[zfs-discuss] Any way to fix ZFS "sparse file bug" #6792701
I have a Solaris x86 server running update 6 (Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86). I recently hit this "sparse file bug" when I deleted a 512GB sparse file from a 1.2TB filesystem and the space was never freed up. What I am asking is would there be any way to recover the space in the filesystem without having to destroy and recreate it? I am assuming before trying anything I would need to update the server to U8.

I don''t know the answer to your question, but I am running the same version of OS you are, and this bug could affect us. Do you have any link to any documentation about this bug?

If you have a valid Solaris Support contract you can ask for the corresponding IDR to fix this issue. (Hi to Richard E. ... who must be boiling right now :) ) F.

The Solaris 10 Update 8 has the fix for 6792701 included. This is part of kernel patches 141444-09 (sparc), 141445-09 (x86). For OpenSolaris build 118 or later contains the fix so in the development builds. This avoids future problems with the CR but if your currently effected by the problem the fix doesn''t clear the troubles. I believe a backup of the data, then destroy of the file system, then recreating it and restoring is method to clear the space. With the later kernel the problem is avoided in the future.

Right it would get rid of the CR, but does it free the disk space from an event that occurred prior to patching ?.

IDR''s are fixes for troubles from the initial development state. The patches noted are the official fixes. On Wed, 2010-03-03 at 11:03, Robert Loper wrote:> Can you clarify what this "IDR" is?
