[zfs-discuss] 3 minute hang when iSCSI target disconnected

2008-02-21 Thread Ross
Hey folks, I'm currently testing ZFS mounted on a pair of iSCSI targets, and am having problems if I disconnect either target to simulate a failure. The whole system hangs for almost exactly 3 minutes whenever I do this, even though I'm running a mirrored zpool and the other half of the

1) If i create a raidz2 pool on some disks, start to use it, then the disks' controllers change. What will happen to my zpool? Will it be lost or is there some disk tagging which allows zfs to recognise the disks? It'll be fine. ZFS opens by path, but then checks both the devid and the

Hi all, What is the current preferred method for backing up ZFS data pools, preferably using free ($0.00) software, and assuming that access to individual files (a la ufsbackup/ufsrestore) is required? TIA, -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OGB member CEO, My Online Home Inventory URLs:

I'm now getting about 90 megabytes of sustained IO from the Windows client to an iSCSI target. I'm using HD Tach (http://www.simplisoftware.com) to measure IO. Real world operations now are also averaging about 90 megabytes/second on read and write speeds (large hunks of continuous IO, of

For home use I am making very successful use of zfs incremental send and receive. A script decides which filesystems to backup (based on a user property retrieved by zfs get) and snapshots the filesystem; it then looks for the last snapshot that the pool I'm backing up and the pool I'm

Hi, I have a 3-node(SunFire V890) VCS cluster running Solaris 10 u4 with LUNs from some Sun 6130,6140 and IBM 8100 arrays. It has been working well. But one of the nodes started to have troubles in running ZFS commands this Tue, 2/19. Any ZFS command, e.g., 'zpool import' can take hours to
