I have a huge problem with ZFS pool fragmentation. I started investigating problem about 2 weeks ago http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=34423&tstart=0 I found workaround for now - changing recordsize - but I want better solution. The best solution would be a defragmentator tool, but I can see that it is not easy. When ZFS pool is fragmented then: 1. spa_sync function is

I''m really angry against ZFS: My server no more reboots because the ZFS spacemap is again corrupt. I just replaced the whole spacemap by recreating a new zpool from scratch and copying back the data with "zfs send & zfs receive". Did it copied corrupt spacemap?! For me its now terminated. I loss to much time and money with this experimental filesystem. My version is Zpool

Hi forum, I did something stupid the other day, managed to connect an external disk that was part of zpool A such that it appeared in zpool B. I realised as soon as I had done zpool status that zpool B should not have been online, but it was. I immediately switched off the machine, booted without that disk connected and destroyed zpool B. I managed to get zpool A back and all of my data appears

I have a huge problem with space maps on thumper. Space maps takes over 3GB and write operations generates massive read operations. Before every spa sync phase zfs reads space maps from disk. I decided to turn on compression for pool ( only for pool, not filesystems ) and it helps. Now space maps, intent log, spa history are compressed. Not I''m thinking about disabling checksums. All

Short question: I''m curious as to how ZFS manages space (free and used) and how its usage interacts with thin provisioning provided by HDS arrays. Is there any effort to minimize the number of provisioned disk blocks that get writes so as to not negate any space benefits that thin provisioning may give? Background & more detailed questions: In Jeff Bonwick''s blog[1], he

Apologies for the blank message (if it came through). I have heard here and there that there might be in development a plan to make it such that a raid-z can grow its "raid-z''ness" to accommodate a new disk added to it. Example: I have 4Disks in a raid-z[12] configuration. I am uncomfortably low on space, and would like to add a 5th disk. The idea is to pop in disk 5 and have

I was wondering if it''s planned to give some control over the metaslab allocation into the hands of the user. What I have in mind is an attribute on a ZFS filesystem that acts as modifier to the allocator. Scenarios for this would be directly controlling performance characteristics, e.g. having system and application files being allocated on the inner side of the platter while pushing

Running a zpool scrub on our production pool is showing a scrub rate of about 400K/s. (When this pool was first set up we saw rates in the MB/s range during a scrub). Both zpool iostat and an iostat -Xn show lots of idle disk times, no above average service times, no abnormally high busy percentages. Load on the box is .59. 8 x 3GHz, 32GB ram, 96 spindles arranged into raidz zdevs on OI 147.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 zpool and zfs report different free space because zfs takes into account an internal reservation of 32MB or 1/64 of the capacity of the pool, what is bigger. So in a 2TB Harddisk, the reservation would be 32 gigabytes. Seems a bit excessive to me... - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea at jcea.es -

Hello all, I have an oi_148a PC with a single root disk, and since recently it fails to boot - hangs after the copyright message whenever I use any of my GRUB menu options. Booting with an oi_148a LiveUSB I had around since installation, I ran some zdb traversals over the rpool and zpool import attempts. The imports fail by running the kernel out of RAM (as recently discussed in the list with

I''m running FreeBSD 8.1 with ZFS v15. Recently some time after moving my mirrored pool from one device to another system crashes. From that time on zpool cannot be used/imported - any attempt fails with: solaris assert: sm->space + size <= sm->size, file: /usr/src/sys/moules/zfs/../../cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/space_map.c, line: 93 Debugging reveals that:

Does ZFS currently attempt to group metadata in large sector-ranges on the disk? Can this be expected to happen "automagically" - i.e. during each TXG close we have to COW-update whole branches of the blockpointer tree, so these new blocks might "just happen" to always coalesce into larger sector groups? Rationale: larger regions dedicated to smallish block pointers might be

Hi there! I am new to the list, and to OpenSolaris, as well as ZPS. I am creating a zpool/zfs to use on my NAS server, and basically I want some redundancy for my files/media. What I am looking to do, is get a bunch of 2TB drives, and mount them mirrored, and in a zpool so that I don''t have to worry about running out of room. (I know, pretty typical I guess). My problem is, is that

Hi I know some of this has been discussed in the past but I can''t quite find the exact information I''m seeking (and I''d check the ZFS wikis but the websites are down at the moment). Firstly, which is correct, free space shown by "zfs list" or by "zpool iostat" ? zfs list: used 50.3 TB, free 13.7 TB, total = 64 TB, free = 21.4% zpool iostat: used

Hi. System is snv_56 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440, zil_disable=1 We see many operation on nfs clients to that server really slow (like 90 seconds for unlink()). It''s not a problem with network, there''s also plenty oc CPU available. Storage isn''t saturated either. First strange thing - normally on that server nfsd has about 1500-2500 number of threads. I did

I''m migrating to ZFS and Solaris for cluster computing storage, and have some completely static data sets that need to be as fast as possible. One of the scenarios I''m testing is the addition of vdevs to a pool. Starting out, I populated a pool that had 4 vdevs. Then, I added 3 more vdevs and would like to balance this data across the pool for performance. The data may be

Hi,all I did some test about MySQL''s Insert performance on ZFS, and met a big performance problem,*i''m not sure what''s the point*. Environment 2 Intel X5560 (8 core), 12GB RAM, 7 slc SSD(Intel).

Hi, guys, I have add devid support for EFI, (not putback yet) and test it with a zfs mirror, now the mirror can recover even a usb harddisk is unplugged and replugged into a different usb port. But there is still something need to improve. I''m far from zfs expert, correct me if I''m wrong. First, zfs should sense the hotplug event. I use zfs status to check the status of the
