Re: [zfs-discuss] Dedup relationship between pool and filesystem

2010-09-24 Thread Brad Stone
For de-duplication to perform well you need to be able to fit the de-dup table in memory. Is a good rule-of-thumb for needed RAM Size=(pool capacity/avg block size)*270 bytes? Or perhaps it's Size/expected_dedup_ratio? And if you limit de-dup to certain datasets in the pool, how would this calc

Hi Cindy, thanks for clarifying that. Basically, the problem seems to lie within the Netatalk afpd, which is what I use for our Mac clients. For some reason, putting a new file or folder on a Netatalk-ZFS share, don't pulls the ACEs that this new object should inherit from its parent. I have a

How do you know it is dedup causing the problem? You can check to see how much is by looking at the threads (look for ddt) mdb -k ::threadlist -v or dtrace it. fbt:zfs:ddt*:entry You can disable dedup. I believe current dedup data stays until it gets over written. I'm not sure what send w

"Can I disable dedup on the dataset while the transfer is going on?" Yes. Only the blocks copied after disabling dedupe will not be deduped. The stuff you have already copied will be deduped. "Can I simply Ctrl-C the procress to stop it?" Yes, you can do that to a mv process. Maybe stop the pr

Hi all I'm currently moving a fairly big dataset (~2TB) within the same zpool. Data is being moved from a dataset to another, which has dedup enabled. The transfer started at quite a slow transfer speed — maybe 12MB/s. But it is now crawling to a near halt. Only 800GB has been moved in 48 hours
