mmmI double checked some of the running systems. Most of them have the first patch (sparc-122640-05 and x86-122641-06), but not the second one (sparc-142900-09 and x86-142901-09)... ...I feel I'm right in the middle of the problem... How much am I risking?! These systems are all mirrored via

Yes...they're still running...but being aware that a power failure causing an unexpected poweroff may make the pool unreadable is a pain Yes. Patches should be available. Or adoption may be lowering a lot... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

[zfs-discuss] Daily snapshots as replacement for incremental backups

2010-05-10 Thread Gabriele Bulfon
Hello, I have a situation where a zfs file server holding lots of graphic files cannot be backed up daily with a full backup. My idea was initially to run a full backup on Sunday through the lto library on more dedicated tapes, then have an incremental backup run on daily tapes. Brainstorming on

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS on ZFS based storage?

2010-05-07 Thread Gabriele Bulfon
Thanks for your suggestions :) Another thing comes to my mind (expecially after a past bad experience with a buggy storage non-zfs backend). Usually (correct me if I'm wrong) the storage will be having redundancy on its zfs volumes (be it mirror or raidz). Once the redundant volume is exposed as

Hi, I would love some suggestions for an implementation I'm going to deploy. I will have a machine with 4x1T disks, going to be a file server for both windows and osx clients through smb/cifs. I have read on zfs best practices articles that slicing is not suggested (unless you want to just create

Hello, I'd like to check for any guidance about using zfs on iscsi storage appliances. Recently I had an unlucky situation with an unlucky storage machine freezing. Once the storage was up again (rebooted) all other iscsi clients were happy, while one of the iscsi clients (a sun solaris sparc,
