Oh I can run the disks off a SiliconImage 3114 but it's the marvell controller that I'm trying to get working. I'm sure it's the controller which is used in the Thumpers so it should surely work in solaris 11.1 From: Bob Friesenhahn

3112 and 3114 were very early SATA controllers before there were any SATA drivers, which pretend to be ATA controllers to the OS. No one should be using these today. sol wrote: Oh I can run the disks off a SiliconImage 3114 but it's the marvell controller that I'm trying to get working. I'm

Hi I've just tried to use illumos (151a5)  import a pool created on solaris (11.1) but it failed with an error about the pool being incompatible. Are we now at the stage where the two prongs of the zfs fork are pointing in incompatible directions? From:

Hi I added a 3TB Seagate disk (ST3000DM001) and ran the 'format' command but it crashed and dumped core. However the zpool 'create' command managed to create a pool on the whole disk (2.68 TB space). I hope that's only a problem with the format command and not with zfs or any other part of

Oracle effectively forked ZFS with the release of Solaris 11 by not open-sourcing any of the ZFS code. Solaris 11 includes ZFSv31 or higher. The last open-source release of ZFS was ZFSv28. Thus, if you create a pool on Solaris 11+ that you want to import on other systems, you have to manually

That is a touch misleading. This has always been the case since S10u2. You have to create the pool AND the file systems at the oldest versions you want to support. I maintain a table of pool and version numbers on my blog (blogs.oracle. com/bobn) for this very purpose. I got lazy the

At this point, the only thing would be to use 11.1 to create a new pool at 151's version (-o version=) and top level dataset (-O version=). Recreate the file system hierarchy and do something like an rsync. I don't think there is anything more elegant, I'm afraid. That's what I did

Re: [zfs-discuss] S11 vs illumos zfs compatiblity

2012-12-13 Thread Bob Netherton
Perhaps slightly elegant, you can do the new pool/rsync thing on the 11.1 live CD so you don't actually have to stand up a new system to do this. Assuming this is x86 and VirtualBox works on Illumos, you could fire up a VM to do this as well. Bob Sent from my iPhone On Dec 13, 2012, at

Adrian, That is cool! Thank you so much! BTW, anyone played NDMP in solaris? Or is it feasible to transfer snapshot via NDMP protocol? Before the acquisition, SUN advocated the NDMP backup feature in the openstorage/fishwork. I am sorry if it is the wrong place to ask this question. Thanks.

Add the HPN patches to OpenSSH and enable the NONE cipher.  We can saturate a gigabits link (980 mbps) between two FreeBSD hosts using that. Without it, we were only able to hit ~480 mbps on a good day. If you want 0 overhead, there's always netcat. :) 980mbps is awesome! I am thinking running
