Re: [zfs-discuss] Is ZFS internal reservation excessive?

ok what is the Point of the RESERVE 

When we can not even delete a file when their is no space left !!!

if they are going to have a RESERVE they should make it a little smarter and
maybe have the FS use some of that free space so when we do hit 0 bytes 
data can still be deleted because their is over 50 gig free in the reserve ..

[zfs-discuss] ZFS File / Folder Management

2011-05-17 Thread MasterCATZ
Is it possible to ZFS to keep data that belongs together on the same Pool

( or would these Questions be more related to Raid-Z ? ) 

that way if their is a failure only the Data on the Pool that Failed Needs to 
be replaced 
( or if one Pool failed Does that Mean All the other Pools still fail as well ? 
with out a way to recover data ? ) 

I am Wanting to be able to Expand My Array over Time by adding either 4 or 8 
HDD pools 

Most of the Data will probably never be Deleted 

but say I have 1 gig remaining on the First Pool and adding an 8 gig file 
does this mean the data will be then put onto pool 1 and pool 2 ? 
( 1 gig pool 1 7 gig pool 2 )

or would ZFS be able to put it onto the 2nd pool instead of Splitting it ?

the other scenario would be folder structure would ZFS be able to understand 
data contained in a Folder Tree Belongs together and be able to store it on a 
dedicated pool ?


if so it would be great or else you would be spending for ever replacing data 
from backup if something does go wrong 


sorry if this goes in the wrong spot i could no find
