[zfs-discuss] Dedupe asynchronous mode?

2009-12-11 Thread Andre Lue
I'm a bit unclear how to use/try de-duplication in asynchronous mode? Can 
someone kindly clarify?

Is it as simple as enabling then disabling after something completes?

Thanks

Re: [zfs-discuss] Something wrong with zfs mount

2009-07-21 Thread Andre Lue
Hi Ian,

Thanks for the the reply. I will check your recommendation when I get a chance. 
However this happens on any zfs that have hierarchical zfs filesystems. I 
noticed it started this problem since snv_114. This same filesystem structure 
last worked fine with snv_110.

[zfs-discuss] Something wrong with zfs mount

2009-07-20 Thread Andre Lue
I have noticed this in snv_114 now at 117.

I have the following filesystems.
fs was created using zfs create pool/fs
movies created using zfs create pool/fs/movies
pool/fs/movies
pool/fs/music
pool/fs/photos
pool/fs/archives

at boot /lib/svc/method/fs-local fails where  zfs mount -a is called. failed to 
mount pool/fs/movies, directory not empty. This send filesystem/local into 
maintenance.

zfs mount -a cannot successful mount this zpool/zfs structure from the command 
line either. Any one knows what's wrong or have any guidance.

Re: [zfs-discuss] eon or nexentacore or opensolaris

2009-06-14 Thread Andre Lue
Js.lists,

My needs are:
* Easy package management
There is no pkgadd or ips included in EON. You can however add IPS and retrieve 
any of its available packages.

* Easy upgrades
EON is fairly easy to upgrade and the risk is low. All you have to do is 
preserve your previous image before upgrading.  If the upgrade is not suitable 
go back to your previous image/release. You can preview the each new release by 
simply burning the image and booting, your current install would remain 
untouched.

* Stability
EON is sxce minimized so it is as stable as the matching snv_xxx release. You 
can also roll your own appliance to include only the bits you need

* Ability to run Splunk
Splunk not included but if there is an ips package or pkgadd version included 
on the snv dvd you could always add or include it if you roll your own 
appliance.

Feel free to give EON a twirl. It will only cost you CD and the time to burn 
and boot it. Or if you have a VM you can test it there. You'll know reallly 
fast if it has enough of a framework for you to add the missing bits you need 
or not. Hope that helps.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Can't access my data

2008-01-18 Thread Andre Lue
I seem to remember hostid being added to the zpool to solve a bug for the poor 
man's storage cluster.

Trying doing a zdb -v ( you should see 4 copies and note if hostid is a field 
and if it differs from the current one)

you can also try a  zpool import -f -a

I've seen cases where zfs mount -v -a fail but a zpool import -f -a works.  I 
don't yet know why but I know zpool import searches /dev/dsk/ trees and my 
hunch is that zfs mount looks for a hostid match.

[zfs-discuss] zfs pool does remount automatically

2008-01-07 Thread Andre Lue
I have a slimmed down build on 61 and 72. None of these systems are 
automatically remounting the zpool on a reboot.

zfs list  returns "no datasets available"
zpool list returns "no pools available"

zfs mount -v -a  runs but doesn't mount the filesystem. I usually have to do a 
zpool import -f pool to get it back.

Does anyone know why this may be happening.

Looking at the ioctl call in libzfs_configs.c  i think "412:ioctl(3, 
ZFS_IOC_POOL_CONFIGS, 0x08046DA4)  = 0" is matching the section of code 
below. 
245 for (;;) {
246 if (ioctl(zhp->zpool_hdl->libzfs_fd, ZFS_IOC_POOL_STATS,
247 &zc) == 0) {
248 /*
249  * The real error is returned in the zc_cookie 
field.
250  */
251 error = zc.zc_cookie;
252 break;
253 }

[zfs-discuss] ZFS and thin provisioning

2007-09-19 Thread Andre Lue
Greets,

Is anyone here using ZFS as a thin provisioned storage solution in production.

If so could you kindly share your experiences and techniques, adding physical 
backing etc. 

thanks

[zfs-discuss] ZFS webadmin

2007-07-02 Thread Andre Lue
Does anyone know the minimum packages needed to make the ZFS webadmin work?

So far It seems you need Java, SUNWjato, tomcat.

thanks

[zfs-discuss] Re: ZFS and thin provisioning

2007-02-02 Thread Andre Lue
thanks Darren! I got led down the wrong path by following newfs.

Now my other question is. How would you add raw storage to the vtank (virtual 
filesystem) as the usage approached the current underlying raw storage?

Would you going forward just simply in the normal fashion ( i will try this 
when I can add another disk)
zpool add vtank cXtXdX

Is there a performance hit for having what seems to be a zfs on top a zpool on 
top a zpool?

[zfs-discuss] Re: ZFS limits on zpool snapshots

As far as I know the recalled on paper number of snapshots you can have in a 
filesystem is 2^48.

[zfs-discuss] ZFS and thin provisioning

2007-02-01 Thread Andre Lue
I found this article (http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=729) 
but I have 2 questions. I am trying the steps on Opensolaris build 54.

Since you create the filesystem with newfs, isn't that really a ufs filesystem 
running on top of zfs? Also I haven't been able to do anything in the normal 
fashion (ie zfs and zpool commands) with the thin provisioned created 
filesytem. Can't even mount it or online it.

Was this just a demo of things to come or is thin provision ready for testing 
in zfs?
