Ok... So I was wrong. I was informed I had this backwards. It seems that this NFS4.1 mirror mounts thing is really only nice for getting rid of a lot of automount maps. You still have to share each filesystem :-( I hate it when I think there is hope just to have it taken away. Sigh... T

I did a little bit more digging and found some interesting things. NFS4 Mirror mounts. This would seem to be the most logical option. In this scenario the client would connect to a single mount /tank/users but would be able to move through the individual user file systems underneath that moun

I too am having the same issues. I started out using Solaris 10 8/07 release. I could create all the filesystems, 47,000 filesystems, but if you needed to reboot, patch, shutdown Very bad. So then I read about sharemgr and how it was supposed to mitigate these issues. Well, after runnin

New, yes. Aware - probably not. Given cheap filesystems, users would create "many" filesystems was an easy guess, but I somehow don't think anybody envisioned that users would be creating tens of thousands of filesystems. ZFS - too good for it's own good :-p This message posted from opensol

I believe this is because sharemgr does an O(number of shares) operation whenever you try to share/unshare anything (retrieving the list of shares from the kernel to make sure that it isn't/is already shared). I couldn't find a bug on this (though it's been known for some time), so feel free to

I remember reading a discussion where these kind of problems were discussed. Basically it boils down to "everything" not being aware of the radical changes in "filesystems" concept. All these things are being worked on, but it might take sometime before everything is made aware that yes it's no

2008-01-18 Thread zfsmonk
Anyone out there using sharenfs=on with a large amount of filesystems? We have over 1 filesystems all in one pool. Everything is great until we turn on sharenfs (zfs set sharenfs=on poolName). Once that is enabled, zfs create poolName/filesystem takes about 5 minutes to complete. If nfs shari
