Support will become available in the build 89 or 90 time frame, at the same time that zfs as a root file system is supported. I greatly appreciate this and there is nothing more to do than to wait for zfs being capable of live upgrading. Roman This message posted from opensolaris.org

I'm not sure how this is a ZFS function? You're talking about using ZFS to create a USB drive? So you'd want a small box running ZFS with a USB interface that you can just plug into other computers to access the storage? Well the first problem is that USB cables are directional, and you don't

[zfs-discuss] ZFS ACE limit?

One of my colleagues was testing our ZFS prototype (S10U4), and was wondering what was the limit for ACE's on a ZFS ACL. Empirically, he determined that he could not add more than 1024 ACE's either locally or via NFSv4 from a Solaris client (from a Linux NFSv4 client, it failed adding the 209th

Just to report back to the list... Sorry for the lengthy post So I've tested the iSCSI based zfs mirror on Sol 10u4, and it does more or less work as expected. If I unplug one side of the mirror - unplug or power down one of the iSCSI targets - I/O to the zpool stops for a while, perhaps a

Indeed - If it was 100Mb/s ethernet, 1TB would take near enough 24 hours just to push that much data... Would be great to see some details of the setup and where the bottleneck was. I'd be surprised if ZFS has anything to do with the transfer rate... But an interesting read anyways. :)

Thanks for the info, it looks like this is exactly what I need. However, I'm curious as to why the guys at Sun that are working on this aren't building the ZFS GUI Administration into the existing, web-based ZFS Administration tool? It seems that they're developing a GUI for the GNOME desktop.
