In reality, it took almost a year to get the feature, and it doesn't even work. We can turn de-dupe off, but it doesn't fix that we have hundreds of TB of de-duped data already written, that we can't delete or destroy the datasets without bricking the systems for days/weeks while the delete is happening. See CR 6924824 if you want the details.

I've opened several cases with Sun with the following issues: ILOM/BMC can't see any drives (status, FRU, firmware, etc) FMA cannot see a drive failure (you can pull a drive, and it could be hours before 'zpool status' will show a failed drive, even during a 'zfs scrub') Hot swapping drives rarely works, system will not see new drive until a reboot Things I've tried that Sun has suggested: New BIOS New controller firmware New ILOM firmware Upgrading to new releases of Osol (currently on 118, no luck) Replacing ILOM card Custom FMA configs Nothing works, and my cases with Sun have been open for about 6 months now, with no resolution in sight. Given that Sun now makes the 7000, I can only assume their support on the more "whitebox" version, AKA X4540, is either near an end, or they don't intend to support any advanced monitoring whatsoever.

It would probably work under bash too, but some of the case checking came from the original Sun scripts, which were in KSH. I looked it up, and bash has -z string checking, so, everything 'should' work under bash. I'll test on Monday I'd love to see others improve on the original Sun ones, or parts of mine...

A partially completed operation may make sense, as when the iSCSI target was block due to a Windows box hanging, and the connection not letting go, a ZFS destroy on that pool never did complete.

[osol-discuss] Mount ZFS hangs on boot
Hello, I have an X4540 running 2008.11 snv_106 I rebooted it tonight since I had a hung iSCSI connection to the Sun box that wouldn't go away (couldn't delete that particular ZFS filesystem till the initiator drops connection) Upon reboot, the system will hang after printing the license header. I then rebooted again with '-m milestone=none' and then went to single user mode after that. It appears "system/filesystem/usr:default" is the service that is hanging during boot. I've looked at 'zpool iostat' and there is a substantial amount of IO happening after you initiate "system/filesystem/usr:default" but it will it there for quite some time and not start. I am unsure what it's doing, zpool status shows 0 errors, all devices normal (46 drives, in 5-6 disk RAIDZ groups). I also loaded arcstat.pl (saw it floating around here) and its showing ~230 ops/sec, with 100% arc misses. Whatever its doing, the load is very random I/O, and heavy, but little progress appears to be happening. I only have about 50 filesystems, and just a handful of snapshots for each filesystem.

I search a bit of at solarisinternals.com and haven't seen anything in this way discussed or mentioned (or maybe my google-fu sucks) It looks like Cacti picked up most performance metrics by default, but it looks like average IO load is missing (read/write ops, mbytes read/write, etc) Does anyone know of any projects that can do what I'm looking for, or extending the defaults of the SNMP service?

Guess I'll create a local mirror before any of the mirrors remove anything, be terrible to lose that stuff. -- Brent Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris PF port
Odd question maybe, but has there been any talk of porting the PF firewall from the OpenBSD project to OpenSolaris? IPF is just fine, but PF is arguably more feature rich. Unfortunately Google didn't return anything, which leads me to believe no movement has happened in this area :( Regards, -- Brent Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
