Thanks to all those who helped, even despite the non-enterprise approach of this question ;) While experimenting I discovered that Solaris /tmp doesn't seem to support sparse files: mkfile -n still creates full-sized files which can either use up the swap space, or not fit there. ZFS and UFS

[zfs-discuss] Aggregate Pool I/O

2009-01-17 Thread Brad
I'd like to track a server's ZFS pool I/O throughput over time. What's a good data source to use for this? I like zpool iostat for this, but if I poll at two points in time I would get a number since boot (e.g. 1.2M) and a current number (e.g. 1.3K). If I use the current number then I've lost

Sorry folks, the mail server is just too advanced for me. Tfhis email was in the server since 1/14/2009, and coming through now would be very misleading. A side-method for Zhou is that (not for anyone to learn) when trouble comes and we are not ready to deal with the trouble, we just hide

Are you looking for something like: kstat -c disk sd::: Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the documentation for the above should be at: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/zfs-crypto/gate/usr/src/uts/common/avs/ns/sdbc/cache_kstats_readme.txt I'm not sure about the file i/o

Please allow me to contribute some to this question, since this relates to the protocol question years ago that I could not give an answer in a few seconds. [and I still cannot do that today -- no need, I insist.] File I/O and block I/O is very different. While block I/O measurements could be

[Just do not want to be misleading] I think there is one aspect of the Zhou style is heavily misleading. And that is how do we deal with ladies. Personally, I have my opinions about ladies being open and career-minded, but those are not important. What is important, would be how should we deal
