These are the conditions: (1) The bug is specific to the root pool. Other pools are unaffected. (2) It is triggered by doing a 'zpool online' while I/O is in flight. (3) Item (2) can be triggered by syseventd. (4) The bug is new in build 102. Builds 101 and earlier are fine. I believe the follo

Can I do a zpool scrub on a running server without effecting webserving / email serving? I read it is a I/O-intensive operation. Does that mean the server has to be idle? Or better still: go into maintenance (init S)? I guess not, but still.. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D + http:/

Hello list, I have a system with 2x 1.8 GHz AMD CPUs, 4G of ECC RAM, 7T RAID-Z pool on Areca controller with about 400 file systems on OpenSolaris snv_101. The problem is that it takes VERY long to take or delete snapshot and sync incremental snapshots to backup system. System load is quite lo

Well yes, but he doesn't sound too worried about performance, and I'm not aware of any other issues with splitting drives? And if you did want performance later, it would probably be possible to add a flash drive for cache once the prices drop. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org __

I don't know much about working with slices in Solaris I'm afraid, but to me that sounds like a pretty good setup for a home server, and I can't see why the layout would cause you any problems. In theory you'll be able to swap controllers without any problems too. That's one of the real benefi
