Re[2]: Journaling Filesystem ?

The big win with a journaling FS is when you have to reboot the system. With Softupdates, you still have to fsck. On a large FS (say half a terabyte) that can take hours. With a JFS, you simply play the log forward and continue. -joe -- Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications 994 San Antonio

SOFTUPDATES code in 3.0-RELEASE

Is this code included, or must it be patched in? Is softupdates enabled by default or do I have to use a special mount flag? Thanks, Joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications 1235 Pear Ave, Suite 107 Mountain View, CA 90403 Phone: 650-969-2203 Cell: 415-710-4894 Fax: 650-969-2124 To

Re: Speed improvements in ZFS

When I watch the activity leds of the disks on one of our ZFS servers, I notice there will be a burst of activity for 3 or 4 seconds, then no activity for a couple of seconds, then it repeats. Is that normal? Thanks, joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications j...@via.net 650-207-0372 cell 650

Preparing ZFS drives

Folks, I want to buy some 16TB drives and raid them up How should I label and prepare the drives for ZFS? Someone ought to write a ‘cookbook’ on that! Do I need to start the volume on a particular sector boundary? Are the 4096 byte sector drives usable? Thanks, Joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet

Re: Preparing ZFS drives

Freddie, Thanks! I have to say that this is the most cogent explanation on how to prepare ZFS drives that anyone has ever given me. Thanks again! Joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications j...@via.net 650-207-0372 cell 650-213-1302 office 650-969-2124 fax > On Jan 12, 2021, at 10:32

How to setup ZFS mirrored boot device

until it wants to mount the root partition, can’t find it, dumps me into a menual drive selection prompt. Hmm, I thought the point of a mirror was that *either* drive could fail. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications j...@via.net 650-207-0372 cell 650-213

Re: How to setup ZFS mirrored boot device

I did a scrub, it finished within 30 seconds. But the error was that it could not find the boot device it was looking for. I’ve seen this before: If you create a boot device in slot 0 (gets named da0) then move that drive to a different slot, FreeBSD will fail in the same manner. Joe McGuckin

Re: zpool import: "The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data" but zpool status -x: "all pools are healthy" and zpool destroy: "no such pool"

ng ok’ because all the existing pools are ok. zpool destroy can’t destroy the pool becuase it has not been imported. I simply created a new pool specifying the drive address of the disk - zfs happily overwrote the old incomplete pool info. joe Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications j...@via.net 650-207
