Hello
I just installed FreeBSD-current on a box (actually upgraded 6.2 to -
current) to experiment a bit.
I was playing around with ZFS a bit and tried out the quota features.
While doing this I noticed that it doesnt seem like you get a "disk
full" notice the same way as you do on a "normal" (UFS) filesystem.
Instead of aborting the operation with "No space left on device" it
just continued:
[root@devbox ~]# zpool create tank /dev/ad2
[root@devbox ~]# zpool list
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
tank 37.2G 111K 37.2G 0% ONLINE -
[root@devbox /tank]# zfs create -V 10M tank/set3vol
[root@devbox /tank]# newfs /dev/zvol/tank/set3vol

[root@devbox /tank]# mount /dev/zvol/tank/set3vol set3vol/
[root@devbox /tank]# cd set3vol/
[root@devbox /tank/set3vol]# dd if=/dev/urandom of=test

No hard stop there, it just tries to write more and more and more..
Well the quota is enforced fine but shouldnt there be some more hard
error? I'm not sure how regular UFS quotas work though since I never
used them, but this seems like strange behaviour.
Anyway, how "stable" is the ZFS support and -current / Fbsd7 in
general now? I'm about to get a new server, 8 core xeon thingy with
lots of disk, so I would probably benifit very much from running
freebsd-7 (much better multicore performance if i've understood
correct). Beeing able to use ZFS for some of my jails would rock too,
having individual quotas and all the other flexibilitys ZFS provides
(ie creating a new set for every jail and enforce individual quota)..
Would anyone dare to do this on a production machine yet? Is anyone
doing it?
Well, it can't be said to many times, keep up the good work! Thanks
all fbsd developers (and others too!) :)
