Re: [zfs-discuss] [zfs-code] Space allocation failure

Hi Matt, ZFS-team, Problem --- libzpool.so, when calling pwrite(2), splits the write into two. This is done to simulate partial disk writes. This has the side effect that the writes are not block aligned. Hence when the underlying device is a raw device, the write fails. Note: ztest always

Damian, Are you using compression=on? There was a bug in the past (fixed now) where if compression was turned on, it was being computed by a single thread. The ZFS team fixed the user data part of it (i.e user data is compressed in parallel now), but the meta data part is still compressed by one

[zfs-discuss] Is ZFS efficient for large collections of small files?

After reinstalling a snv62 machine and upgrade a snv64a machine to snv70, I'm running into no pools available to import when I try to import two existing pools (that were previously mounted on these machines). On one host (a new install, I wiped out the snv62 install) the hint I'm getting is:
