On snv_129, a zfs upgrade (*not* a zpool upgrade) from version 3 to version 4 caused the desktop to freeze - no response to keyboard or mouse events and clock not updated. ermine% uname -a SunOS ermine 5.11 snv_129 i86pc i386 i86pc ermine% zpool upgrade This system is currently running ZFS pool version 22. The following pools are out of date, and can be upgraded. After being upgraded, these

Hello, I am desperate. Today I realized that my OS 108 doesn''t want to boot. I have no idea what I screwed up. I upgraded on 108 last week without any problems. Here is where I''m stuck: Reading ZFS config: done. Mounting ZFS filesystems: (1/17) cannot mount ''/export'': directory is not empty (17/17) $ svcs -x svc:/system/filesystem/local:default (local file

Hi, After upgrading to b95 of OSOL/Indiana, and doing a ZFS upgrade to the newer revision, all arrays I have using ZFS mirroring are displaying errors. This started happening immediately after ZFS upgrades. Here is an example: ormandj at neutron.corenode.com:~$ zpool status pool: rpool state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was

In the last few days my performance has gone to hell. I''m running: # uname -a SunOS nissan 5.11 snv_150 i86pc i386 i86pc (I''ll upgrade as soon as the desktop hang bug is fixed.) The performance problems seem to be due to excessive I/O on the main disk/pool. The only things I''ve changed recently is that I''ve created and destroyed a snapshot, and I used

I have a system that I''m trying to bring up with a mirrored rpool. I''m using DarkStar''s ZFS Root Mirror blog post as a guide (http://darkstar-solaris.blogspot.com/2008/09/zfs-root-mirror.html). When I get to step 3 I execute: pfexec prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c7d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c7d1s2 I get: fmthard: Cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c7d1s2 - Permission denied Any

I am running OpenSolaris build 134 on a T1000 (Sparc). It has been an uphill battle getting this far. Many of the commands I find in the various documentation won''t work for me. ------------------------------------------------------------ steve@t1000:~# pfexec pkg install xvm-gui Creating Plan pkg: ''xvm-gui'' matches multiple packages

I''m looking for a way to backup my entire system, the rpool zfs pool to an external HDD so that it can be recovered in full if the internal HDD fails. Previously with Solaris 10 using UFS I would use ufsdump and ufsrestore, which worked so well, I was very confident with it. Now ZFS doesn''t have an exact replacement of this so I need to find a best practice to replace it.

Hi folks, I''m having (as the title suggests) a problem with zfs send/receive. Command line is like this : pfexec zfs send -Rp tank/tsm@snapshot | ssh remotehost pfexec zfs recv -v -F -d tank This works like a charm as long as the snapshot is small enough. When it gets too big (meaning somewhere between 17G and 900G), I get ssh errors (can''t read from remote host). I tried

While testing a zpool with a different storage adapter using my "blkdev" device, I did a test which made a disk unavailable -- all attempts to read from it report EIO. I expected my configuration (which is a 3 disk test, with 2 disks in a RAIDZ and a hot spare) to work where the hot spare would automatically be activated. But I''m finding that ZFS does not behave this way

Greetings, my Opensolaris 06/2009 installation on an Thinkpad x60 notebook is a little unstable. From the symptoms during installation it seems that there might be something with the ahci driver. No problem with the Opensolaris LiveCD system. Some weeks ago during copy of about 2 GB from a USB stick to the zfs filesystem, the system froze and afterwards refused to boot. Now when investigating

root at nas:~# zpool export -f raid cannot export ''raid'': pool is busy I''ve disabled all the services I could think of. I don''t see anything accessing it. I also don''t see any of the filesystems mounted with mount or "zfs mount". What''s the deal? This is not the rpool, so I''m not booted off it or anything like that.

Hi, I''m trying to let zfs users to create and destroy snapshots in their zfs filesystems. So rpool/vm has the permissions: osol137 19:07 ~: zfs allow rpool/vm ---- Permissions on rpool/vm ----------------------------------------- Permission sets: @virtual clone,create,destroy,mount,promote,readonly,receive,rename,rollback,send,share,snapshot,userprop Create time permissions:

Hi. Is it possible on Solaris 10 5/09, to rollback to a ZFS snapshot, WITHOUT destroying later created clones or snapshots? Example: --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT at 01 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT at 02 --($ ~)-- sudo zfs clone rpool/ROOT at 02 rpool/ROOT-02 --($ ~)-- LC_ALL=C sudo zfs rollback rpool/ROOT at 01 cannot rollback to ''rpool/ROOT at 01'': more

I''ve got a CentOS 5.3 dom0 with Xen 3.4.1-rc5 (or so). I''ve tried the same stuff below with 3.4.0, no difference. I''m trying to install 2009.06 PV domU based on instructions from [1] and [2]. I can run the install fine, I can also get the kernel and boot archive (from [2]) after the install. But for the life of me I can''t get the installed domU to boot. If I

I''ve hit this bug on my home machine couple of times and finally decided to log it since I''ve spend 2 days configuring my "OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86" and after installing the SUNWsmbfskr package I ended up in the grub> menu. The package contains a necessary module for CIFS. After pkg install SUNWsmbfskr, I rebooted the box. There was no grub menu anymore

Greetings, I have a problem that is baffling me. My host machine is an older Dual Xeon machine that does not support HVM - PAE is supported. I have 2008.11 b98 installed as Dom0. I''m trying to install the same as a DomU. In the DomU, I''m starting the ssh service, logging in with X forwarding and starting the gui with: (dom1) jack$ pfexec gui-install The gui displays on my

Is it possible to convert Solaris 10 DomU from hvm to pv?? Dom0 is Opensolaris b132. Possibly any Documentation about this? Here is config of Solaris DomU: <domain type=''xen'' id=''1''> <name>Solaris-10</name> <uuid>c505f6c3-b37b-8268-fe46-f10b3277238b</uuid> <memory>2097152</memory>

I had to use the labelfix hack (and I had to recompile it at that) on 1/2 of an old zpool. I made this change: /* zio_checksum(ZIO_CHECKSUM_LABEL, &zc, buf, size); */ zio_checksum_table[ZIO_CHECKSUM_LABEL].ci_func[0](buf, size, &zc); and I''m assuming [0] is the correct endianness, since afterwards I saw it come up with "zpool import". Unfortunately, I
