Re: [zfs-discuss] corrupt metadata on upgrade from 2008.11 to 2009.06

2009-10-14 Thread oliver soell
Okay I fixed it - did an export/import under 111b and that seemed to work. I'm not sure why I didn't try that before! On further examination, it seems that my /etc/zfs/zpool.cache didn't survive the pkg image-update properly - those files were different in my two rpools whereas I'd have expecte

More info - my device ids changed recently when I changed sata controllers (and motherboards). My root pool is fine on a different disk. The mystifying thing to me is that my raidz pool works great under 2008.11 and not 2009.06. Was there a known change in functionality which could lead to the

[zfs-discuss] corrupt metadata on upgrade from 2008.11 to 2009.06

2009-10-13 Thread oliver soell
I just upgraded my machine from 2008.11 to 2009.06 with pkg install image-update, and that all seemed to go fine. Now, however, my 5 disk raidz is complaining about corrupted metadata. However, if I reboot back into 2008.11, it still works fine. I even can do things which I think might check co

2007-06-19 Thread oliver soell
I have a very similar setup on opensolaris b62 - 5 disks on raidz on one onboard sata port and four 3112-based ports. I have noticed that although this card seems like a nice cheap one, it is only two channels, so therein lies a huge performance decrease. I have thought about getting another car

2007-04-27 Thread oliver soell
I seem to be having nfs server issues myself, on a fresh install of b62 with a mirrored root pool. I try and I try but my nfs/server process always reverts to disabled. I unfortunately have no ufs slices to try out a basic nfs configuration. No matter how I try and share out a directory or file

I just installed a mirrored root system last night, but using Tim Foster's zfs-actual-root-install.sh script on a clean install of b62 (http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_bootable_datasets_happily_rumbling). You mention that no UFS slices are necessary using the patched DVD netinstall - is a d

[zfs-discuss] zfs boot/root bits in bfu?

2007-04-02 Thread oliver soell
So I can expect that the zfs root bits will be in the weekly ON Consolidation bfu archives (http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/) tomorrow or so? I've been a solaris admin for years but only just started following opensolaris and don't know where everything pops up :) cheers, -o Th
