[zfs-discuss] How to get nfs work with zfs?
I am going to share a dir and it's subdir through NFS to Virtual Host, which include XEN(CentOS/netbsd) and ESXi，but failed, the following step is what I did: solaris 11: > zfs create tank/iso > zfs create tank/iso/linux > zfs create tank/iso/windows > > share -F nfs -o rw,nosuid,root=VM-host1:VM-host2 /tank/iso > chmod -R 777 /tank/iso > centos: > mkdir /home/iso > mount -t nfs -o rw,nosuid solaris11:/tank/iso /home/iso > echo "newfile" > /home/iso/newfile.txt success echo "newfile" > /home/iso/linux/newfile.txt failed，and display: permission denied and the, check the dir on solaris11: > ls -al /tank/iso > > drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 8 Dec 5 13:04 . > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4 Dec 2 22:45 .. > drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 bsd > drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 linux > -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 8 Dec 5 12:57 newfile.txt > drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 windows > check the dir on CentOS: > ls -al /home/iso > > drwxr-xr-x+ 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 bsd > drwxr-xr-x+ 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 linux > -rw-r--r--+ 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 8 Dec 5 12:57 newfile.txt > drwxr-xr-x+ 2 root root 2 Dec 2 16:54 windows > I got couple questions: 1、why the owner of newfile.txt is nfsnobody on CentOS, and on solaris, it's nobody? 2、why the subdir do not have write access, how to accomplish it; 3、what does "+" mean? 4、do I need to remount a share dir after changing the file access on solaris(NFS server)？ ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

[zfs-discuss] how to set up solaris os and cache within one SSD
hi, all I am a newbie on ZFS, recently, my company is planning to build a entry-level enterpirse storage server. here is the hardware list: 1 * XEON 5606 1 * supermirco X8DT3-LN4F 6 * 4G RECC RAM 22 * WD RE3 1T harddisk 4 * intel 320 (160G) SSD 1 * supermicro 846E1-900B chassis this storage is going to serve: 1、100+ VMware and xen guest 2、backup storage my original plan is: 1、create a mirror root within a pair of SSD, then partition one the them for cache (L2ARC), Is this reasonable? 2、the other pair of SSD will be used for ZIL 3、I haven't got a clear scheme for the 22 WD disks. any suggestion? especially how to get No 1 step done? ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
