I need help on this and don't know what to give to customer.
System is V40z running Solaris 10 x86 and customer is trying to create 3 disks as Raidz. After creating the pool, looking at the disk space and configuration, he thinks that this is not raidz pool but rather stripes. THis is what exactly he told me so i'm not sure if this makes sense to all of you.
Any assistance and help is greatly appreciated. THank you in advance, Arlina NOTE: Please email me directly as i'm not on this alias. Below are more informations. ================= Command used: # zpool create pool raidz c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 From the format command: 0. c1t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 8921 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci17c2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 1. c1t2d0 <FUJITSU-MAT3073NC-0104-68.49GB> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci17c2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 2. c1t3d0 <FUJITSU-MAT3073NC-0104-68.49GB> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci17c2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 3. c1t4d0 <FUJITSU-MAT3073NC-0104-68.49GB> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci17c2,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 The pool status: # zpool status pool: pool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE (B READ WRITE CKSUM pool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors The df -k output of te newly created pool as raidz. # df -k Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on pool 210567168 49 210567033 1% /pool I can create a file that is large as the stripe of the 3 disks. So the information reported is correct. Also, if I pull a disk out, the whole zpool fails! There is no degraded pools, it just fails. =========================================== _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
