[zfs-discuss] Microsoft WinFS for ZFS?

2008-03-17 Thread Orvar Korvar
Ive heard that WinFS is a filesystem that has some kind of database? I didnt 
understand the advantages because I havent read about it, but it is the best 
thing since sliced bread according to MS.

My question is, because WinFS database is running on top of NTFS, could a 
similar thing be done for ZFS? Implement a database running on top of ZFS, that 
has similar functionality as WinFS? 

(I never understood the advantages of having a database on top of NTFS, maybe 
it would be pointless for ZFS? Can someone knowledgeable give some input to my 
question?)

You should know that WinFS is simply a modified MS SQL Server with a
passthrough to NTFS for filestream objects. The public releases of WinFS
weren't doing anything special. The data store were regular MDB files
hidden in x:\System Volume Information and filestream blobs files with
GUIDs as name also hidden in that folder.

The advantage was supposed to be an unified data store, where data would
be stored in structured formats instead of binary blobs, unless it
wasn't possible otherwise (e.g. JPEG image data, where as EXIF data
would have been extracted and stored in the structured parts). Like
this, every application supporting WinFS would be able to share their
data between each other.

[zfs-discuss] ZFS Send and recieve

2008-03-17 Thread Mertol Ozyoney
Hi All ;

 

I am not a Solaris or ZFS expert and I am in need of your help. 

 

When I run the following command

 

zfs send -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ssh 10.10.103.42 zfs receive
-F data/data41  

 

if some one is accessing data/data41 folder system gives the following error
message

 

cannot umount . device is busy  

 

 

I assume this is notmal. I want to know how I can suspend the user accessing
the folder until send and recieve command finishes it's job. 

 

 

Best regards

Mertol

Object-oriented content management could be run on any sort of 
underlying file system.  It is just a layer on top.

 (I never understood the advantages of having a database on top of 
 NTFS, maybe it would be pointless for ZFS? Can someone knowledgeable 
 give some input to my question?)

ZFS just provides storage.  It seems that the problem with 
object-oriented content management is that a user interface needs to 
be provided, which is not standardized in any way.  This user 
interface needs to be used to put content into the system, to find 
content in the system, and to use content from the system.  There also 
needs to be a way to back everything up.  If the content management 
knows about the internal structure of the objects, then it might 
provide a way to access a document so that all of the objects (e.g. 
figures) used by that document are visible and may be updated.

There are likely some mainframe environments which do this sort of 
thing, but mainframes are essentially closed systems so the mainframe 
vendor has more control.

(This is probably more appropriate on the zfs-discuss list which I have copied.)

I know of no way to simply add the third disk and migrate from a

I would plan on implementing your second alternative which is to

I don't think this is a simple question.  The way ZFS is designed,
you could plug a new module into the DMU.  Most people interface
with the ZPL (POSIX Layer) module, with some folks using ZVols.
There is nothing to say that you can't come up with another module

[zfs-discuss] FiberChannel, and EMC tutorial?

2008-03-17 Thread Kyle McDonald
Hi all,

Can anyone explain to me, or point me to any docs that explain how the 
following numbers map together?

I have multiple LUNS exported to my HBA's from multiple EMC arrays.

zpool status, and /dev/dsk show device names like:

c0t600604838794003753594D333837d0  ONLINE   0 0 0
c0t600604838794003753594D333838d0  ONLINE   0 0 0
c0t600604838794003753594D333839d0  ONLINE   0 0 0

c0t600604838794003753594D333844d0  ONLINE   0 0 0

but cfgadm shows disk names like:

c4::5006048dc7dfb170
c5::5006048dc7dfb17e
c7::5006048dc7dfb17e

How do these numbers break down?

I noticed the zpool or /dev/dsk nubmers all have a 'D' in them, what is 
represented by the number after the 'D'?
What is the number before the 'D' made up from?

I'm guessing at least part of the number befre the 'D' comes from the 
WWN of the array? Does part come from the Disk in the array? or does the 
array make up part of it so that that part is unique to the LUN? Or is 
all the LUN info in the number after the 'D'?

I've also noticed that if you change the leading 5 in the cfgadm output, 
to a 6, then the first 7 digits of cfgadm output match up with the first 
7 digits of Y in the cXtYdZ number. I've tried converting the remainder 
'dc7dfb170' from Hex to Dec, and I don't get anythign that even 
resembles the '38794003753594' part of the target.

How does this work?

These LUNs are all 11GB slices from the EMC Arrays which are filled with 
146GB drives. Since this is a lab environment I beleive the EMC arrays 
are configured with no redundancy. What I'd like to know, is how can I 
tell which LUNs might live on the same physical drives?

Re: [zfs-discuss] Microsoft WinFS for ZFS?

2008-03-17 Thread Bryan Wagoner
Actually, having a database on top of an FS is really useful.  It's a Content 
Addressable Storage system.One of the problem home users have is that they 
are putting more and more of their lives in digital format.  Users need a way 
to organize and search all that info in some sort of meaningful way.  Imagine 
having thousands of photos spread all over your filesystems with nothing but 
filenames associated with them. That's not too easily searchable or organized.  

Imagine all the objects stored on your filesystem have tags associated with 
them or other metadata that is required at save time.  Then you can start doing 
things like virtual folders.  Imagine a folder on your windows desktop that 
says Steely Dan and when you click it runs a query shows you all the music 
files on your computer by Steely Dan and pretends to be an explorer windows.  
or a virtual folder that says Springbreak 2008 pics  and when you click it it 
goes through all your gagillion photos and creates an explorer window of just 
the spring break pics. 

