[zfs-discuss] Force file read even with checksum error

2009-12-10 Thread Stefano Pini

Hi guys,
I have a pool made with three luns striped.
After some scsi retryable messages, happened during a storage activity, zpool 
status start to report one checksum error on one file only.
The zpool scrub find it but don't solve it, and when I try to read the file, I 
get an I/O error. 
Again, when I try to copy the file, I get only some bytes copied, and then 
stops, I mean this is because the next block is in error...
However, I'd like to do some check on this file, especially since I am not 
convinced that the lun is bad and the file corrupted...
Is there a way to force zfs to give me the whole file so I can compare it to my 
backup?
Is there a way to get zfs to give more specifics on the checksum issue (i.e. 
which block, where in file, etc.)?

Thanks,
Stefano

[zfs-discuss] questions about ZFS Send/Receive

2008-07-29 Thread Stefano Pini

Hi guys,
we are  proposing  a customer  a couple of X4500 (24 Tb) used as NAS 
(i.e. NFS server).
Both server will contain the same files and should be accessed by 
different clients at the same time (i.e. they should be both active)

So we need to guarantee that both x4500 contain the same files:
We could simply copy the contents on both x4500 , which is an option 
because the "new files" are in a limited number and rate , but we would 
really like to use ZFS send & receive commands:


AFAIK the commands works fine but  generally speaking are there any 
known limitations ?
And, in detail , it is not clear  if the receiving ZFS file system could 
be used regularly while it is in "receiving mode":
in poor words is it possible to read and export in nfs,   files from a  
ZFS file system while it is receiving update from  another  ZFS send ?


Clearly  until the new updates are received and applied the old copy 
would be used


TIA
Stefano
