Re: [zfs-discuss] Need input on implementing a ZFS layout

2006-09-06 Thread Christine Tran
This is a most interesting thread. I'm a little be-fuddled, though. How will ZFS know to select the RAID-Z2 stripes from each FLX380, because if it stripes the (5+2) from the LUNS within one FLX380, this will not help if one frame goes irreplaceably out of service. Let's say the devices are

[zfs-discuss] Some ZFS questions

2006-12-15 Thread Christine Tran
Hi, I guess we are acquainted with the ZFS Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS Customers refer to it, I wonder where the Wiki gets its numbers. For example there's a Sun marketing slide that says unlimited snapshots contradicted by the the first bullet: 2^48 — Number of snapshots

[zfs-discuss] tricking install tools with quota and reservation

Hi, I understands the upgrade issue surrounding the patching and upgrade tools. Can I get around this with some trickery using quota and reservation? I would quota and reserve for a pool/somezonepath some capacity, say 10GB, and in this way allocate a fixed capacity per zonepath. Will this

Crazy question here... but has anyone tried this with say, a QLogic hardware iSCSI card? Seems like it would solve all your issues. Granted, they aren't free like the software stack, but if you're trying to setup an HA solution, the ~$800 price tag per card seems pretty darn reasonable
