[zfs-discuss] Query regarding how solaris stores the major number ?

2011-01-05 Thread Deepen Mehta
Hi, zfs_mknode() called from zfs_create() used to create device special file in solaris kernel. I traverse the code and found how they stores the minor number, which is in znode's attributes field. *if* (obj_type == DMU_OT_ZNODE || (vap-va_type == VBLK || vap-va_type == VCHR)) {

Hi Edward, Thank you for the feedback. All makes sense. To clarify, yes, I snapshotted the VM within ESXi, not the filesystems within the pool. Unfortunately, because of my misunderstanding of how ESXi snapshotting works, I'm now left without the option of investigating whether the replaced

I have a filer running Opensolaris (snv_111b) and I am presenting a iSCSI share from a RAIDZ pool. I want to run ZFS on the share at the client. Is it necessary to create a mirror or use ditto blocks at the client to ensure ZFS can recover if it detects a failure at the client? Thanks,

Hi Brandon, I'm not the right person to evaluate your zstreamdump output, but I can't reproduce this error on my b152 system, which as close as I could get to b151a. See below. Are the rpool and radar pool versions reasonably equivalent? In your follow-up, I think you are saying that

Okay. We are trying again to reproduce this on b151a. In the meantime, you could rule out a problem with zfs send/recv on your system if you could create another non-BE dataset with descendent datasets, create a recursive snapshot, and retry the recursive send/recv operation. Thanks, Cindy

We installed b151a and couldn't reproduce a failed receive of a recursive root pool snapshot and also tested on b152 and b155. The original error message isn't very helpful, but your test below points to a problem in your root pool environment. You might review your zpool history -il rpool
