[zfs-discuss] 1tb SATA drives

2010-07-16 Thread Jordan McQuown
I'm curious to know what other people are running for HD's in white box 
systems? I'm currently looking at Seagate Barracuda's and Hitachi Deskstars. 
I'm looking at the 1tb models. These will be attached to an LSI expander in a 
sc847e2 chassis driven by an LSI 9211-8i HBA. This system will be used as a 
large storage array for backups and archiving.

Thanks,
Jordan

Does anyone have a contact from whom I could purchase an STEC SSD?

Thank you,

 Subject: [zfs-discuss] Looking for 3.5 SSD for ZIL

 Hello all,

 I am shopping around for 3.5 SSDs that I can mount into my storage and use
 as ZIL drives.
 As of yet, I have only found 3.5 models with the Sandforce 1200, which was
 not recommended on this list.
 Does anyone maybe know of a model that has the Sandforce 1500 and is
 3.5? Or any other 3.5 SSD that he/she can recommend?

I have not personally used one, but I have received recommendations for the 
STEC ZeusRAM. It is a 3.5 SAS RAM-based, flash-backed SSD. I was quoted a 
shade under $3K USD for an 8GB unit. My understanding is that these have to be 
ordered through an integrator and there is a significant lead time.

There are 2.5-3.5 adapter shells that you should be able to use for any/all of 
the 2.5 SSDs on the market.

-Will

[zfs-discuss] Cannot remove zil device

2011-03-27 Thread Jordan McQuown
The pool was originally created on 2008.11 then upgraded to 2009.06 and again 
upgraded to snv-134. Originally I was using Intel x25e's as the zil but 
recently purchased a zeusRAM and when trying to remove the Intel I issue the 
zpool remove command and it appears to work. Yet when I do a zpool status the 
Intel device is still a pool member. Any thoughts?

Did you remember to upgrade the pool itself?  Not just the OS, but the pool, 
too, need to be upgraded.

You'll need to run a 'zpool upgrade' on the pool with the log device.

Only later versions of ZFS supported removal of the ZIL.

IIRC, the zpool version supported by 2008.11 definitely didn't, and I'm pretty 
sure the 2009.06 version didn't either, but b134 definitely does.

I've tried on pool version 22 and 26 at this point under openindiana.

I have a pool that is experiencing the same problem (currently at version 26).  
I've been able to remove zil devices from it before but at some point they 
become stuck.  The zpool remove command completes with no error, but the 
device is never really removed and remains in the pool. 
zpool iostat will show no activity to the device however, and the alloc column 
shows 16.0E.  It is possible to do a zpool replace on the device, but the 
replacing device will end up in the same state (unusable and unable to be 
removed).

I've also tried replacing and removing the replacing device with no luck. I'm 
able to remove the zeusRAM without issue which seems rather puzzling.

I had a similar problem that turned out to be a PEBKAC - I tried to remove 
devices in a mirror, not the mirror with the devices... Can you paste the 
command(s) you're using for this?

Btw, log device removal is in from zpool v19, so the one you're using should 
work.

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

 The Deskstar 3TB come off the same production line as the Ultrastar 5k3000. I
