How could i monitor zfs ?
or the zpool activity ?
I want to know if anything wrong is going on.
If i could receive those warning by email, it would be great :)

That looks like a real nasty bug description there.
What are the details on that? Is this particular to a given system or
controller config or something liek that or are we talking global to Solaris

Hello,
When files are created that are <= 512 bytes using a raidz pool, how are
full stripe writes performed ?

There's no reason at all why you can't do this. The only thing preventing most
file systems from taking advantage of “adjustable” replication is that they
don’t have the integrated volume management capabilities that ZFS does.
ZFS already allows its storage pools to contain multiple types of blo

I've gone back to solaris from an Infrant box.
1) while the Infrant cpu is sparc, its way, way, slow.

b) any local process, rsync, UPnP, SlimServer is cpu starved

It's easy to corrupt the volume, though -- just copy random data over

Yeah, I ran into that in my t
I am seeing the same behavior on my SunBlade 2500 while running firefox. I

If it was possible to implement raidz/raidz2 expansion it would be a big
