What would be the commands for the three way mirror or an example of what your describing. I thought the 200gb would have to be the same size to attach to the existing mirror and you would have to attach two LUN disks vs one LUN. Once it attaches it automatically reslivers or syncs the disk

with zfs you can compress data on disk ...that is a grat advantage when doing backup to disk also, for DSSU you need to multiply number of filesystem (1 fs per stu), the advantage of zfs is that you don't need to fix the size of the fs upfront (the space is shared among all the fs) s- On Jan 10,

AFAIK , nbu does of estimated the size of backup prior starting the job. as the backup job is split in fixed-size segments , if a segment does not fit, it will try to backup into another disk or will wait for more space On Jan 15, 2008 8:42 PM, Paul Kraus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 1/15/08,

There's really no way to recover from this, since we don't have device removal. However, I'm suprised that no warning was given. There are at least two things that should have happened: 1. zpool(1M) should have warned you that the redundancy level you were attempting did not match that of

[zfs-discuss] RFE: File revisions on ZFS

2008-01-15 Thread Paul
Wouldn't it be nice to have file revisions implemented in ZFS? Mainframe FS (e.g. MVS) have this, and I think it should not be too hard to implement this in ZFS. Use Cases: * Simple configuration management, below SCCS etc. * Simple built-in FS trash bin * Set # of revisions high for user homes
