If I launch opensolaris with -kd I'm able to do this: aok/W 1 but if I type: zfs_recover/W 1 then I get an unkown symbol name error. Any idea how I could force this variables? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

2010-09-14 Thread Edward Ned Harvey
From: Haudy Kazemi [mailto:kaze0...@umn.edu] With regard to multiuser systems and how that negates the need to defragment, I think that is only partially true.  As long as the files are defragmented enough so that each particular read request only requires one seek before it is time to

From: Richard Elling [mailto:rich...@nexenta.com] With appropriate write caching and grouping or re-ordering of writes algorithms, it should be possible to minimize the amount of file interleaving and fragmentation on write that takes place. To some degree, ZFS already does this. The

Richard Elling wote: Define fragmentation? Maybe this is the wrong thread. I have noticed that an old pool can take 4 hours to scrub, with a large portion of the time reading from the pool disks at the rate of 150+ MB/s but zpool iostat reports 2 MB/s read speed. My naive interpretation is

We are looking into the possibility of adding a dedicated ZIL and/or L2ARC devices to our pool. We are looking into getting 4 – 32GB Intel X25-E SSD drives. Would this be a good solution to slow write speeds? We are currently sharing out different slices of the pool to windows servers using

Here is the solution (thanks to Gavin Maltby from mdb forum): Boot with -kd option to enter in kmdb and type the following commands: aok/W 1 ::bp zfs`zfs_panic_recover :c wait that it stops at breakpoint then type this: zfs_recover/W1 :z :c -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Cool, we can get the Intel X25-E's for around $300 a piece from HP with the sled. I don't see the X25-M available so we will look at 4 of the X25-E's. Thanks :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

The difference between multi-user thinking and single-user thinking is really quite dramatic in this area. I came up the time-sharing side (PDP-8, PDP-11, DECSYSTEM-20); TOPS-20 didn't have any sort of disk defragmenter, and nobody thought one was particularly desirable, because the normal access
