[zfs-discuss] How many files directories in a ZFS filesystem?

2010-12-09 Thread David Strom
Looking for a little help, please. A contact from Oracle (Sun) suggested I pose the question to this email. We're using ZFS on Solaris 10 in an application where there are so many directory-subdirectory layers, and a lot of small files (~1-2Kb) that we ran out of inodes (over 30 million!).

2010/12/8 gon...@comcast.net: To explain further the  slow delete problem: It is absolutely critical for zfs to manage the incoming data rate. This is done reasonably well for write transactions. Delete transactions, prior to dedup, were very light-weight, nearly free, so these are not

[zfs-discuss] ZFS Prefetch Tuning

2010-12-09 Thread Tony Marshall
Hi All, Is there a way to tune the zfs prefetch on a per pool basis?  I have a customer that is seeing slow performance on a pool the contains multiple tablespaces from an Oracle database, looking at the LUNs associated to that pool they are constantly at 80% -

Hello Tony, If the hardware hasn't changed I'd look at the workload on the database server. If the customer is taking regular statspack snapshots they might be able to see whats causing the extra activity. They can use AWR or the diagnostic pack, if they are licensed, to see the offending SQL or

Hi I'd certainly look at the sql being run, examine the explain plan and in particular SQL_TRACE, TIMED_STATISTICS, and TKPROF, these will really highlight issues. see following for autotrace which can generate explain plan etc.

[zfs-discuss] ZFS send/receive while write is enabled on receive side?

Hi all, from much of the documentation I've seen, the advice is to set readonly=on on volumes on the receiving side during send/receive operations. Is this still a requirement? I've been trying the send/receive while NOT setting the receiver to readonly and haven't seen any problems even though
