Hi,
I'm trying to send a zfs pool from an old freebsd 9.0 installation to a
new machine with freebsd 9.1. The pool is quite heavy (about 16TB, lots
of snapshots) and the receiving side keeps crashing on me. The command
used to transfer (run on the old 9.0 installation):
zfs send -R tank@snapshot | ssh 10.10.xx.xx zfs recv -F -d -v tank
After a few hours the system stops all writing and I can't start any new
processes. Processes still running like 'zpool iostat' are still
working, or at least it is still reporting something. To me it looks
like the filesystem just disappeared. Unfortunately I'm running root on
zfs so I don't have any logs about this.
The only message I sometimes find on the console are about not being
able to write to swap, which is also on zfs.
Do you have any ideas? I don't even know where to start.
Please send more information about the new server. Sometimes there are
bugs found in drivers with large disks, etc. Or firmware of hardware.
The contents of /var/run/dmesg.boot is interesting to a lot of people.
As is the output of zpool status.
As you are having trouble with swap on zfs. Is it possible to put that on
a separate disk for the test?
Ronald.
