Hi,
I know that is not recommended by Sun
to use ZFS on 32 bits machines but,
what are really the consequences of doing this ?
I have an old Bipro Xeon server (6 GB ram , 6 disks),
and I would like to do a raidz with 4 disks with Solaris 10 update 4.
Thanks,
Ben

If I do something like this:
zfs snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
zfs send [EMAIL PROTECTED] > tank.backup
sleep 86400
zfs rename [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
zfs snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
zfs send -I [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > tank.incr
Am I going to be able to restore the streams?
Chris,
You would need to replace all the disks to see the expanded space.
Otherwise, space on the 1-2 larger disks would be wasted. If
you replace all the disks with larger disks, then yes, the
disk space in the raidz config would be expanded.
A ZFS mirrored config would be more flexible but it

Famous last words but i thought i read everything in the FAQ but maybe i missed

I won't comment on the SVM bits because I haven't used it in many years.
For the ZFS bits you just need to "detach" it from the zpool, then "attach"
after you replace the drive.

Cindy, can we update the opensolaris.org FAQ to include some words
about these two questions?

Chris,
You can replace the disks one at a time with larger disks. No problem.
You can also add another raidz vdev, but you can't add disks to an
existing raidz vdev.
See the sample output below. This might not solve all your problems,
but should give you some ideas...

Hi. We have a hard drive failing in one of our production servers.
The server has two drives, mirrored. It is split between UFS with SVM, and ZFS.
Both drives are setup as follows. The drives are c0t0d0 and c0t1d0. c0t1d0 is
the failing drive.
slice 0 - 3.00GB UFS (root partition)
slice 1
ok maybe i should rewrite my question in a better way.
My data is mostly made up of things i can afford to lose but would very much
not like to lose if a disk dies if at all possible. Due to this i have used a
raid5 array in the past. The issue i have had with this is a need to replace
all 10

In general, they don't. Command-line utilities just use the sequence of
bytes entered by the user. GUI-based software does as well, but the

Disks don't have to be the same size, but only as much space will be
used
on the larger disks will be used as is available on the smallest disk.
In
other words, there's no benefit to be gained from this approach.

Related question:
Does a raidz have to be either only full disks or only slices, or can
it be mixed? E.g., can you do a 3-way raidz with 2 complete disks and
one slice (of equal size as the disks)
