1. Connect USB storage device (a disk) to machine 2. Find USB device through rmformat 3. Try zpool create on that device. It fails with: can't open "/dev/rdsk/cNt0d0p0", device busy If your disk was originally formatted with pcfs or ufs, it would be automounted when connected. If you didn'

while playing around with ZFS and USB memory sticks or USB harddisks, rmvolmgr tends to get in the way, which results in a can't open "/dev/rdsk/cNt0d0p0", device busy Do you remember exactly what command/operation resulted in this error? It is something that tries to open device exclusive

Re: [zfs-discuss] zfs on removable drive

2006-10-26 Thread Artem Kachitchkine
I thought that using a zfs import/export into it's own pool would work, It works for me, at least on recent builds. The only gotcha I'm aware of is that ZFS does not do well with I/O failures in a non-replicated pool - it used to panic when there was read failure on a single-disk USB pool,

# fstyp c3t0d0s0 zfs s0? How is this disk labeled? From what I saw, when you put EFI label on a USB disk, the "whole disk" device is going to be d0 (without slice). What do these commands print: # fstyp /dev/dsk/c3t0d0 # fdisk -W /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0 # fdisk -W /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0 -Artem. _

I've updated the blog entry, no hacking around is necessary anymore. 'svcadm disable volfs' is still recommended (vold/volfs will be completely removed soon). USB is just an interface board slapped on the disk, there are disks with both USB and SATA interfaces - you can connect with either cab

AMD Geodes are 32-bit only. I haven't heard any mention that they will _ever_ be 64-bit. But, honestly, this and the Via chip aren't really ever going to be targets for Solaris. That is, they simply aren't (any substantial) part of the audience we're trying to reach with Solaris x86. Didn'

I'm not sure if a unplug event generates FMA event, but it will generate a unplug event ( I think it some different from a error ) which will be caught by tamarack Tamarack is mostly for the desktop. Sure you can use it to do automatic 'zfs import' on hotplug, but not for fault recovery. FMA
