Hello, I¹ve got VDI 3.2.1 and I¹m experiencing ZFS iscsi persistence after rebooting the ZFS Solaris 10 (s9/10 s10x_u9wos_14a X86) server so I tried to use NexentaOS_134f as according to http://sun.systemnews.com/articles/145/5/Virtualization/22991, VDI 3.1.1 supports COMSTAR However, with

Is it possible to partition the global setting for the maximum ARC size with finer grained controls? Ideally, I would like to do this on a per zvol basis but a setting per zpool would be interesting as well? The use case is to prioritize which zvol devices should be fully cached in DRAM on a

Hi all As I've said here on the list a few times earlier, the last on the thread 'ZFS not usable (was ZFS Dedup question)', I've been doing some rather thorough testing on zfs dedup, and as you can see from the posts, it wasn't very satisfactory. The docs claim 1-2GB memory usage per terabyte

I'm not sure about *docs*, but my rough estimations: Assume 1TB of actual used storage. Assume 64K block/slab size. (Not sure how realistic that is -- it depends totally on your data set.) Assume 300 bytes per DDT entry. So we have (1024^4 / 65536) * 300 = 5033164800 or about 5GB RAM for one
