Hi all,
Sorry for the newbie question, but I''ve looked at the docs and
haven''t
been able to find an answer for this.
I''m working with a system where the pool has already been configured
and
want to determine what the configuration is. I had thought that''d be
with zpool status -v <poolname>, but it doesn''t seem to agree
with the
configuration that was described to me. Is there another way of getting
the zpool config? This is with nevada build 47, so I can''t use the new
zpool history.
This is what the system is showing me (and looks like a single raidz1
with 47 devices). Either that''s correct and the config described to me
by the admin who set it up is incorrect, or there must be another way to
get the pool configuration:
# zpool status -v
pool: maxPool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

Matt - The ''zpool status -v'' output is guaranteed to be exactly the same as what ZFS sees. The only exception to this is if you run the command as a non-root user, and the device paths have changed, then the path names may be incorrect. Running it once as root will correctly update the paths. You can also try running ''zdb -C'', which will dump the cached nvlist configuration of the pool, but it is not guaranteed to be correct, unlike the ''zpool status -v'' output. If you think there is a bug in zpool(1m), then you can also run ''mdb -k'' and run ''::spa -v'' to show all pools and their configurations. Hope that helps, - Eric On Tue, Oct 24, 2006 at 12:12:10PM -0700, Matt Ingenthron wrote:> Hi all, > > Sorry for the newbie question, but I''ve looked at the docs and haven''t > been able to find an answer for this. > > I''m working with a system where the pool has already been configured and > want to determine what the configuration is.

I''ve discussed this with some guys I know, and we decided that your admin must have given you an incorrect description. BTW, that config falls outside of best practice; The current thinking is to use raid-z group of not much more than 10 disks. You may stripe multiple such groups into a pool though.

[zfs-discuss] Disregard: determining raidz pool configuration
After some quick experimenting, I determined that it is in fact a single raidz pool with all 47 devices. Apparently something was either done wrong or miscommunicated in the process.
