I have a strange situation here, in which I am unable to import an ZFS pool that I brought from another OS UNLESS I fdisk the disk of the pool. I am puzzled as to why this is happening and hoping to get an answer or an advice. The flow: An ZFS pool containing a single 3TB disk is created on a "NAS4Free 9.3.0.2" system (FreeBSD). I export the pool and attach it to a "NexentaStor 4.0.4" system (OpenSolaris). zpool import then shows root@nexenta:/volumes# zpool import pool: tank1 id: 17717822833491017053 state: UNAVAIL status: One or more devices are missing from the system. action: The pool cannot be imported. Attach the missing devices and try again. see: http://illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-3C config: tank1 UNAVAIL insufficient replicas c2t50014EE2B5B23B15d0p0 UNAVAIL cannot open zdb -l on the disk shows label0 and label1 as expected but -------------------------------------------- LABEL 2 -------------------------------------------- failed to read label 2 -------------------------------------------- LABEL 3 -------------------------------------------- failed to read label 3 I then run fdisk c2t50014EE2B5B23B15d0p0. It says the disk is not initialized and offers to initialize and create 1 Linux partition. I let it do it. Then optionally delete the new partition and save. At this point an MBR is created on the first sector of the disk. The disk as a whole is still a device of the zpool. With the MBR on the disk, I am able to import the pool and as expected. Important details: Same process with a 256GB disk works as expected without fdisk involvement. I suspect this issue is related to disks over 2TB. What I have tried: See if disk size is detected correctly and the same on the different systems. It seems that disk geometry is different for fdisk on NexentaStor than for other systems. I am not certain how to verify. Why does the creation of the MBR on such a disk allows for proper read of the ZFS labels on the end of the disk?

My original goal was setup service-network-ssh on Nexenta Illumos. As a result of the command apt-get install service-network-ssh I got the following message Reading package lists...

Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). What to do - to delete gcc manually (and again to set, and then to set ssh through a repository, but my chief considers, what for the Nexenta operating system gcc shall be set through the package manager) or to try to set service-network-ssh manually, not through a repository? If the second option preferable, I need links to service-network-ssh installation instructions to Nexenta.

I need to use utf-8, but "locale -a" produces: C POSIX iso_8859_1 the os is: SunOS cteraportal 5.11 NexentaOS_134f i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris Additional info: root@cteraportal:~# dpkg -l locales Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-f/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/t-aWait/T-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii locales 1:5.11.134-1 Transitional package How can i add utf-8? **More info** Back to this issue after some time...

I have 2 mac pros connected to a Nexenta NAS. They have a fast network connection, the same ping time, and the routes to the server are the same (both are plugged into the same switch). One computer has very slow reads and writes on the NAS when the files are larger that about 20 KB (found with ioping). It responds to ping, doesn't drop packets, it can be accessed with SSH and works fine.I've checked the network over that interface and as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong unless I am connecting to the NAS **with NFS specifically**. **What tools are available on Mac OS to understand NFS performance problems?**

Why do run id command in the Nexenta OS (Solaris+Ubuntu), I get different result? a_ay@nexenta:/etc$ id -G 513 512 1000 201 203 1010 1013 1019 1020 1036 1039 1040 1041 1045 1046 1047 a_ay@nexenta:/etc$ id -G a_ay 513 1019 1041 1047 512 1039 1036 201 3333 1000 1013 1020 1046 1057 1100 1040 1045 1048 203 1010 Moreover, I'm having a membership in one of the secondary group (1048) and I can not enter to the folder 'Folder' with GID permission is 1048. drw-r-xr-x 1 1062 1048 0 Apr 12 16:13 Folder All users in LDAP. *gentent group* work fine, and get all users correct. root@nexenta:/tmp# getent group | grep 1048 mygroupname::1048:a_ay,fred,john,superman

I got a nexenta system, I updated openssl to 1.0.1j, which I compiled from source code. I updated openssh to 6.7, from source code as well, and I get this: root@cteraportal:/root# openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014 root@cteraportal:/root# ssh -V OpenSSH_6.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 Should I expect the OpenSSL version to be updated on ssh?

I'm trying to solve the shellshock issue on my system: SunOS localhost 5.11 NexentaOS_134f i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris # bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (i386-pc-solaris2.11) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Has anybody fixed it for nexenta? How can I find the correct patch? Tried apt-get, but I can't find an active, updated repository. I'm ok with downloading patches and compiling them, just don't really know where to download nexenta packages from...

I'm using a script for Linux and for Solaris (Nexenta). This line works on Linux, but not on solaris (but when run from shell it works): cat "pg_hba.conf" | sed "0,/^local/{s/md5/trust/}" The error message is: sed: command garbled: 0,/^local/{s/md5/trust/} After some research, I found out that the sed that bash uses in the script is different. from shell: /usr/bin/sed from script: /usr/sun/bin/sed I want to make the script use /usr/bin/sed. What I tried to do: 1. call sed with full path. Same results. It seems that it is still uses the other sed... 2. tried to call it via bash -l. Same results. 3. tried to declare a different command: S=/usr/lib/sed and use $S instead. Same results. 4. checked PATH - both cmd and script have /usr/bin in it. 5. Tried replacing the double quotes to single. Same results. 6. tried running the sed with -r flag. Output is : `# /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -r /usr/xpg4/bin/sed: illegal option -- r Usage: sed [-n] script [file...] sed [-n] [-e script]...[-f script_file]...[file...]` HELP?? What I need to do is to replace the first match of "md5" with "trust" on the first line that starts with "local"). I know I can do it otherwise but I the sed issue is itching me too much! # EDIT: I hope this makes a little order... 1.

I'm running a zfs replication task, of a snapshot size ~2.5GB. I see that there is traffic going between the master and the slave, by using snoop, but I want to monitor the transmission. Is there a temporary file that I can see being created? It's Nexenta OS on both master and slave.
