Re: [zfs-discuss] Deleting large amounts of files

2010-07-29 Thread Constantin Gonzalez
Hi, Is there a way to see which files have been deduped, so I can copy them again an un-dedupe them? unfortunately, that's not easy (I've tried it :) ). The issue is that the dedup table (which knows which blocks have been deduped) doesn't know about files. And if you pull block pointers

2010-07-29 Thread erik.ableson
Hmmm, that's odd. I have a number of VMs running on NFS (hosted on ESX, rather than Xen) with no problems at all. I did add a SLOG device to get performance up to a reasonable level, but it's been running flawlessly for a few months now. Previously I was using iSCSI for most of the connections,

Update to my own post. Further tests more consistently resulted in closer to 150MB/s. When I took one disk offline, it was just shy of 100MB/s on the single disk. There is both an obvious improvement with the mirror, and a trade-off (perhaps the latter is controller related?). I did

Hi r2ch The operations column shows about 370 operations for read - per spindle (Between 400-900 for writes) How should I be measuring iops? It seems to me then that your spindles are going about as fast as they can and your just moving small block sizes. There are lots of ways to test for

I'm trying to understand how snapshots work in terms of how I can use them for recovering and/or duplicating virtual machines, and how I should set up my file system. I want to use OpenSolaris as a storage platform with NFS/ZFS for some development VMs; that is, the VMs use the OpenSolaris box

Hey Nix, I think I see the problem now. If you want to review the interaction of setting an explicit ACL and using the chmod 755 command on 2, you need this command: # ls -dv 2 What you have is this command: # ls -dv (I have no idea what's going on with the parent dir ACL.) I tested your
