Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS Hardware Check, OS X Compatibility, NEWBIE!!
This looks like a great config, but I'm trying to avoid having to run a separate SATA Controller along with any BIOS issues it may have. Does anyone have experience with some of the gforce 8200 boards mentioned earlier in this thread, such as the ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI? At @$90 with 6 SATA ports and decent onboard video, it would provide a good option... assuming that is is supported. Thanks!

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS panics solaris while switching a volume to read-only
I am trying to get a commitment to get this fixed, if you have a server with a whole bunch of SAN attached disks and then use the internals for some sort of temp space if one of those el cheapo sas disks dies it takes down the whole lot, not good. This problem is enought o prevent a roll out of zfs in production. ZFS great for local disks not so great for SAN, sadly all the great features of snapshots clones etc are being missed whilst this bug is till present. What is even more annoying is that this is being treated as a RFE.

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS Project Hardware
Timely discussion. I too am trying to build a stable yet inexpensive storage server for my home lab [...] Other options are that I build a whitebox or buy a new PowerEdge or Sun X2200 etc If this is really just a lab storage server then an X2100M2 will be enough. Just get the minimum spec, buy two 3.5 SATA-II disks (I guess the sweet spot is 750GB right now), and buy 8GB of third party memory to max out the box for ZFS. Then set up a ZFS-rooted Nevada and you're in business. Depending on your requirements, you have slightly over 1.3TB capacity, or about 690GB mirrored. I have just such a machine and am very happy. I do run S10U5 on it since I need the box for other things, too. So I don't have ZFS root. HTH -- Volker -- Volker A.

[zfs-discuss] new install - when is zfs root offered? (snv_90)
I'm trying a new install, creating a solaris partition in free space (p3) which follows Windows XP (p1) and Ubuntu Linux (p2). I want ZFS root, but the interactive installer (choice 1) on the snv_90 DVD does not offer me ZFS root. Anyone know why? or how to work-around the issue? When I did a netinstall using the same DVD (exported from a server I had nearby) on a machine where I let Solaris have the whole disk, it offered ZFS root.

[zfs-discuss] Bad results from importing a pool on two machines at once
As part of testing for our planned iSCSI + ZFS NFS server environment, I wanted to see what would happen if I imported a ZFS pool on two machines at once (as might happen someday in, for example, a failover scenario gone horribly wrong). What I expected was something between a pool with damage and a pool that was unrecoverable. What I appear to have got is a a ZFS pool that panics the system whenever you try to import it. The panic is a 'bad checksum (read on unknown off 0: ... [L0 packed nvlist]' error from zfs:zfsctl_ops_root (I've put the whole thing at the end of this message). I got this without doing very much to the dual-imported pool: - import on both systems (-f'ing on one) - read a large file a few times on both systems - zpool export on one system - zpool scrub on the other; system panics - zpool import now panics either system One system was Solaris 10 U4 server with relatively current patches; the other was Solaris 10 U5 with current patches. (Both 64-bit x86.) What appears to be the same issue was reported back in April 2007 on the mailing list, in the message http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2007-April/039238.html, but I don't see any followups. Is this a known and filed bug? Is there any idea when it might be fixed (or the fix appear in Solaris 10)? I have to say that I'm disappointed with ZFS's behavior here; I don't expect a filesystem that claims to have all sorts of checksums and survive all sorts of disk corruptions to *ever* panic because it doesn't like the data on the disk. That is very definitely not 'surviving disk corruption', especially since it seems to have happened to someone who was not doing violence to their ZFS pools the way I was. - cks [The full panic: Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 809409 kern.notice] ZFS: bad checksum (read on unknown off 0: zio 8e508340 [L0 packed nvlist] 4000L/600P DVA[0]=0:a8000c000:600 DVA[1]=0:1040003000:600 fletcher4 lzjb LE contiguous birth=119286 fill=1 cksum=6e160f6970:632da4719324:3057ff16f69527:10e6e1af42eb9b10): error 50 Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 unix: [ID 10 kern.notice] Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dac0 zfs:zfsctl_ops_root+3003724c () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dad0 zfs:zio_next_stage+65 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9db00 zfs:zio_wait_for_children+49 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9db10 zfs:zio_wait_children_done+15 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9db20 zfs:zio_next_stage+65 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9db60 zfs:zio_vdev_io_assess+84 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9db70 zfs:zio_next_stage+65 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dbd0 zfs:vdev_mirror_io_done+c1 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dbe0 zfs:zio_vdev_io_done+14 () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dc60 genunix:taskq_thread+bc () Jun 3 11:05:14 sansol2 genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] fe8000f9dc70 unix:thread_start+8 () ] ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

