangs. Here is the tail end of the truss output from a "truss zfs list": ioctl(3, ZFS_IOC_OBJSET_STATS, 0x08043484) = 0 ioctl(3,

My full backup script errorred out the last two times I ran it. I''ve got a full Bash trace of it, so I know exactly what was done. There are a moderate number of snapshots on the zp1 pool, and I''m intending to replicate the whole thing into the backup pool. After housekeeping, I take make a current snapshot on the data pool (zp1). Since this is a new full backup, I then

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.

I just installed build 41 of Nevada on a SunBlade 1500 with 2GB of ram. I wanted to check out zfs since the delay of S10U2 I really could not wait any longer :) I installed it on my system and created a zpool out of an approximately 40GB disk slice. I then wanted to build a version of thunderbird that contains a local patch that we like. So I download the source tar ball. I try to untar it on the

Hi, I want to move all the ZFS fs from one pool to another, but I don''t want to "gain" an extra level in the folder structure on the target pool. On the source zpool I used zfs snapshot -r tank at moveTank on the root fs and I got a new snapshot in all sub fs, as expected. Now, I want to use zfs send -R tank at moveTank | zfs recv targetTank/... which would place all zfs fs

Hey folks, I have no knowledge at all about how streams work in Solaris, so this might have a simple answer, or be completely impossible. Unfortunately I''m a windows admin so haven''t a clue which :) We''re looking at rolling out a couple of ZFS servers on our network, and instead of tapes we''re considering using off-site NAS boxes for backups. We think

Hello all, This is not so much a question but rather a "how-to" for posterity. Comments and possible fixes are welcome, though. I''m toying (for work) with a Solaris 10 VM, and it has a dedicated virtual HDD for data and zones. The template VM had a 20Gb disk, but a particular application needs more. I hoped ZFS autoexpand would do the trick transparently, but it turned out

Hi everyone, Please review the information below regarding access to ZFS version information. Let me know if you have questions.
