Re: [zfs-discuss] ? ZFS dynamic striping over RAID-Z

2007-08-02 Thread Alderman, Sean
ZFS will stripe across all Root Level VDEVs, regardless of type of VDEV (mirror, raidz, single whole disk, disk slices, whatever). e.g. tank01 mirror c1t0d0 c1t1d0 raidz c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 mirror c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7 Should give you 3 stripes. -- Sean -Original

I am playing with ZFS on a jetStor 516F with 9 1TB E-SATA drives. This is our first real tests with ZFS and I working on how to replace our HA-NFS ufs file systems with ZFS counterparts. One of the things I am concerned with is how do I replace a disk array/vdev in a pool? It appears that is

And 6560174 might be a duplicate of 6445725 I see what you mean. Unfortunately there does not look to be a work-around. It is beginning to sound like firewire drives are not a safe alternative for backup? This is unfortunate when you have an Ultra20 with only 2 disks. Is there a way to

As a novice, I undestand that if you don't have any redundancy between vdevs this is going to be a problem. Perhaps you can add mirroring to your existing pool and make it work that way? A pool made up of mirror pairs: {cyrus4:137} zpool status pool: ms2 state: ONLINE scrub: scrub

Nope, no work-around. OK. Then I have 3 questions: 1) How do I destroy the pool that was on the firewire drive? (So that zfs stops complaining about it) 2) How can I reformat the firewire drive? Does this need to be done on a non-Solaris OS? 3) Can your code diffs be integrated into the