[zfs-discuss] Not automatically importing ZFS pools at boot
Is there any way to set ZFS on a system so that it will not automatically import all of the ZFS pools it had active when it was last running? The problem with automatic importation is preventing disasters in a failover situation. Assume that you have a SAN environment with the same disks visible to system A and system B. If system A loses power (or otherwise goes down) with ZFS pools live, you 'zpool import -f' them on system B to get them available again, and system A comes back up, system A will happily import the pools too, despite them being in use on system B.

Thanks for the reply (Will's too - although I see it hasn't posted to the thread). format gets me a list of just my system drive. devfsadm -c disk just spins for a second, but doesn't change anything found under format. cfgadm shows the following: App_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition sata0/0 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata0/1 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata0/2 sata-port empty unconfigured ok sata0/3 sata-port empty unconfigured ok Which looks somewhat promising -- from my un-tutored interpretation of that, it seems to knows there should be 4 SATA devices attached. Still -- nothing shows anything like the c0t1d0 or similar.

On Jun 3, 2008, at 18:34, Paulo Soeiro wrote: This test was done without the hub: FWIW, I bought 9 microSD's and 9 USB controller units for them from NewEgg to replicate the famous ZFS demo video, and I had problems getting them working with OpenSolaris (on VMWare on OSX, in this case). After getting frustrated and thinking about it for a while, I decided to test each MicroSD card and controller independently (using dd) and one of the adapters turned out to be flakey at just writing zeros. It also happened to be the #0 adapter which through me off for a while, since that's where I started. So, then I was still having problems (but I had tested the remaining units), so I went home for the weekend, and left them plugged into their hubs (i-rocks brand seems OK so far), and came back to a system log full of a second adapter dropping out several times over the weekend (though it survived a quick dd). Taking it off the hub, it did the same thing for me if I waited long enough (10 minutes or so - I assume it was getting warmed up). I've also had to replace a server mobo which had a faulty USB implementation (Compaq brand, one of the early USB2.0 chips). Just food for thought - there's a lot to go wrong before ZFS sees it and USB gear isn't always well-made. -Bill - Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] bug id 6462690, SYNC_NV issue
I'm pretty sure that this bug is fixed in Solaris 10U5, patch 127127-11 and 127128-11 (note: 6462690 sd driver should set SYNC_NV bit when issuing SYNCHRONIZE CACHE to SBC-2 devices). However, a test system with new 6140 arrays still seems to be suffering from lots of cache flushes. This is verified by setting zfs_nocacheflush=1 and seeing noticeable improvement in performance. Can someone verify that this fix is indeed in the above release and patch set. If so, then are there parameters that need to be set for this to be active or is there firmware or other updates that need to be loaded into this new array? Any help appreciated.

Re: [zfs-discuss] new install - when is zfs root offered? (snv_90)
How about SPARC - can it do zfs install+root yet, or if not, when? Just got a couple of nice 1TB SAS drives, and I think I'd prefer to have a mirrored pool where zfs owns the entire drives, if possible. (I'd also eventually like to have multiple bootable zfs filesystems in that pool, corresponding to multiple versions.) Is/will all that be possible? Would it be ok to pre-create the pool, and if so, any particular requirements? Currently running snv_81 on a Sun Blade 2000; SAS/SATA controller is an LSI Logic SAS 3800X 8-port, in the 66MHz slot. I chose SAS drives for the first two (of 8) trusting SCSI support to probably be more mature and functional than SATA support, but the rest (as I'm willing to part with the $$) will probably be SATA for price. The current two SAS drives are Seagate ST31000640SS (which I just used smartctl to confirm have SMART support including temperature reporting). Enclosure is an Enhance E8-ML (no enclosure services support).
