Well things didn't quite turn out as expected.
I decided to follow the path right to the disks for clues.
Digging into the adapter diags with LSIUTIL, revealed an Adapter Link issue.

Yes, or SAS disks.

Amazon seems to be the only obvious place to buy it (Newegg and Tiger Direct
have nothing).
And do I understand that

There's also vibration caused by head actuator movements. This is unlikely
to suffer from resonance amplification but may be higher a
On the subject of vibrations when using multiple drives in a case (tower), I'm
using silicone grommets on all the drive screws to isolate vibrations. This
does seem to greatly reduce the vibrations reaching the chassis, and makes the
machine a lot quieter, and so I would expect that this minimis

Brad,
If you are referring to this thread that starting in 2006, then I would
review this updated section:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#Cache_Flushes
Check to see if your array is described or let us know which array you
are referring to...
Thanks,

With the default compression scheme (LZJB ), how does one calculate the ratio
or amount compressed ahead of time when allocating storage?

Thomas,
I think I've got sharemgr shares working in build 131 after all.
See the steps below.
Thanks,
Cindy
1. Create a share group, like this:
# sharemgr create -P smb myshare
2. Add the share and specify a resource name:
sharemgr add-share -r mystuff -s /tank/cindys myshare
3. Confirm
Good observation. It seems that I'm only keeping ahead of the folks in this
forum by running as hard as I can.
I just bought the sheet aluminum for making my drive cages. I'm going for the
drives-in-a-cage setup, but I'm also floating each drive on vinyl (and hence
dissipative, not resonant) v
@Bob, yes you're completely right. This kind of engineering is what you get
when buying a 2540 for example. All parts are nicely matched. When you build
your own whitebox the parts might not match.
But that wasn't my point. Vibration, in the drive and excited by the drive,
increases with the s

yeah, happy australiaday. :)
What I didn't understand in school is that egg layers like echidnas
are not exotic but are pettingzoo/farm/roadkill type animals.
D'oh. I didn't test the workaround because I was running off to a prezo.
A quick test looks like you are correct. I apologize.
Let me see if I can do some testing or get some more info.

Do you mean a ZVOL ?

this will appear as a block and char device in:

I would definitely be interested to see if the newer firmware fixes the problem
for you. I have a very similar setup to yours, and finally forcing the
firmware flash to 1.26.00 of my on-board LSI 1068E on a SuperMicro H8DI3+
running snv_131 seemed to address the issue. I'm still waiting to see

i tried using sharemgr.it didnt' work either.
or maybe i just did it wrong, could you explain what i need to do?
let's say i was trying to do this command:
zfs set sharesmb=name=wonslung tank/nas/Wonslung
how do i do that in sharemgr?
when i tried i either got an error or it didn't change.
