[OpenIndiana-discuss] problems with iscsi/taget going offline

2012-08-02 Thread Jonathan Loran
Hi List, I've been fighting an intermittent bugaboo that's driving me crazy. I haven't found anything on the list that shows anyone seeing anything like this. I have a Solaris 10 server that mounts a zpool off of an Openindiana storage server using disks served by iscsi (Comstar). Every so

Hans, I've seen the same problem when using zfs list with -d n, so that it just goes down some depth (I was using 1 as well). I've solved it doing a zfs list without -d and sorting and grepping the result for what I need. Slower, but it did not hang anymore. You need to reboot, though, I've

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Access to ZFS viz CIFS from windows regularly hangs.

2012-08-02 Thread John McEntee
I have an update on my running CIFS and windows saga. Getting samba installed and joined to the domain is a challenge and a half, and is still not authenticating (trying on a test server). What I have done is stop using a dns alias to connect to the OpenIndiana server. So whereas before I was

2012-08-02 Thread Mark Creamer
I'd like to see if I can easily go back and fix a design error I made. I have a zpool called datastore, and under that a filesystem called vmimages. I'm auto-snapshotting at that level, and that's all working fine. However, there are twenty or so sub-directories under datastore/vmimages, each of

Thanks Jan, that sounds easy enough. I'll try it with a non-critical one that I use for testing but your explanation looks like it will be more straightforward than I expected. I appreciate the help. On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 4:59 PM, Jan Owoc jso...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mark, On Thu, Aug 2, 2012
