Hello, I'm on FreeBSD 9 with ZFS v28, and it's possible this combination is causing my issue, but I thought I'd start here first and will cross-post to the FreeBSD ZFS threads if the Solaris crowd thinks this is a FreeBSD problem. The issue: From carefully watching my ARC/L2ARC size and acti

I've got a system with 24 Gig of RAM, and I'm running into some interesting issues playing with the ARC, L2ARC, and the DDT. I'll post a separate thread here shortly. I think even if you add more RAM, you'll run into what I'm noticing (and posting about). -Original Message- From: zfs-d

2011-04-09 Thread Chris Forgeron
I see your point, but you also have to understand that sometimes too many helpers/opinions are a bad thing. There is a set "core" of ZFS developers who make a lot of this move forward, and they are the key right now. The rest of us will just muddy the waters with conflicting/divergent opinions

Ah, that's all I really need to know. I expected it to be public, but I completely understand the need to keep it private so it can move forward properly. This should hopefully provide enough record for other ZFS well-wishers who are searching for signs of post-Oracle development. -Origin

2011-03-25 Thread Chris Forgeron
I'm curious where ZFS development is going. I've been reading through the lists, and watching Oracle, Nexenta, Illumos, and OpenIndiana for signs of life. The feeling I get is that while there is plenty of userland work being done, there is next to nothing on ZFS development outside of the Orac

Are you running CIFS with any AD integration, or is it functioning in work-group mode? Do you have lockups only when you transfer a lot of data, or will it lock up without any machine working on the CIFS share? How long is "time to time"? -Original Message- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@op

Quick update; George has been very helpful, and there is progress with my zpool. I've got partial read ability at this point, and some data is being copied off. It was _way_ beyond my skillset to do anything. Once we have things resolved to a better level, I'll post more details (with a lot of
