Good news, great to hear you got your data back. Victor is a legend, I for one am very glad he's been around to fix these kind of problems. I imagine he's looking forward to a well earned rest once the automatic recovery tools become available :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

[zfs-discuss] Terrible ZFS performance on a Dell 1850 w/ PERC 4e/Si (Sol10U6)

I've got a mail machine here that I built using ZFS boot/root. It's been having some major I/O performance problems, which I posted once before... but that post seems to have disappeared. Now I've managed to obtain another identical machine, and I've built it in the same way as the original.

I think the raid card is a re-branded LSI SCSI raid. I have LSI 21320-4x and having same problem with ZFS. Do you have BBU on the card? You may want to disable cache flush and zil and see how it works. I tried passthrough and basically the result is same. I gave up on tuning this card with ZFS

Before you do a dd test try first to do: echo zfs_vdev_max_pending/W0t1 | mdb -kw and let us know if it helped or not. iostat -xnz 1 output while you are doing dd would also help. -- Robert Milkowski http://milek.blogspot.com ___ zfs-discuss mail

[zfs-discuss] Does ZFS work with SAN-attached devices?

2009-10-09 Thread Shawn Joy
Hi All, Its been a while since I touched zfs. Is the below still the case with zfs and hardware raid array? Do we still need to provide two luns from the hardware raid then zfs mirror those two luns? http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/faq/#hardwareraid Thanks, Shawn -- This message

GigE wasn't giving me the performance I had hoped for so I spring for some 10Gbe cards.So what am I doing wrong. My setup is a Dell 2950 without a raid controller, just a SAS6 card. The setup is as such : mirror rpool (boot) SAS 10K raidz SSD 467 GB on 3 Samsung 256 MLC SSD (220MB/s each

ZFS no longer has the issue where loss of a single device (even intermittently) causes pool corruption. That's been fixed. That is, there used to be an issue in this scenario: (1) zpool constructed from a single LUN on a SAN device (2) SAN experiences temporary outage, while ZFS host remains ru
