Re: [zfs-discuss] Mysterious corruption with raidz2 vdev

2007-07-30 Thread Jeff Bonwick
I suspect this is a bug in raidz error reporting. With a mirror, each copy either checksums correctly or it doesn't, so we know which drives gave us bad data. With RAID-Z, we have to infer which drives have damage. If the number of drives returning bad data is less than or equal to the number of

Thank you for the reference to the ZFS overview document. > http://partneradvantage.sun.com/protected/solaris10/adoptionkit/tech/ > zfs/zfs_overview.pdf It's very useful and takes a different tack than the source tour, etc. There's a place for all of them. Could someone please place a link to

I've been working with zfs since the beginning but have pretty much ignored ACL Inherit and ACL Mode. Now one of my DBs is having permission problems in a directory and has suggested changing the defaults Secure and Groupmask to passthrough. This would affect the whole filesystem. What would be

[zfs-discuss] Trying to understand which kernel subsystem ZFS falls under.

2007-07-30 Thread Brian Gupta
In "Solaris Internals", ZFS is not covered. I would think that ZFS would lie in the VFS subsystem, but I seem to recall reading that this is not the case. Could someone point me to a doc/diagram that would help clarify this for me? Thanks, Brian ___ zf

We'll try running all of the diagnostic tests to rule out any other issues. But my question is, wouldn't I need to see at least 3 checksum errors on the individual devices in order for there to be a visible error in the top level vdev? There doesn't appear to be enough raw checksum errors on the
