I'm going to be setting up about 6 virtual machines (Windows Linux) in
either VMWare Server or Xen on a CentOS 5 box. I'd like to connect to a ZFS
iSCSI target to store the vm images and be able to use zfs snapshots for
backup. I have no experience with ZFS, so I have a couple of questions
I'm looking to use ZFS to store about 6-10 live virtual machine images
(served via VMWare Server on Linux) and network file storage for ~50 Windows
clients. I'll probably start at about 1TB of storage and want to be able to
scale to at least 4TB. Cost and reliability are my two greatest concerns.
I have hundreds of Xen-based virtual machines running off a ZFS/iSCSI
service; yes, it's viable. I can't speak for CentOS specifically; our
infrastructure is using Debian Etch with our own build of Xen.
How does ZFS handle snapshots of large files like VM images? Is replication
done on the
I'd like to send a backup of my filesystem offsite nightly using zfs
send/receive. Are those done incrementally so only changes move or would a
full copy get shuttled across everytime?

I've got Samba configured in an active directory domain, but I'm having
issues getting acls to work properly. Adding users or groups via a Windows
client results in the error:
'Unable to save permission changes on myshare. Access is denied.'
I'm running snv_68. Does ZFS have Samba compatible
Hmmm, do I need to wait for Samba 3.0.26?

I would also like to use this module. This bug
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6561700 leads me to believe it
can be used with the current version of Samba.
Do I need to rebuild Samba? If so, does anybody have pointers on doing that?
I'm not having any luck trying to build

I need to format a zfs iscsi target as ntfs (Samba + ADS got the best
of me). How do you recommend setting up the software for optimal
stability? My main concern is how I will handle growing the partition
down the road. Any advice from those experienced in a setup like this
is much appreciated.
I have a 7x150GB drive (+1 spare) raidz pool that I need to expand.
There are 6 open drive bays, so I bought 6 300GB drives and went to
add them as a raidz vdev to the existing zpool, but I didn't realize
the raidz vdevs needed to have the same number of drives. (why is
that?)
My plan now is to,

I've been sending daily incrementals off-site for a while now, but
recently they failed so I had to send an incremental covering a number
of snapshots. I expected the incremental to be approximately the sum
of the snapshots, but it seems to be considerably larger and still
going. The source
