Re: [zfs-discuss] Running on Dell hardware?

That's precisely what I'm experiencing. System still responds to ping. Anything that was already running in memory via network stays alive (cron jobs continue to run) but remote access is impossible (ssh, vnc, even local physical console...) And eventually the system will stop completely.

I have a zpool that once it hit 96% full the performance degraded horribly. So, in order to get things better I'm trying to clear out some space. The problem I have is after I've deleted a directory it no longer shows on the filesystem level (ls) but the free space isn't cleared up. After a

[zfs-discuss] How do you use 1 partition on x86?

2010-10-25 Thread Bill Werner
So when I built my new workstation last year, I partitioned the one and only disk in half, 50% for Windows, 50% for 2009.06. Now, I'm not using Windows, so I'd like to use the other half for another ZFS pool, but I can't figure out how to access it. I have used fdisk to create a second

Oh, a few items to highlight. There are no snapshots - never have been on this volume. It's not just this directory in the example - it's any directory or file. The system was running fine up until it hit 96%. Also, a full scrub of the file system was done (took nearly two days). -- This

2010-10-25 Thread Andrew Gabriel
Change the new partition type to something than none of the OS's on the system will know anything about, so they don't make any invalid assumptions about what might be in it. Then use the appropriate partition device node, /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p4 (assuming it's the 4th primary FDISK partition).

It looks like permissions don't descend properly from the top-level share in CIFS; I had to set them on the next level down to get the intended results (including on lower levels; they seem to inherit properly from the second level, just not from the top). Is this a known behavior, or am I
