Dear ZFS experts,
I have 2 SATA 500 GB Hard Drive on my Dual Core PC
I have installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 using Live CD I got from Sun Tech Days in
Singapore
Now, using all the guidelines I got here at Indiana Discussion, I can't attach
my second drive to rpool to make them mirror
Initially
Hi,
I redirected a zfs send stream to a file on a smbfs mount (Windows share):
zfs send snapshot /mnt/win/snapshot.zfs
When zfs receiving this file, the process aborts due to an 'invalid backup
stream' error. zfs receive -nv gives a little bit more information:
Assertion failed: !invalid

Hi Remco,
isn't the ssh example used in a context where you immediately receive the
stream (on another solaris system)? What I'm trying to do is storing a
snapshot on another system or media (tape, dvd,...) and restoring it later. I
know zfs send and receive are not ideal as a backup

Two problems: first, the command needed is 'zpool attach', because
you're making a mirror. 'zpool add' is for extending stripes, and
currently stripes are not supported as root pools.
The second problem is that when the drive is

I do this all the time, to a USB connected external drive. And I have
managed to restore a snapshot too :-)
I don't see why you could mount an NFS mount from the service where you
want to backup too. I wonder if windows does something bad to the file,
is it larger then 2 Gb?
..Remco
Hi Remco,
the snapshots are indeed large files (just over 4gb). I haven't had problems
copying tarballs over 2gb to this share however. I'll tar my home directory
and try to copy that too to find out what happens :-)

I know it's not possible to change a pool to mixed sensitivity mode, but does
anybody know if it's possible to do a send/receive from a pool with this set to

Hi,
Just wondering, why didn't you compress it first?
I'm just trying out the basic zfs features on my home pc. I don't pay a lot of
attentention to network bandwidth or compression at the moment..
And afaik, there's no issue with large files on OpenSolaris, I can copy a
tarball of my home
So are there no guide lines how to add a SSD disk as a home user? Which is the
best SSD disk to add? What percentage improvements are typical? Or, will a home
user not benefit from adding a SSD drive? It is only enterprise SSD drives that
works, together with some esoteric software from
Hi Matthew,
I've seen similar behavior with X4500s on both update 4 and update 5. In both
cases it was a failed disk.
In both our cases any command that accessed a disk in the zpool triggered a
hang I started with dmesg, then /var/adm/messages.
In some cases I was able to run `hd` and see where

I'm not sure any guidelines are needed beyond that which is already
documented in the zpool man page or the ZFS Administration Guide.
What do you believe is missing from those docs?

Is it possible for someone to put up a wiki page somewhere with the various
SSD, ZIL, L2ARC options with Pros, Cons and Benchmarks.
Especially with notes like the below.
Given this is a key area of interest for zfs at the moment, seems like it
would be a useful resource.

From that error message I believe the problem is not

Try adding it to another pool. It should work.
