[zfs-discuss] zfs+nfs: scary nfs log entries?

2009-08-19 Thread Blake Irvin
I have a zfs dataset that I use for network home directories. The box is running 2008.11 with the auto-snapshot service enabled. To help debug some mysterious file deletion issues, I've enabled nfs logging (all my clients are NFSv3 Linux boxes). I keep seeing lines like this in the nfslog:

This is really great information, though most of the controllers mentioned aren't on the OpenSolaris HCL. Seems like that should be corrected :) My thanks to the community for their support. On Mar 12, 2009, at 10:42 PM, James C. McPherson james.mcpher...@sun.com wrote: On Thu, 12 Mar

I'm having a very similar issue. Just updated to 10 u6 and upgrade my zpools. They are fine (all 3-way mirors), but I've lost the machine around 12:30am two nights in a row. I'm booting ZFS root pools, if that makes any difference. I also don't see anything in dmesg, nothing on the console

As jritorto is noting, I think the issue here is whether the fix has been backported to Solaris 10 5/08 or 10/08. It's a nasty problem to run into on a production machine. In my case, I'm restoring from tape because my pool went corrupt waiting for resilvers to finish which were getting

I'm using Neelakanth's arcstat tool to troubleshoot performance problems with a ZFS filer we have, sharing home directories to a CentOS frontend Samba box. Output shows an arc target size of 1G, which I find odd, since I haven't tuned the arc, and the system has 4G of RAM. prstat -a tells me
