2009-11-04 Thread Ben
ile on the server everything was fine. I did notice while playing that SSH'ing to the server was taking a stupid amount of time (perhaps 40 seconds to as for my password and finally connect). I presume SSH didn't time out as quickly as the mount request did. Many thanks to you all :) Ben -

Hey Guys, I'm trying to tune my NFS enviroment and have yet to make any improvement, I was hoping someone could offer some experience in this situation. Here's the problem: I've got a bunch of X4100 clients (NV_B43) and a Thumper (NV_B43) NFS server using ZFS for storage. I'm currently u

2006-12-07 Thread Ben Rockwood
I wanted to add one more piece of information to this problem that may or not may be helpful. On an NFS client if we just do "ls" commands over and over and over we can snoop the wire and see TCP retransmits whenever the CPU is burned up. nfsstat doesn't record these retransmits, they are happ

Can someone please clarify the ability to utilize ACL's over NFSv3 from a ZFS share? I can "getfacl" but I can't "setfacl". I can't find any documentation in this regard. My suspicion is that that ZFS Shares must be NFSv4 in order to utilize ACLs but I'm hoping this isn't the case. Can anyon

[nfs-discuss] ZFS and ACL's over NFSv3

2008-06-05 Thread Ben Rockwood
For the archives sake I'll say that this question was answered on the ZFS list by Mark Shellenbaum. Short answer, NFSv3 does not support ACL's when served from ZFS, use NFSv4. See the message of the same subject on ZFS-Discuss for the full reply. benr. This message posted from opensolaris

Is there a "standard" or "recommended" way of securing the various client daemons (statd and lockd for NFSv3, add mapid and cbd for NFSv4)? Even with rpcbind set to local_only the ports are still accessible and thus exploitable. Is a IPFilter the only real solution? benr. This message pos

I was able to duplicate this problem on a test Ultra 10. I put in a workaround by adding a service that depends on /milestone/multi-user-server which does a 'zfs share -a'. It's strange this hasn't happened on other systems, but maybe it's related to slower systems
