zdb -C shows an shift value on each vdev in my pool, I was just wondering if it is vdev specific, or pool wide. Google didn''t seem to know. I''m considering a mixed pool with some "advanced format" (4KB sector) drives, and some normal 512B sector drives, and was wondering if the ashift can be set per vdev, or only per pool. Theoretically, this would save me some size on

The time has come to expand my OpenSolaris NAS. Right now I have 6 1TB Samsung Spinpoints in a Raidz2 configuration. I also have a mirrored root pool. The Raidz2 configuration should be for my most critical data - but right now it is holding everything so I need to add some more pools and move some data around. To start I need a vdev I will call "temp" that acts as a networked bit

Nothing like a "heart in mouth moment" to shave tears from your life. I rebooted a snv_132 box in perfect heath, and it came back up with two FAULTED disks in the same vdisk group. Everything an hour on Google I found basically said "your data is gone". All 45Tb of it. A postmortem of fmadm showed a single disk failed with smart predictive failure. No indication why the

Hi, I cannot boot Windows XP domU on SXCE104 dom0. It was running for weeks.. Is it a known bug? # virsh start wxpp01 & # virsh dumpxml wxpp01 <domain type=''xen'' id=''-1''> <name>wxpp01</name> <uuid>fb96e8c9-940d-7e0a-12ef-f167a7f1102c</uuid> <os> <type>hvm</type>

Hi, Did anyone try to install Windows 7 beta within xVM? I tried that on SXCE105 but the Windows installer says me "STOP: 0x0000007E". -- Regards, Piotr Jasiukajtis | estibi | SCA OS0072 http://estseg.blogspot.com

Hi, I was trying to download the Crossbow ISO from : http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/ under "Crossbow Beta iso images June 6 2008" and it failed. Does anyone know of a link which is working ? Thanks for any pointers ! Regards, Sanjeev.

Hi all Has anyone done any testing with dedup with OI? On opensolaris there is a nifty "feature" that allows the system to hang for hours or days if attempting to delete a dataset on a deduped pool. This is said to be fixed, but I haven''t seen that myself, so I''m just wondering... I''ll get a 10TB test box released for testing OI in a few weeks, but before

FYI, Seagate has announced a new enterprise SSD. The specs appear to be competitive: + 2.5" form factor + 5 year warranty + power loss protection + 0.44% annual failure rate (AFR) (2M hours MTBF, IMHO too low :-) + UER 1e-16 (new), 1e-15 (5 years) + 30,000/25,000 4 KB read IOPS (peak/aligned zero offset) + 30,000/10,500 4 KB write IOPS (peak/aligned zero offset)

All, I have a problem with a new Seagate hard disk. The problem occurs when i go to install CentOS, i insert the cd and start the boot up process, when it gets to the section where it detects the hard disks, the driver is seems crashes, the message it produces complains about no one caring about a interrupt on IRQ11. The hard disk is a Seagate 200GB 8MB SATA150 NCQ drive, on a SilliconImage

Hi there, http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/download/seatoold_en.exe Seagate offers a Windows executable (needs Win98 or better, 1,9MB) that should create 2 bootable floppy disks that contain a harddrive check program. Invoking "wine seatoold_en.exe" works, but when the floppy should be written, an error occurs "insert 1.44 MB...click retry". I tried to mount a DOS

hi guys I have rather a large set of Seagate's SAS ST32000444SS, over a hundred - experience I'm having from those in conjunction with their tech support is abysmal. I'm trying to update firmware of these drives and nothing works, including tech support. ... and I cannot help but wonder - is just me who is so unlucky and getting very, very poor support(taking naturally only of

Happy Friday, List! I''m spec''ing out a Thumper-esque solution and having trouble finding my favorite Hitachi Ultrastar 2TB drives at a reasonable post-flood price. The Seagate Constellations seem pretty reasonable given the market circumstances but I don''t have any experience with them. Anybody using these in their ZFS systems and have you had good luck? Also, if

Hi all, As a disclaimer, I'm new to this list and very green administering CentOS. I run it on my test servers and do very basic networking and server administration (most users, permissions, and web app stuff). I have a backup server that I am using rsync to collect important in-process file for our digital library from both Windows and Linux servers, as well as a specific applications

Hi list, I''ve got a system with 3 WD and 3 seagate drives. Today I got an email that zpool status indicated one of the seagate drives as REMOVED. I''ve tried clearing the error but the pool becomes faulted again. Taken out the offending drive and plugged into a windows box with seatools install. Unfortunately seatools finds nothing wrong with the drive. Windows seems to see

Hi all, I''m getting a very strange problem with a recent OpenSolaris b134 install. System is: Supermicro X5DP8-G2 BIOS 1.6a 2x Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 1.0b 11 Seagate Barracuda 1TB ES.2 ST31000340NS drives If I have any of the 11 1TB Seagate drives plugged into the controller, the AOC-SAT2-MV8 BIOS appears to detect them just fine, but I get the following problems: 1. Grub takes a

Well this is a new one.... Illumos/Openindiana let me add a device as a hot spare that evidently has a different sector alignment than all of the other drives in the array. So now I''m at the point that I /need/ a hot spare and it doesn''t look like I have it. And, worse, the other spares I have are all the same model as said hot spare. Is there anything I can do with this or

Hello, Does anyone have experience backing up their samba SMB shares with an NT-based backup system? I'm using Seagate Backup Exec 7.0, and whenever I select a share on Samba, I get a message saying "Unable to connect to server, <F5> to retry", and then another one saying "A device specefic error occured". My samba shares are all fully operational (I can access them

Hi Franck, to my knowledge, the Backup Exec service "runs" under a certain user. In most cases it is the user who installed it, so very often "Administrator". Now if you try to backup a Samba share, Backup Exec tries to retrieve the files of this share and has to authenticate to the Samba Server. I suspect it will do this with the "credentials" of the user the Backup

Hello list, I''m having trouble with a server holding a lot of data. After a few months of uptime, it is currently rebooting from a lockup (reason unknown so far) but it is taking hours to boot up again. The boot process is stuck at the stage where it says: mounting zfs filesystems (1/5) the machine responds to pings and keystrokes. I can see disk activity; the disk leds blink one after
