Re: [zfs-discuss] Cannot delete errored file

Hi Marc, Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'll restart memtest when I'm next in the office and leave it running overnight. I can recreate the pool - but I guess the question is am I safe to do this on the existing setup, or am I going to hit the same issue again sometime? Assuming I don't f

Re: [zfs-discuss] Cannot delete errored file

That's odd -- the only way the 'rm' should fail is if it can't read the znode for that file. The znode is metadata, and is therefore stored in two distinct places using ditto blocks. So even if you had one unlucky copy that was damaged on two of your disks, you should still have another copy elsew

Hi Tomas, I will try it my self, but it's just that if i google the subject i only find old entries describing things as kernel panics and system freeze. I'm just wondering if this problem is fixed in the newer releases, or if there is another recommended way to keep data stored on different si

Sent response by private message. Today's findings are that the cksum errors appear on the new disk on the other controller too - so I've ruled out controllers & cables. It's probably as Jeff says - just got to figure out now how to prove the memory is duff. Ben This message posted from ope

Hi, It's an ASUS P5K-WS board with 2Gb of Corsair TwinX DDR2 8500 1066MHz Non-ECC memory. The board uses the Intel P35 chipset - it also will not support ECC RAM. TBH, this is probably the last time I'll get an ASUS, as this is the second board I've got through - the first one died for no parti

Hi John, I've done some tests with a SUN X4500 with zfs and "MAID" using the powerd of Solaris 10 to power down the disks which weren't access for a configured time. It's working fine... The only thing I run into was the problem that it took roundabout a minute to power on 4 disks in a zfs-po

[zfs-discuss] Growing root pool ?

Im running build 91 with ZFS boot. It seems that ZFS will not allow me to add an additional partition to the current root/boot pool because it is a bootable dataset. Is this a known issue that will be fixed or a permanent limitation? -Wyllys This message posted from opensolaris.org

Re: [zfs-discuss] Can't rm file when "No space left on device"...

Great point. Hadn't thought of it in that way. I haven't tried truncating a file prior to trying to remove it. Either way though, I think it is a bug if once the filesystem fills up, you can't remove a file. Brad On Thu, 2008-06-05 at 21:13 -0600, Keith Bierman wrote: > On Jun 5, 2008, at 8:58

snv_89 is the same. The ZFS Administration console worked fine to create my first 2 pools. I've been unable to use it since then. I have the same stack trace errors. Did you find a workaround for this issue? -Rick This message posted from opensolaris.org

Re: [zfs-discuss] SMC Webconsole 3.1 and ZFS Administration 1.0 - stacktraces in snv_b89

Likewise. Just plain doesn't work. Not required though, since the command-line is okay and way powerful ;) And there are some more interesting challenges to work on, so I didn't push this problem any more yet. This message posted from opensolaris.org _
