2009-02-20 Thread Harry Putnam
Looking thru the cmds in man zfs and man zpool, and having watched 2 of the basic demos, I wasn't left with confidence about how to carry out common file system tasks. I'm sorry if this seems horribly obvious but I often a hard time getting simple stuff through my extra thick skull. zfs uses `c

Hello All, I'm in the process of migrating a file server from Solaris 9, where we're making extensive use of POSIX-ACLs, to ZFS and I have a question that I'm hoping someone can clear up for me. I'm using ufsrestore to restore the data to the ZFS file system so the ACLs are converted to NFSv4 styl

If this happens if ZFS is in use anywhere in the system, I'm not sure of a solution. If you just need Oracle files and activity to be on something other than ZFS, could you try creating a ZFS block device and formatting it UFS? (disclaimer: I'm not an Oracle user) On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 12:12 P
