As someone who has zero insider information and feels that there isn't much 
push at oracle to develop or release new zfs features, I have to assume it's 
not coming. The only way I see it becoming a reality is if someone in the 
illumos community decides to do the work required to put it in.

Hi,

Anyone knows if there is any progress on bp_rewrite ? Its much awaited to solve 
re-distribution issue, and moving vdevs.


Regards,

Ram

You obviously missed the thread we had recently about the new ZFS 
features that Solaris 11 and 11.1 have.  ZFS is very much in active 
feature, bugfix and performance improvement at Oracle for current and 
future versions of Solaris and the ZFS Storage Appliance.


BP rewrite is actually very complex to do correctly and safely - it it 
wasn't I'm sure it would have been done by now by multiple people!

As for BP rewrite, Darren already noted, it is in a whole special class
of hard to do.

As for the community involvement: we welcome everybody at Illumos. It's
of course impossible to do predictions of future feature progress, but
we have our own stuff in the works and unlike the opensolaris.org
website (don't know about the mailing lists), we won't plan on winding
down by the end of next month. If the fine people at Oracle keep a good
pace, it's possible you'll see a steady stream of improvements from them
as well (though I personally suspect that they'll hand you the
improvements in one hand and a hefty invoice in the other).

Cheers,

[zfs-discuss] BP rewrite? (Was Re: spreading data after adding devices to pool)

2010-07-09 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
Anyone knows where in the pipeline BP rewrite is, or how long this pipeline is? 




You could move the data elsewhere using zfs send and recv, destroy the original 
datasets and then recreate them. This would stripe the data across the vdevs. 
Of course, when BP-rewrite becomes available it should be possible to simply 
redistribute blocks amongst the various vdevs without having to go through 
destroying/creating.

I use ZFS (on FreeBSD) for my home NAS. I started on 4 drives then added 4 and 
have now added another 4, bringing the total up to 12 drives on 3 raidzs in 1 
pool. 

I was just wondering if there was any advantage or disadvantage to spreading 
the data across the 3 raidz, as two are currently full and one is completely 
empty. 

If it would improve performance to spread the data, is there any easy way to do 
it?
