2010-08-07 Thread Terry Hull
so, ZFS loves to see lots of spindles, and Dell boxes tend not to have lots of drive bays in comparison to what you can build at a given price point. Of course then you have warranty / service issues to consider. -- Terry Hull Network Resource Group, Inc. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Re: [zfs-discuss] Disk space on Raidz1 configuration

*1024 as a MB. Zpool list shows raw pool space, not usable space. RAIDZ1 takes the space for one disk out to store error checking data so that is not "usable" space. -- Terry Hull Network Resource Group, Inc. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

[zfs-discuss] Disk controllers changing the names of disks

2010-02-19 Thread Terry Hull
I am curious how admins are dealing with controllers like the Dell Perc 5 and 6 that can change the device name on a disk if a disk fails and the machine reboots. These controllers are not nicely behaved in that they happily fill in the device numbers for the physical drive that is missing. I

Thanks for the info. If that last common snapshot gets destroyed on the primary server, it is then a full replication back to the primary server. Is that correct? -- Terry -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zf
