I want to transfer a lot of ZFS data from an old OpenSolaris ZFS mirror (v22) to a new FreeBSD-8.1 ZFs mirror (v14). If I boot off the OpenSolaris boot CD and import both mirrors will the copying from v22 ZFS to v14 ZFS be harmless? I'm not sure if this is teh right mailinglist for this question

zfs data on disk

Where does ZFS keeps its data *on disk* for created/exported/imported vdevs? Is /etc/zfs the only place or are there other places? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To uns

GEOM GPT table is corrupt. Recover?

I wanted to install ZFS on two 1Tb harddisks. I did a fdisk -I /dev/ad12 to begin with, but: GEOM: ad12: the primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid GEOM: ad12: using the secondary instead -- recovery strongly advised. OK, I want to follow up on this advice, but HOW? The "corruption" probably

I'm told it would be better to enable the AHCI driver form my SATA2 drives. It would make ZFS perform better on them. From the release notes I get: FreeBSD cam(3) SCSI framework has been improved and a new k

gmirror of zfs mirror

I'm convinced that ZFS mirroring is far better than gmirroring, but the latter uses much less memory (I think). My server has 3Gb and is solely used as server (web, files/nfs/samba, dns, mail). The data is serves does not change much, so I would think the data integrity checks of ZFS although u

I've installed FreeBSD-amd64. It runs very well. The packages I fetch are amd64 too, but what about the ports I compile myself? Are those amd64 too? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-quest

Years back I ran FreeBSD, so I have some experience. The last couple of years I ran Solaris, followed by Opensolaris. I am very satisfied. However, considering the troubles after Oracle took over I have rebuild my server system under FreeBSD-8.1 (now running as a virtual machine under VirtualB
