Re: [zfs-discuss] limiting the ARC cache during early boot, without /etc/system

2009-08-07 Thread Matt Ingenthron
Besides the /etc/system, you could also export all the pools, use mdb to set the same variable that /etc/system sets, and then import the pools again. Don't know of any other mechanism to limit ZFS's memory foot print. If you don't do ZFS boot, manually import the pools after the

[zfs-discuss] limiting the ARC cache during early boot, without /etc/system

2009-08-05 Thread Matt Ingenthron
Hi, Other than modifying /etc/system, how can I keep the ARC cache low at boot time? Can I somehow create an SMF service and wire it in at a very low level to put a fence around ZFS memory usage before other services come up? I have a deployment scenario where I will have some reasonably large

Off the lists, someone suggested to me that the Inconsistent filesystem may be the boot archive and not the ZFS filesystem (though I still don't know what's wrong with booting b99). Regardless, I tried rebuilding the boot_archive with bootadm update-archive -vf and verified it by mounting it

[zfs-discuss] uncorrectable error during zfs send; what are the right next steps?

2008-03-22 Thread Matt Ingenthron
Hi all, I'm migrating to a new laptop from one which has had hardware issues lately. I kept my home directory on zfs, so in theory it should be straightforward to send/receive, but I've had issues. I've moved the disk out of the faulty system, though I saw the same issue there. The behavior

One update to this, I tried a scrub. This found a number of errors on old snapshots (long story, I'd once done a zpool replace from an old disk with hardware errors to this disk). I destroyed the snapshots since they weren't needed. The snapshot I was trying to send did not have any errors.
