[zfs-discuss] 3 Data Disks: partitioning for 1 Raid0 and 1 Raidz1

2010-05-15 Thread Jason Barr
Hello, I want to slice these 3 disks into 2 partitions each and configure 1 Raid0 and 1 Raidz1 on these 3. What exactly has to be done? Using format and fdisk I know but not exactly how for this setup. In case of disk failure: how do I replace the faulty one? Thank you for a great product

I cannot import - that is the problem. :-( I have read the discussions you referred to (and quite a few more), and also about the logfix program. I also found a discussion where 'zpool import -FX' solved a similar problem so I tried that but no luck. Now I have read so many discussions and

I don't think that is the problem (but I am not sure). It seems like te problem is that the ZIL is missing. It is there, but not recognized. I used fdisk to create a 4GB partition of a SSD, and then added it to the pool with the command 'zpool add vault log /dev/dsk/c10d0p1'. When I try to

Can you recreate the problem with a second pool on a second set of drives, like I described in my earlier post? Right now it seems like your problem is mostly due to the missing log device. I'm wondering if that missing log device is what messed up the initial move to the other controller,
