Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS performance with Oracle

Jeff, This is great information. Thanks for sharing. Quickio is almost required if you want vxfs with Oracle. We ran a benchmark a few years back and found that vxfs is fairly cache hungry and ufs with directio beats vxfs without quickio hands down. Take a look at what mpstat says on xcalls.

That's really an NFS question, not a ZFS one — ZFS simply uses whatever UID the NFS server passes through to it. That said, Solaris doesn’t offer this functionality, as far as I know. Perhaps NFSv4 domains could be used to achieve something similar This message posted from opensolaris.

My biggest concern has been more making sure that Oracle doesn't have to fight to get memory, which it does now. There's definite performance uptick during the process of releasing ARC cache memory to allow Oracle to get what it's asking for and this is passed on to the application. The problem

General Oracle zpool/zfs tuning, from my tests with Oracle 9i and the APS Memory Based Planner and filebench. All tests completed using Solaris 10 update 2 and update 3.: -use zpools with 8k blocksize for data -don't use zfs for redo logs - use ufs with directio and noatime. Building redo log

[zfs-discuss] user id mapping of exported fs

2007-03-18 Thread Chris Boone
I'm sharing a zfs filesystem with sharenfs=on and I'm facing the problem that user ids of the clients do not exist on the zfs file server and also different clients can connect using the same uid. What I would like to do is map client IP + uid to a local uid on the zfs server. e.g. 192.168.1.2,
