[zfs-discuss] Questions on timing for root pools and vfstab entries
Hello All, I have a ZFS root system with /export and /export/home ZFS file systems from the root pool.When I have additional non-ZFS mounts added to the /etc/vfstab for /export/install or /export/install-Sol10. Upon boot I get an error from the SMF service svc:/system/filesystem/local:default that there is no mount point available for /export/install and /export/install-Sol10. This looks like a race condition as I can issue the mountall and everything works after I login. So the root pool mount of /export takes longer than the filesystem/local SMF service to try and mount the /etc/vfstab entries. I am able to work around this by moving all the /export mounts under /etc/vfstab control (legacy mode for ZFS) as common ground, but wanted to know if there was a bug or other modification that could be made to keep the ZFS auto mounting and management and using the /etc/vfstab for the other non-ZFS file systems ?.

[zfs-discuss] warm spares on a 4540
Hi, In the doc: http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4359-15/CH3-maint.html#50495545_22785 of the 4540 it mentions you can have warm spares. Is there any zfs setting that labels a drive as a warm spare? Or does this not matter if you use the zpool autoreplace property? Thanks in advance, ~~sa -- Shannon A.

[zfs-discuss] How to increase rpool size in a VM?
Hi, I have a build 109 system installed in a VM, and my rpool capacity is getting close to full. Since it's a VM, I can easily increase the size of the disk, or add another, larger disk to the VM. What's the easiest strategy for increasing my capacity? I tried adding a 2nd larger disk, did a zpool attach, waited for resilvering to complete, did a zpool detach of the 1st disk, but then it seemed it couldn't find my grub menu... I couldn't figure out a way to simply add a 2nd disk to the rpool, it seems like it's limited to a single device. Suggestions? Please keep me on the reply list, I'm not subscribed to this list currently. Thanks, Bob ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] How to increase rpool size in a VM?
You need to use 'installgrub' to get the right boot pits in place on your new disk. The manpage for installgrub is pretty helpful.
