It wasn't a completely full volume so I wasn't getting the classic 'no space' issue.
What I did end up doing was booting OpenIndiana (build 147) which seemed tohave more succes clearing up the space. I also set up some scripts to clear out space slower. Deleting a 4GB file would take 1-2 minutes and then add a pause afterwards to allow the system to quiesce then continue. Once I got the pool down to ~90% I blew away the OpenSolaris installed (build 130), installed, OI and then upgraded the pools from version 22 to version 28. Things seem to be smoother now but it likely had to do with the space being cleared up. It would have been nice if performance didn't take a nose dive when nearing (and not even at) capacity. In my case I would have preferred if the necessary space was reserved and I got a space issue before degrading to the point of uselessness. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
