Hello All In the near future we can only buy drives with physical block sizes 4096b and greater. Drives with 512b are EOL.
Here in the wiki http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/ZFS+and+Advanced+Format+disks Jim Klimov reported. In the list of AF drives we can found a lot of drives, but the list is IMHO not complete. I want to install it on a Kingston SSDnow 200/30GB This are the informations I need: root@arche:~# root@arche:~# iostat -Er | grep -i vendor | sort | uniq Vendor: ATA ,Product: KINGSTON SS200S3 ,Revision: 05.1 ,Serial No: xxxxx root@arche:~# root@arche:~# echo ::sd_state | mdb -k | egrep '(^un|_blocksize)' un 0: ffffff04e92926c0 un_sys_blocksize = 0x200 un_tgt_blocksize = 0x200 un_phy_blocksize = 0x1000 un_f_tgt_blocksize_is_valid = 0x1 un 1: 0 ... ... root@arche:~# When I installing Omnios on this SSD the installer make rpool only ashift=9 and not ashift=12 or 13 itself. Ok, new installation going to CLI and instert: ,-----[sd.conf]----- | sd-config-list = | "ATA Samsung SSD 840 ", "physical-block-size:8192", | "ATA Kingston SS200S3", "physical-block-size:4096"; `------------------- Exit CLI and follow the standard installation procedure with 'F2'. After reboot from SSD I get a warning on Console: ,-----[CLI]----- | WARNING: Disk, '/dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0', has a block alignment that is | larger than the pool's alignment `------------------- rpool ist not what I want. root@arche:~# root@arche:~# zdb | egrep 'ashift| name' name: 'rpool' ashift: 9 When deleting the upper entry in sd.conf no Message appear any more. Question: Must rpool set ashift=9 independent on the drive? Depends on the omnios installer? Is there a way to install rpool with ashift=12 or 13? Thx in advance. -- Best Regards Alexander März, 23 2014 ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
