There are *lots* of options for configuring a Thumper, what you choose really
depends on the kind of performance you want. I found these sites incredibly
helpful in working out what was best for us:

Hey folks,
I can see there's been a fair bit of discussion on this topic in the past, I
wondered if anybody has any feedback on the best way to do this?
We're looking to use ZFS and Samba to serve files to our windows clients, which
means we'll be using NFSv4 permissions. While the data will
Hi,
I'm testing ZFS+CIFS server using nexenta core rc4, everything seems fine and
speed is also ok, but DOS programs don't see sub-dirs (command.com sees them,
though).
I've set casesensitivity=insensitive in the ZFS filesystem that I'm sharing.
I've made this test using Windows2000,
Just a reminder that the ZFS Crypto project is going for PSARC
commitment review this week.

Hi all,
I posted to osol-discuss with this but got no resolution - I'm hoping a
more focused mailing list will yield better results.
I have a ZFS filesystem (zpool version 8, on SXDE 9/07) on which there
was a directory that contained a large number of files (~2 million).
After deleting these

We're currently evaluating ZFS prior to (hopefully) rolling it out across our
server room, and have managed to lock up a server after connecting to an iSCSI
target, and then changing the IP address of the target.
Basically we have two test Solaris servers running, and I followed the
I don't think this is so much a ZFS problem as an iSCSI initiator
problem. Are you using static configs or Send Target discovery? There
are many reports of sent target discovery misbehavior in the storage

To recover:
1. Boot into single user from CD
2. mount the root slice on /a
3.

For what it's worth, I configured a T5220 this week with a 6 disk, three
mirror zpool. (three top level mirror vdevs...).
Used only internal disks...
When pushing to disk, I was seeing bursts of 70 odd MB/s per spindle,
with all 6 spindles making the 70MB/s, so 350MB/s ish.

Hi Al,
Thanks for the tips, I've maxed the memory on the board now (Up to 8GB from
4GB) and you are dead right about it being cheap to do so. I'd upgraded the
power supply as I thought that was an issue since the original couldn't provide
enough start-up current but that didn't make much
So, Solaris, this post is essentially asking for any
obvious suggestions or pointing out pitfalls I may be

direction. Later I'm sure there will be more direct
questions :)

-I'm under the impression that ZFS+(ZFS2) is similar
to RAID6, so for the initial 8x500GB two drives would
be sucked into parity so I'd have a 3TB volume with
the ability to lose two discs, no?
RAIDZ2 is the term you're looking for; and yes, you'd wind up with 3 TB of
usable space.
