Re: [smartos-discuss] Strange problem with df
Sorry - false alarm. It’s hanging due to a stale NFS mount. Once I cleared the stale mount, it ran cleanly. Again, sorry for bothering the list with this.

I tracked it down to a “df -h” command that is executing in the script. When I execute “/usr/bin/df -h”, even from the command line, the program hangs after printing everything out. My last download was in April, and that worked just fine. Anybody else seeing a similar problem with df?

Re: [smartos-discuss] Printing
Haven't tried CUPS in a zone yet, but you will probably want to get that working first. Bother suggests [1] for freebsd to use the generic postscript/PCL driver, something similar for joyent will probably work. If you need to use any of the linux binary driver blobs like [2] for a printer without native postscript, then it may be better to setup a separate kvm/linux zone.

And the additional need for a SLOG (like ZeusRam) is def. not required because of my pool being set as sync=disabled ? I'm not sure about how sync=disabled affects metadata updates. It doesn't, metadata is async. You might ask on the ZFS list if this really matters to you. However given your streaming-only workloads I would not expect you to have a lot of metadata I/O anyway, and you'd probably want logbias=throughput even so. So I wouldn't use a slog given what you've described, unless I found a specific performance problem in situ that I had isolated to the ZIL. agree, this is a use case where sync=disabled makes good business sense -- richard --- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
