content does get stored in main memory only. So it can happen that content gets stored in the swap partition or in a local swap file in the main file system (as a file or part of a file). Temporarily, of course, and splitted. You know what I mean. :-) of course, i meant virtual memory saying mem

- Filesystem sizes are dynamic. They all grow and shrink inside the same pool, so you don't have to worry about making one too large or too small. there are actually almost no filesystems, just one filesystem with many "upper descriptors" and separate per filesystem quota. just to make happ

You can make ZFS work on i386, but it requires very careful tuning and is not going to work brilliantly well for particularly large or high-throughput filesystems. you mean "high transfer" like reading/writing huge files. anyway not faster than properly configured UFS+maybe gstripe/gmirror. f

ZFS is thoroughly 64-bit and uses 64-bit math pervasively. That means you have to emulate all those operations with 2 32-bit values, and on the register-starved x86 platform you end up with absolutely horrible performance. no this difference isn't that great. it doesn't use much less CPU on the

How to detect when gmirror sync is complete?

2009-05-26 Thread Peter Steele
I know I could have a script that continually checks "gmirror status" to detect when a gmirror synchronization has completed, but is there a more event-driven approach? Something that could be used to trigger and event like devd does for drive pulls/inserts would be nice. Is this possible?
