[zfs-discuss] Peculiar disk loading on raidz2

2008-11-21 Thread Charles Menser
I have a 5 drive raidz2 pool which I have a iscsi share on. While backing up a MacOS drive to it I noticed some very strange access patterns, and wanted to know if what I am seeing is normal, or not. There are times when all five drives are accessed equally, and there are times when only three of

2008-10-28 Thread Charles Menser
My home server is giving me fits. I have seven disks, comprising three pools, on two multi-port SATA controllers (one onboard the Asus M2A-VM motherboard, and one Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8). The disks range from many months to many days old. Two pools are mirrors, one is a raidz. The machine is r

Re: [zfs-discuss] The best motherboard for a home ZFS fileserver

2008-07-23 Thread Charles Menser
I am wondering how many SATA controllers most motherboards have for their built-in SATA ports. Mine, an ASUS M2A-VM, has four ports, but OpenSolaris reports them as belonging to two controllers. I have seen motherboards with 6+ SATA ports, and would love to know if any of them have more controlle

[zfs-discuss] How do you grow a ZVOL?

2008-07-17 Thread Charles Menser
I've looked for anything I can find on the topic, but there does not appear to be anything documented. Can a ZVOL be expanded? In particular, can a ZVOL sharded via iscsi be expanded? Thanks, Charles ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris
