Re: [zfs-discuss] Kernel panic on ZFS import - how do I recover?

2010-09-28 Thread Meilicke, Scott
Brilliant. I set those parameters via /etc/system, rebooted, and the pool
imported with just the ­f switch. I had seen this as an option earlier,
although not that thread, but was not sure it applied to my case.

Scrub is running now. Thank you very much!

 After you get the variables set and system booted, try importing, then running
 a scrub.

 I posted this on the www.nexentastor.org http://www.nexentastor.org
 forums, but no answer so far, so I apologize if you are seeing this twice. I
 am also engaged with nexenta support, but was hoping to get some additional
 insights here. 
 
 I am running nexenta 3.0.3 community edition, based on 134. The box crashed
 yesterday, and goes into a reboot loop (kernel panic) when trying to import
 my data pool, screenshot attached. What I have tried thus far:
 
 Boot off of DVD, both 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 beta 8. 'zpool import -f data01' causes
 the panic in both cases.
 Boot off of 3.0.4 beta 8, ran zpool import -fF data01
 That gives me a message like Pool data01 returned to its stat as of ...,
 and then panics.
 
 The import -fF does seem to import the pool, but then immediately panic. So
 after booting off of DVD, I can boot from my hard disks, and the system will
 not import the pool because it was last imported from another system.
 
 I have moved /etc/zfs/zfs.cache out of the way, but no luck after a reboot
 and import.
 
 zpool import shows all of my disks are OK, and the pool itself is online.
 
 Is it time to start working with zdb? Any suggestions?
 
 This box is hosting development VMs, so I have some people idling their
 thumbs at the moment.
 
 Thanks everyone,
 
 -Scott

Interesting. We must have different setups with our PERCs. Mine have  
always auto rebuilt.

Sorry, not correct.  When you replace a failed drive, the perc card  
doesn't

know for certain that the new drive you're adding is meant to be a
replacement.  For all it knows, you could coincidentally be adding  
new disks
for a new VirtualDevice which already contains data, during the  
failure
state of some other device.  So it will not automatically resilver  
(which
would be a permanently destructive process, applied to a disk which  
is not

*certainly* meant for destruction).

You have to open the perc config interface, tell it this disk is a
replacement for the old disk (probably you're just saying This disk  
is the
new global hotspare) or else the new disk will sit there like a  
bump on a

log.  Doing nothing.

Thank you Bob and Richard. I will go with A, as it also keeps things simple.
One physical device per pool.

 The ZIL device will never require more space than RAM.
 In other words, if you only have 16 GB of RAM, you won't need
 more than that for the separate log.
 
 Does the wasted storage space annoy you? :-)
 
 What happens if the machine is upgraded to 32GB of RAM later?
 
 The write performace of the X25-E is likely to be the bottleneck for a
 write-mostly storage server if the storage server has excellent
 network connectivity.

Thanks Ed. It sounds like you have run in this mode? No issues with  
the perc?

My plan is to put the SSD into an open disk slot on the 2950, but  
will

have to configure it as a RAID 0, since the onboard PERC5 controller
does not have a JBOD mode.


You can JBOD with the perc.  It might be technically a raid0 or  
raid1 with a

single disk in it, but that would be functionally equivalent to JBOD.
