[zfs-discuss] What would happen with a zpool if you 'mirrored' a disk...

2010-02-04 Thread Karl Pielorz
Hi All, I've been using ZFS for a while now - and everything's been going well. I use it under FreeBSD - but this question almost certainly should be the same answer, whether it's FreeBSD or Solaris (I think/hope :)... Imagine if I have a zpool with 2 disks in it, that are mirrored: " NAME

[zfs-discuss] ZFS Failing Drive procedure (mirrored pairs) - did I mess this up?

2008-09-08 Thread Karl Pielorz
Hi All, I run ZFS (a version 6 pool) under FreeBSD. Whilst I realise this changes a *whole heap* of things - I'm more interested in if I did 'anything wrong' when I had a recent drive failure... On of a mirrored pair of drives on the system started failing, badly (confirmed by 'hard' read & w

[zfs-discuss] Changing all the underlying device names...

Hi All, I'm a new ZFS convert (so far, I've only been impressed by ZFS) - I'm running it under FreeBSD 7 atm. I've got to 'shuffle' all the underlying devices around on my raidz pool - so their device names will all either change (e.g. "da0" will become "ad4") - or the devices will get 'jumbl

[zfs-discuss] Expanding a RAIDZ based Pool...

2007-12-10 Thread Karl Pielorz
Hi, I've seen/read a number of articles on the net, about RAIDZ - and things like Dynamic Striping et'al. I know roughly how this works - but I can't seem to get to the bottom of expanding existing pool space, if this is even possible. e.g. If I build a RAIDZ pool with 5 * 400Gb drives, and l
