Well, the idea was to see if it could replace the existing NetApps as
that was what Jonathan promised it could do, and we do use snapshots on
the NetApps, so having zfs snapshots would be attractive, as well as
easy to grow the file-system as needed. (Although, perhaps I can growfs
with SVM as well.)
You may be correct about the trust issue though. copied over a small
volume from the netapp:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
1.0T 8.7G 1005G 1% /export/vol1
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
zpool1 20.8T 5.00G 20.8T 0% ONLINE -
So copied 8.7Gb, to compressed volume takes up 5Gb. That is quite nice.
Enable the same quotas for users, then run quotacheck:
[snip]
#282759 fixed: files 0 -> 4939 blocks 0 -> 95888
#282859 fixed: files 0 -> 9 blocks 0 -> 144
Read from remote host x4500-test: Operation timed out
Connection to x4500-test closed.
and it has not come back, so not a panic, just a complete hang. I'll
have to get NOC staff to go power cycle it.
We are bending over backwards trying to get the x4500 to work in a
simple NAS design, but honestly, the x4500 is not a NAS. Nor can it
compete with NetApps. As a Unix server with lots of disks, it is very nice.
Perhaps one day it can mind you, it just is not there today.
