Re: [zfs-discuss] Resilver endlessly restarting at completion

This seems to have been a false alarm, sorry for that. As soon as I started paying attention (logging zpool status, peeking around with zdb mdb) the resilver didn't restart unless provoked. A cleartext log would have been nice (restarted due to c11t7 becoming online). A slight problem i can see

Hi Sridhar, After a zpool split operation, you can access the newly created pool by using the zpool import command. If the LUNs from mypool are available on host1 and host2, you should be able to import mypool_snap from host2. After mypool_snap is imported, it will be available for backups, but

Hi all I just discovered WD Black drives are rumored not to be set to allow TLER. Does anyone know how much performance impact the lack of TLER might have on a large pool? Choosing Enterprise drives will cost about 60% more, and on a large install, that means a lot of money... Vennlige

I'm not sure on the TLER issues by themselves, but after the nightmares I have gone through dealing with the 'green drives', which have both the TLER issue and the IntelliPower head parking issues, I would just stay away from it all entirely and pay extra for the 'RAID Editiion' drives. Just

My immediate reaction to this is time to avoid WD drives for a while; until things shake out and we know what's what reliably. But, um, what do we know about say the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ($70), the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1TB ($75), or the HITACHI Deskstar 1TB 3.5 ($70)? I've seen several
