Folks, Why can I not remove the ZIL from my zones pool? Please tell me this is not a "feature"...
I'm trying to accomplish something that is ridiculously easy with ZFS on Linux, and ridiculously difficult in SmartOS: 1. Partition my two SSDs to have two partitions each: one 2GB partition for ZIL and one partition with all the remaining space for L2ARC 2. Set a mirror of the 2GB partitions on the two SSDs as the ZIL 3. Add the remaining space on the two drives as L2ARC space I could do this in about 90 seconds on a Linux box: parted for step 1, "zpool add zones log mirror ssd1p1 ssd2p1" for step 2, and "zpool add zones cache ssd1p2" + "zpool add zones cache ssd2p2" for step 3. I've spent the last three hours trying to do it on my SmartOS box, and now I'm stuck with a zones zpool that's using the full space on both drives for ZIL with nothing left over for cache. And what's worse, there's apparently no way to undo this without destroying the zpool and starting over, which I absolutely cannot afford to do at this point. Any suggestions that anyone can make would be *very* welcome! thanks, Jim ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