Today, you'd have to tag the Metadata yourself as you put content on your 
computer,  but Microsoft has other initiatives to do facial recognition in 
photos and some other things to go along with the Content addressable storage 
system.

There's a lot of uses for Content Addressable Storage systems including 
revision control and some other things that home users can benefit from.  At 
the Enterprise level, such a system would be something like the 5800(Honeycomb) 
from Sun.

Woah, why would you spend 1600$ on that tower?  For a LOT less money, you
can have more drives, and all hot swappable.

So yeah, you just supported what I said about a database on top of a filesystem 
being useful because HFS uses a database type structure for it's catalog. It's 
an object based storage but the schema in HFS isn't as extensible as to what 
I'm referring to in future Content Addressable Storage systems. There's more 
than WinFs obviously out there including the future versions of SAM-FS/QFS, but 
the thread was about WinFS specifically.

I'm not sure where you got that price. Newegg has the CFI-B8283 for

Nope. But AFAIK OpenSolaris doesn't support port multipliers yet. Maybe
FreeBSD does.

Keep in mind that three modern drives (334GB/platter) are all it takes to
saturate a SATA 3.0Gbps link.

 It's also easier to use an external disk box like the CFI 8-drive eSATA tower
 than find a reasonable server case that can hold that many drives.

If you are willing to go cheap you can get something that holds 8 drives for
$70: buy a standard tower case with five internal 3.5 bays ($50), and one of
these enclosures that fit in two 5.25 bays but give you three 3.5 bays ($20).

I don't have a Symmetrix here to check (have to wait 'til tomorrow), but 
your Symmetrix should have a serial number of
387940037
and you have mapped the symmetrix IDs 387-38D in the above example:

600604838794003753594D333837

. 006048
should be the vendor identifier for EMC

. 387940037
Serial-No. of your Symmetrix

. 53594D
ASCII code of SYM

. 333837
ASCII code of 387


Some of the information above was built from the WWN information, some 
from the SCSI inquiry (esp. the serial number). You can get a full 
inquiry of your disk with:

# format -e c0t600604838794003753594D333837d0s2
format scsi
scsi inquiry

In the hexdump of the full inquiry information you can find
. 8 bytes vendor ID (EMC ),
. followed by 16 bytes product ID (SYMMETRIX   )
. folled by (up to) 20 bytes serial number.
In the serial number you will find again the symdev (387) of this device 
and the last few digits of the serial number.


With the EMC SE tools you can query more information of your symdevs:

symdev -sid 037 show 387

will show under Backend Configuration the real disks where this device 
is located.

I was actually rereading the Solaris ZFS Administration Guide; based on
it the behavior I want should already be available:


The ZFS file system includes two property modes related to ACLs:

aclinherit - This property determines the behavior of ACL inheritance.

Values include the following:

passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them. This mode, in effect,
disables secure mode.


aclmode - This property modifies ACL behavior whenever a file or
directory's mode is modified by the chmod command or when a file is
initially created.

Values include the following:

passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them.


This documentation would seem to indicate that if both aclinherit and
aclmode are set to passthrough, then the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them.

However, as I originally posted, the inheritable ACL entries I configured
are being munged. Based on the documentation, this behavior is broken.

Apologies for the threadjack (um, again) but did you know that the
RS690 chipset would be supported before buying it, or did you get the
output from lspci elsewhere, or did you just hope?

Looking at the device list from
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/devicelist/ , there's no indication
that the 690 will work with Solaris. In fact, the ahci driver (which
is what you mentioned you're using) doesn't even show up on that list.
The SXDE man page for ahci only lists support for the Intel ICH6/7/8/9
and VIA vt8251. (
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2254/ahci-7d?a=view )

The lack of documentation for supported devices is a general complaint
of mine with Solaris x86, perhaps better taken to the
opensolaris-discuss list however.

 I suspect at least some of the membership would be interested in this

 on a fs-by-fs basis like every other zfs tunable) takes you out of POSIX
 land.
 
 I was actually rereading the Solaris ZFS Administration Guide; based on
 it the behavior I want should already be available:
 
 
 The ZFS file system includes two property modes related to ACLs:
 
 aclinherit - This property determines the behavior of ACL inheritance.
 
 Values include the following:
 
   passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
   inherited with no changes made to them. This mode, in effect,
   disables secure mode.
 
 
 aclmode - This property modifies ACL behavior whenever a file or
 directory's mode is modified by the chmod command or when a file is
 initially created.
 
 Values include the following:
 
   passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
   inherited with no changes made to them.
 
 
 This documentation would seem to indicate that if both aclinherit and
 aclmode are set to passthrough, then the inheritable ACL entries are
 inherited with no changes made to them.
 
 However, as I originally posted, the inheritable ACL entries I configured
 are being munged. Based on the documentation, this behavior is broken.
 
 

The documentation in the admin guide isn't quite correct.

I will go ahead and do a fastrack to get the behavior that many people 
want.  Basically, if inheritable ACEs are present for owner@, group@, 
everyone@ then the inherited ACE permissions will override the requested 
mode of the application.  If no inheritable ACEs are present for owner@, 
group, or everyone@ then the mode will be used.

*Sweet*!!! That sounds perfect!

Is that something that might be backported to production Solaris 10 in a
patch? Or something that would have to wait for an update release? We are
currently prototyping an NFSv4/Samba file services implementation for our
campus, management is requiring official support for the OS so OpenSolaris
isn't really an option; but I don't think we can deploy without this fix.

Thanks much...

No guarantees, but I think it should be back portable to Solaris 10.
