The OP here is posting the "Z"illion dollar question ... And apologies in advance for the verbal diarrhea. Most of the Enterprise Level systems people here (my company) look at ZFS and say, "Wow that's really cool...but..." What comes after the "but..." is a host of questions that ultimately c

Re: [zfs-discuss] ? ZFS dynamic striping over RAID-Z

2007-08-02 Thread Alderman, Sean
ZFS will stripe across all Root Level VDEVs, regardless of type of VDEV (mirror, raidz, single whole disk, disk slices, whatever). e.g. tank01 mirror c1t0d0 c1t1d0 raidz c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 mirror c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7 Should give you 3 stripes. -- Sean -Original M

Is it possible to convert a plain jane disk (or slice) vdev to a mirror vdev? With SVM (and other Volume Managers) it's not terribly difficult to change a plain meta device to a mirrored meta device. Can this be done with ZFS?... Like convert something similar to... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/]# zpool

This is good news, thank you for the blog! If I may ask a couple of questions to the community on the topic of OLTP workload and ZFS... 1. When evaluating ZFS for our Oracle systems (heavy 8K uncached workload), our DBAs used the ZFS vs. VxFS whitepaper http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/so

Doesn't that then create dependence on the cxtxdxsx device name to be available? /dev/dsk/c2t500601601020813Ed0s0 = path1 /dev/dsk/c2t500601681020813Ed0s0 = path2 /dev/dsk/emcpower0a = pseudo device pointing to both paths. So if you've got a zpool on /dev/dsk/c2t500601601020813Ed0s0 and that pa

You wouldn't happen to be running this on a SPARC would you? I started a thread last week regarding CLARiiON+ZFS+SPARC = core dump when creating a zpool. I filed a bug report, though it doesn't appear to be in the database (not sure if that means it was rejected or I didn't submit it correctly).

Hi all, I'm new to the list as of today, I've come because I'm fascinated with ZFS and my company has just begun an adventure into the unknown with Solaris 10. We've got a few Sun Fire X4200's and a few Sun Fire V245's that we're playing with and we've come to a decision point about how to confi
