[zfs-discuss] SSD vs "hybrid" drive - any advice?

2011-07-21 Thread Gordon Ross
I'm looking to upgrade the disk in a high-end laptop (so called "desktop replacement" type). I use it for development work, runing OpenIndiana (native) with lots of ZFS data sets. These "hybrid" drives look kind of interesting, i.e. for about $100, one can get:  Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS 5

Anyone know why my ZFS filesystem might suddenly start giving me an error when I try to "ls -d" the top of it? i.e.: ls -d /tank/ws/fubar /tank/ws/fubar: Operation not applicable zpool status says all is well. I've tried snv_139 and snv_137 (my latest and previous installs). It's an amd64 box. B

[zfs-discuss] zpool autoexpand property - HowTo question

2008-08-22 Thread Gordon Ross
I noted this PSARC thread with interest: Re: zpool autoexpand property [PSARC/2008/353 Self Review] because it so happens that during a recent disk upgrade, on a laptop. I've migrated a zpool off of one partition onto a slightly larger one, and I'd like to somehow tell zfs to grow the zpool to fi

2008-08-22 Thread Gordon Ross
I'd like to experiment with storing the boot archive on a compact flash that emulates an IDE hard disk, but then have the root pool on a 4-disk raidz set. (I'm using OpenSolaris) Anyone have suggestions on how to go about this? Will I need to set rootdev in /etc/system to tell the kernel the root

[zfs-discuss] Interim way to pfinstall into zfs root?

2007-10-03 Thread Gordon Ross
Has anyone figured out a way to make pfinstall work sufficiently to just pkgadd all the packages in a DVD (or netinstall) image into a new ZFS root? I have a ZFS root pool and an initial root FS that was copied in from a cpio archive of a previous UFS root. That much works great. BFU works for th
