[zfs-discuss] Zfs log device (zil) ever coming to Sol10?
I think we are very close to using zfs in our production environment.. Now that I have snv_72 installed and my pools set up with NVRAM log devices things are hauling butt. I've been digging to find out whether this capability would be put into Solaris 10, does anyone know? If not, then I guess we can probably be OK using SXCE (as Joyent did).

The log device feature integrated into snv_68. You can read about them here: http://blogs.sun.com/perrin/entry/slog_blog_or_blogging_on And starting on page 18 of the ZFS Admin Guide, here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs Albert Chin wrote: On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 12:59:02PM -0400, Andy Lubel wrote: I think we are very close to using zfs in our production environment..

Separate log devices (slogs) didn't make it into S10U4 but will be in U5. Andy Lubel wrote: I think we are very close to using zfs in our production environment..

RAMSAN :) http://www.superssd.com/products/ramsan-400/ I've been digging to find out whether this capability would be put into Solaris 10, does anyone know? I would say it's probably unlikely, but I'll let Neil and the ZFS team speak for that. Do you mind if I ask what you're using ZFS for? - Bryan Today's answer: We want to use it for nearline backups (via nfs), eventually we would like to use zvols+iscsi to serve up for Oracle databases. My future answer: What cant we use ZFS for? If anyone wants to see my iozones just let me know. -Andy Lubel ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

RAMSAN :) http://www.superssd.com/products/ramsan-400/ May I ask roughly what you paid for it. I think perhaps we ought to get one in-house and check it out as well. Thanks: Neil. ~80k for the 128gb model. But we didn't pay anything for it, it was a customer return that the vendor wouldn't take back. Being that they have a fancy (we love) sun logo on the homepage I'm willing to bet that they would send you a demo unit. Let me know if I can help at all with that. -Andy Lubel -- ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Will the SYNC_NV support that was integrated this week be added to update 5 as well? That would be super useful, assuming the major arrays vendors support it.

So far we have just batched up all the bug fixes and enhancements in ZFS and all of them are integrated into the next update. It's easier for us that way as well. Actually the part of we is not usually played by me! Neil. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
