2) Following Chris's advice to do more with snapshots, I
played with his cron-triggered snapshot routine:
http://blogs.sun.com/chrisg/entry/snapping_every_minute
Now, after a couple of days, zpool history shows almost
100,000 lines of output (from all the snapshots and
deletions...)
How can I purge or truncate this log (which has got to be
taking up several Mb of space, not to mention the ever
increasing sluggishness of the command...)
You can check out the comment at the head of spa_history.c:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/
common/fs/zfs/spa_history.c
The history is implemented as a ring buffer (where the size is MIN
(32MB, 1 %of your capacity)):
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/
common/fs/zfs/spa_history.c#105
We specifically didn't allow the admin the ability to truncate/prune
the log as then it becomes unreliable - ooops i made a mistake, i
better clear the log and file the bug against zfs ....
