[OmniOS-discuss] data gone ...?

Wed Sep 9 16:04:22 UTC 2015

Hi Ben,

Actually, I have a KVM above virtualized Windows server and KVM provides all necesary services, like iSCSI. I suspect as a problem here lack of free space on the pool, because I had more then 90% filled with data and omnios pool signalised 0% free space. The fastest solution has been deletion of this disk, restoration from backup and cleanup some useless data (there wasn't any databases or system disks).
Now I have unfortunately a different problem for that I start new fiber.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Martin,

You say that you are exporting a volume over iSCSI to your windows server. I assume that means you have an NTFS (or other windows filesystem) sitting on top of the iSCSI volume? It might be worth using windows tools to check the integrity of that filesystem as it may be that rather than ZFS that is causing problems.

Are you using the built in Windows iSCSI initiator? I’ve had problems with this in past on versions of windows older than windows 8 / server 2012 due to it not supporting iSCSI unmap commands and therefore being unable to tell ZFS to free blocks when files are deleted. You can see if you are having this problem by comparing the free space reported by both windows and ZFS. If there is a disparity then you are likely experiencing this problem and could ultimately end up in a situation where ZFS will stop allowing writes because it thinks the volume is full no matter how many files you delete from the windows end. I saw this manifest as errors with the NTFS filesystem on the windows end as from Windows point of view it has free space and can’t understand why it isn’t allowed to write, it sees it as an error.

Hallo everyone,

I have a little problem here. I'm using OmniOS v11 r151014 with nappit 0.9f5 and 3 pools (2 data pool and a system) There is a problem with epool that I'm sharing by iSCSI to Windows 2008 SBS server. This pool is few days old, but used disks are about 5 years old. Obviously something happen with one 500GB disk (S:0 H:106 T:12), but data on epool seems to be in a good condition. But. I had a problem with accessing some data on that pool and today most of them (roughly 2/3) have disappeared. But ZFS seems to be ok and available space epool indicates is the same as day before.

I welcome any advice.
