[zfs-discuss] Available Space Discrepancy

2010-10-15 Thread David Stewart
Using snv_111b and yesterday both the Mac OS X Finder and Solaris File Browser started reporting that I had 0 space available on the SMB shares. Earlier in the day I had copied some files from the Mac to the SMB shares and no problems reported by the Mac (Automator will report errors if the des

[zfs-discuss] zpool is very slow

2009-10-02 Thread David Stewart
I created a raidz zpool and shares and now the OS is very slow. I timed it and I can get about eight seconds of use before I get ten seconds of a frozen screen. I can be doing anything or barely anything (moving the mouse an inch side to side repeatedly.) This makes the machine unusable. If

Cindy: I believe I may have been mistaken. When I recreated the zpools, you are correct you receive different numbers for "zpool list" and "zfs list" for the sizes. I must have typed one command and then the other when creating the different pools. Thanks for the assist. Sheepish grin. Dav

Cindy: I am not at the machine right now, but I installed from the OpenSolaris 2009.06 LiveCD and have all of the updates installed. I have solely been using "zfs list" to look at the size of the pools. from a saved file on my laptop: me...@opensolarisnas:~$ zfs list NAME

[zfs-discuss] RAIDZ v. RAIDZ1

2009-10-01 Thread David Stewart
So, I took four 1.5TB drives and made RAIDZ, RAIDZ1 and RAIDZ2 pools. The sizes for the pools were 5.3TB, 4.0TB, and 2.67TB respectively. The man page for RAIDZ states that "The raidz vdev type is an alias for raidz1." So why was there a difference between the sizes for RAIDZ and RAIDZ1? Sho

Before I try these options you outlined I do have a question. I went in to VMWare Fusion and removed one of the drives from the virtual machine that was used to create a RAIDZ pool (there were five drives, one for the OS, and four for the RAIDZ.) Instead of receiving the "removed" status that

How do I identify which drive it is? I hear each drive spinning (I listened to them individually) so I can't simply select the one that is not spinning. David -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@op

2009-09-29 Thread David Stewart
Having casually used IRIX in the past and used BeOS, Windows, and MacOS as primary OSes, last week I set up a RAIDZ NAS with four Western Digital 1.5TB drives and copied over data from my WinXP box. All of the hardware is fresh out of the box so I did not expect any hardware problems, but when
