[zfs-discuss] Borked zpool is now invulnerable

2006-05-18 Thread Jeremy Teo
Hello, while testing some code changes, I managed to fail an assertion while doing a zfs create. My zpool is now invulnerable to destruction. :( bash-3.00# zpool destroy -f test_undo internal error: unexpected error 0 at line 298 of ../common/libzfs_dataset.c bash-3.00# zpool status pool:

Sorry to revive such an old thread.. but I'm struggling here. I really want to use zfs. Fssnap, SVM, etc all have drawbacks. But I work for a University, where everyone has a quota. I'd literally have to create 10K partitions. Is that really your intention? Of course, backups become a huge

Why can't we just have user quotas in zfs? :) +1 to that. I support a couple environments with group/user quotas that cannot move to ZFS since they serve brain-dead apps that read/write from a single directory. I also agree that using even a few hundred mountpoints is more tedious than

On the topic of ZFS snapshots: does the snapshot just capture the changed _blocks_, or does it effectively copy the entire file if any block has changed? That is, assuming that the snapshot (destination) stays inside the same pool space. -Erik

Just piqued my interest on this one - How would we enforce quotas of sorts in large filesystems that are shared? I can see times when I might want lots of users to use the same directory (and thus, same filesystem) but still want to limit the amount of space each user can consume. Thoughts?

Since it's not exactly clear what you did with SVM I am assuming the following: You had a file system on top of the mirror and there was some I/O occurring to the mirror. The *only* time, SVM puts a device into maintenance is when we receive an EIO from the underlying device. So, in case
