Final rant on this.
Managed to get the box re-installed and the performance issue has vanished.
So there is a performance bug in zfs some where.
Not sure to put in a bug log as I can't now provide any more information.

i did not migrate my disks.
I now have 2 pools - rpool is at 60% as is still dog slow.
Also scrubbing the rpool causes the box to lock up.

Ok had a pool which got full - so performance tanked.
Ran off and got some more disks to create a new pool to put all the extra data.
Got the original pool down to 60% util, but the performance is still bad.
Any ideas on how to get the performance back?
Bad news is that the pool in question is
the J series is far to new to be hitting ebay yet.
Any alot of people will not be buying the J series for obvious reasons

It depends on what your doing.
I got a AMD Sempron Processor LE-1100 (1.9Ghz) doing NAS for mythtv and seems
to do ok.
If the board you quote is what your getting I think it is 64bit chip - intel
site says its a Atom 330.
Solaris will should use all its cores/threads - intel have added a load
Config 1: as its got 4 vdev so it will stripe it across them vs the 1 vdev for
Config 2 - for speed
reliability - Both Config probably the same, sods law states second disk to
fail will be in the same vdev.
If you want the space Config 2 but with raidz2
If you want speed - 24 mirrors
See oth
Yep - each zfs file system has its own nfs mount point.
Will mirror mount it all works like magic and is pretty nice.
Can see it being a git for linux, I wonder when it will mirror mount will get
implemented in linux.

Yep its possible
But you will only have a mirror of the lowest disk.
3way mirror is just copying the data onto an extra disk

You do not waste the new space
zfs seems to always work of the lowest device - so when you replace the disks
with larger ones it increases the mirror size to these new drives as thats the
new smallest drive.

Ok I am not an expert - just done some playing about.
Option 1) I have done this - i had 4x300gb disks and one more in the post, i
could not wait to build my raidz2 so i used a 73gb which was spare - what it
gave me was a raidz2 pool of 5x73gb.
The warning is there to ask you if you really want
yep.
but it said that the pools were upto date with the system on 3.
zpool upgrade says the system just has version 3
also patch 120272-12 has been pulled which 120011-14 depends on yay

Your data gets striped across the two sets so what you get is a raidz stripe
giving you the 2x faster.
tank
---raidz
--devices
---raidz
--devices
sorry for the diagram.
So you got your zpool tank with raidz stripe.

The Pentium 4 D have 64bit in them (ok not the bottom one)
So you can have your Pentium 4D running in 64bit mode.
Are you buying both kit or do you already have one of these boxes?
Also how many users are going to be using this file server?

ok if its just storing stuff raidz2 is probably the best use of space.
raidz2 on 5 disk and one spare - this can take 3 disk failing before you lose
your data.
The three strip mirror will give you nice performance but from the sounds of it
you don't need it.

Yes, i am also interested in this.
We can't afford two super fast setup so we are looking at having a huge pile
sata to act as a real time backup for all our streams.
So what can AVS do and its limitations are?
Would a just using zfs send and receive do or does AVS make it all seamless?
Th
Just to clarify
pool1 -> 5 disk raidz2
pool2 -> 4 disk raid 10
spare for both pools
Is that correct?

I guess thats why i am asking about raidz and mirrors, not just creating a huge
stripe them

I have read the links - good read
So would i have two pools?
Can i do to Raidz2 over 5 and a Raidz2 over 4 with a spare for them all?
or two Raidz2 over 4 with 2 spare?
Just trying to get the most storage out of it.
But the setup you suggested sounds good
This message posted from opensolari
got a 12 disk system - all 18gb
2 mirror for boot, now what to do with the rest?
The storage is to be used for user space, web stuff and to store anything else
(dump for data).
I could do 5 mirrors, but thats a wasting quite a bit of space.
Was thinking about raidz2, as its almost as reliable a
31 matches
