We seem to be having write issues with zfs, does anyone see anything in the following: bash-3.00# kstat -p -n arcstats zfs:0:arcstats:c 655251456 zfs:0:arcstats:c_max 5242011648 zfs:0:arcstats:c_min 655251456 zfs:0:arcstats:class misc zfs:0:arcstats:crtime 5699201.4918501 zfs:0:arcstats:data_size 331404288 zfs:0:arcstats:deleted 408216 zfs:0:arcstats:demand_data_hits

Hello. I have a Solaris 11/11 x86 box (which I migrated from SolEx 11/10 a couple of weeks ago). Without no obvious reason (at least for me), after an uptime of 1 to 2 days (observed 3 times now) Solaris sets arc_no_grow to 1 and then never sets it back to 0. ARC is being shrunk to less than 1 GB -- needless to say that performance is terrible. There is not much load on this system. Memory

Greeting All I have create a pool that consists oh a hard disk and a ssd as a cache zpool create hdd c11t0d0p3 zpool add hdd cache c8t0d0p0 - cache device I ran an OLTP bench mark to emulate a DMBS One I ran the benchmark, the pool started create the database file on the ssd cache device ??????????? can any one explain why this happening ? is not L2ARC is used to absorb the evicted data

Hi gurus, I like zpool iostat and I like system monitoring, so I setup a script within sma to let me get the zpool iostat figures through snmp. The problem is that as zpool iostat is only run once for each snmp query, it always reports a static set of figures, like so: root at exodus:snmp # zpool iostat -v capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read

We have a 32 GB RAM server running about 14 zones. There are multiple databases, application servers, web servers, and ftp servers running in the various zones. I understand that using ZFS will increase kernel memory usage, however I am a bit concerned at this point. root at servername:~/zonecfg #mdb -k Loading modules: [ unix krtld genunix specfs dtrace uppc pcplusmp ufs md mpt ip indmux ptm

We''re starting to grow our ZFS environment and really need to start standardizing our monitoring procedures. OS tools are great for spot troubleshooting and sar can be used for some trending, but we''d really like to tie this into an SNMP based system that can generate graphs for us (via RRD or other). Whether or not we do this via our standard enterprise monitoring tool or

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to know the blocksize of a particular file. I know the blocksize for a particular file is decided at creation time, in fuction of the write size done and the recordsize property of the dataset. How can I access that information?. Some zdb magic?. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea at

Hello. We''re currently using a Sun Blade1000 (2x750MHz, 1G ram, 2x160MB/s mpt scsi buses, skge GigE network) as a NFS backend with ZFS for distribution of free software like Debian (cdimage.debian.org, ftp.se.debian.org) and have run into some performance issues. We are running SX snv_48 and have run with a raidz2 with 7x300G for a while now, just added another 7x300G raidz2 today but

Greetings, all. Does anyone have a good whitepaper or three on how ZFS uses memory and swap? I did some Googling, but found nothing that was useful. The reason I ask is that we have a small issue with some of our DBA''s. We have a server with 16GB of memory, and they are looking at moving over databases to it from a smaller system. The catch is that they are moving to 10g. Oracle
