Hi all, i am playing a bit with ZFS on FreeBSD Current and i love it. But now i am at a point where is got some questions coming up. My FreeBSD is running in a VM under Vmware Fusion and i am using FreeBSD AMD64. I installed FreeBSD on da0. / with 334 MB swap 1GB usr rest After that, i created a pool and usr on it: #zpool create zusr raidz da0 da1 da2 #zfs create zusr/usr I copied /usr to zusr/usr #cp -Rp /usr/ /zusr/usr Edit the fstab entry, and comment out the old /dev/da0s1d (/usr). New mountpoint: #zfs set mountpoint=/usr zusr/usr Ok, everything works fine. Now the question and/or problem. Now i have on da0 a free da0s1d. Ok, i can use this with zfs: #zpool create oldusr /dev/da0s1d Works. Nice. But, is there a way to mirror my /dev/da0s1a? Can i use gmirror to mirror /dev/da0s1a with /dev/da0s4a? Also, mirroring swap /dev/da0s1b with /dev/da0s4b would be nice. Yes data is in a raidz mirror, but / is a single point of failure right now. And also, i could create a zfs mirror with da0s1d and da4s1d. Another question: If i got only 2 disks, how about using ZFS here? Using just /boot on UFS should work as i read, but can i mirror that one with gmirrror and use the rest of the the two disks with ZFS as an ZFS mirror? I stuck at that problem right now. Thanks in advance. AxelReceived on Mon Jun 25 2007 - 07:09:00 UTC
