Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Code Bounty (Active Directory Integration)
Hi Gordon, Apologies, missed this the other day. My advice would be to make it easier to use IDMU. The modifications to AD to support IDMU are quite widely accepted these days, at least in organizations that have both Windows and *nix. The problem is that some of the organisations we're used to integrating Mac clients with (tend to be FTSE companies) often are pretty much straight Windows shops, so anything that deviates from their standard is *really* hard to get through change control (especially now where we've been deploying Macs for years that "just work" with AD (to a fairly decent extent)). It sounds like Sun were actually looking at something like Mac OS X's handling of external directories at some point (from here: https://blogs.oracle.com/nico/entry/dealing_with_windows_sids_in ), but they obviously went the other way. I think now I've got a better understanding of ephemeral IDs (thanks for the confirmation by the way) then they make more sense, yet it still feels a little like the easier route was taken on the development side, leaving a slightly more complicated situation on the administrator side. Thanks, James. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Solaris privileges and seteuid()
Yes, ephemeral IDs are temporary representations of Security Identifiers (SIDs). The idmapd(1m) daemon maintains these in a cache, with time-to-live (TTL) based expiration. There's a library API for turning an ephemeral ID back into a SID - see: idmap_get_sidbyuid http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/lib/libidmap/common/idmap_api.c Thanks very much for that confirmation, really doesn't seem obvious in a lot of the documentation! I don't have a system handy to test today (will do over the weekend) but I'll try and get a better idea of how that works over the weekend (in particular after a reboot, what UID/GID will a file/folder show (ie. with ls) until the same user logs in again and the new ephemeral mapping is created?).

Well, the "next best thing" to virtio, if for some reason that doesn't pan out soon (easily), might be to use nfs/cifs shares or iscsi block resources shared from physical host to its VM. However, for things heavy on sync IO (like compilation of many small source->object files), an SSD ZIL device might be in order. Anyhow, it might boost things on a VM storage host anyhow. For completeness, since some list members would note anyway, you can also disable ZIL for particular datasets, at expense of reduced resilience to certain failure modes. Still, you can use this technique to estimate whether an investment into a hardware SSD ZIL offload would help your workload patterns. If you use the file or block shares, take a look at VB's own integration with such resources (the VB software would import an iSCSI volume and provide it to the VM), to save some math resources for running the iSCSI stack inside the VM OS, and to free up bandwidth on its virtual NIC. For files, I think, VB (3.x) only provided a CIFS service of some sort.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Correct syntax for ZFS sharenfs 'no root squash' on OI 148
I've been trying to export a ZFS share on a OI 148 system to a Linux NFS client system whose root needs read access to all files on the OI box. I've tried variations of the zfs sharenfs command such as: zfs set sharenfs='root=185.198.192.20' data/data zfs set sharenfs='ro=root=185.198.192.20' data/data zfs set sharenfs='root=backup.my-domain.com' data/data etc, but root on the Linux box still cannot read files set by users on the OI server with permissions like 600 (that is, -rw---). I've also tried using the mountvers=3 and vers=3 mount options on the Linux box but these don't fix the problem. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Correct syntax for ZFS sharenfs 'no root squash' on OI 148
The manpages have an answer, though it takes a bit to get there. The zfs man page, under sharenfs, redirects to the share manpage, which redirects to the share_nfs manpage, which after a bit of looking, has this gem: When specifying individual IP addresses, use the same @ notation described above, without a netmask specifica- tion. For example: =@172.16.132.14 So, I think what you want is "zfs set sharenfs='ro=@185.198.192.20,root=@185.198.192.20' data/data" for read-only root access. Hostnames should work without "@", but "ro=root=" doesn't work.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Time Machine and quota limiting
Sorry, I wanted to clarify regarding dedup. It's not just time machine that will suffer. It's everything, regardless of if the FS the relevant data is on is being deduped or not. When your dedup tables outgrow the amount of RAM allocated to them (25% of ARC IIRC), they start swapping. I had ~400GB of deduped data on a 10TB pool that was about 60% full, dedup tables were about 24GB. I have 32GB of RAM, but only 25% of that was for the dedup tables. That meant that I was constantly swapping about 16GB, and by constantly, I mean actually constantly, as in, any activity on the server would cause IO Wait on the disks. Before I nuked the whole thing and started from scratch, I was getting about 5MB/sec writes and 7-10MB/sec reads. It became impossible for me to do anything that it should've been able to do, like streaming video, with ease. >From what I remember when calculating things and testing them against my server, You need about 4GB of RAM for every TB of data in order to use dedup. Otherwise, everything falls apart. And that was for my file server, which is predominantly video, so large files, and a smaller dedup table. If you're talking strictly about TM backups, you're going to have an even bigger table because after the initial backup, all TM backups are smaller files, less than 10 MB usually. Smaller files means more files, means more info needs to be stored in your dedup table. When I was figuring out what was killing my system I spent a bunch of time in #ZFS on freenet, we came to the conclusion that for my usage patterns, I'd need to have at least 96GB of RAM in order to keep things deduped as they were, and not want to kill myself every time I wanted to watch a video. Dedup is VERY hungry, and gets VERY cranky when it can't eat. There's a good article that breaks down things a bit better than I have if you want to look into it further: http://constantin.glez.de/blog/2011/07/zfs-dedupe-or-not-dedupe On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 9:11 AM, Jaco Schoonen wrote: > > > I have both the sparsebundle size and the ZFS FS set.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Should I upgrade the pool?
Bonjour, I just rebuilt my home ZFS server using openindiana (formerly Solaris Xpress 11) and napp-it, an configured it for Windows or Android clients. The boot pool (rpool) was built by OI's installer; the storage pool (tank, 9GB) was created by napp-it's "create pool" function, using the ashift=12 parameter (6 x WDEARS 1.5Tb disks in RAIDZ2 configuration). So far, everything works, as a couple of thorough tests have shown, and I have restored the whole server from a backup machine I built. Napp-it "dd" benchmarks reports nice figures, 125.02 MB/s Write and 323.88 MB/s Read. However, I have noticed that the pool status report (below) contains a suggestion to upgrade the pool, which is currently v28, which surprises me. Before proceeding, I would like to obtain informed opinions on the matter, including risks on the whole setup, if any. Many thanks for any help, Robert.

There is no reason to upgrade the pool unless you want to use a new feature offered by it. It is a one-way trip. Upgrading to pool version 5000 is risky at the moment since it only works for Illumos/OpenIndiana development releases and not other Solaris stable releases.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Should I upgrade the pool?
OpenIndiana 151.a5 supports feature flags. You can use them after upgrading the pool to ZFS v5000 (you cannot downgrade from 5000 to lower numbers so this is currently OI 151a5 only (You can expect these features in all systems derived from Illumos like Linux, Nexenta or FreeBSD etc) more blog.delphix.com/csiden/files/2012/01/ZFS_Feature_Flags.pdf Am 17.08.2012 um 20:53 schrieb Robert Soubie: > Bonjour, > > I just rebuilt my home ZFS server using openindiana (formerly Solaris Xpress > 11) and napp-it, an configured it for Windows or Android clients.
