Why doesn't ZFS have user or group quotas?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
ZFS file systems can be used as logical administrative control points, which allow you to view usage, manage properties, perform backups, take snapshots, and so on. For home directory servers, the ZFS model enables you to easily set up one file system per user. ZFS quotas are intentionally not associated with a particular user because file systems are points of administrative control.

Why doesn't ZFS have an fsck-like utility?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
Verify file system integrity - Many times, administrators simply want to make sure that there is no on-disk corruption within their file systems. With most file systems, this involves running fsck while the file system is offline. This can be time consuming and expensive. Instead, ZFS provides the ability to 'scrub' all data within a pool while the system is live, finding and repairing any bad data in the process. There are future plans to enhance this to enable background scrubbing.

Why can I not get user quotas to work properly?

FreeBSD Documentation - Chapter 10 System Administration
Yes, FreeBSD supports System V-style IPC, including shared memory, messages and semaphores. Versions of FreeBSD later than 3.2 support System V IPC in the GENERIC kernel. In earlier versions of FreeBSD, enable this support by adding the following lines to your kernel config. options SYSVSHM # enable shared memory options SYSVSEM # enable for semaphores options SYSVMSG # enable for messaging

What does ZFS stand for?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
Originally, ZFS was an acronym for "Zettabyte File System." The largest SI prefix we liked was 'zetta' ('yotta' was out of the question). Since ZFS is a 128-bit file system, the name was a reference to the fact that ZFS can store 256 quadrillion zettabytes (where each ZB is 270 bytes). Over time, ZFS gained a lot more features besides 128-bit capacity, such as rock-solid data integrity, easy administration, and a simplified model for managing your data.

Why does ZFS have 128-bit capacity?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
File systems have proven to have a much longer lifetime than most traditional pieces of software, due in part to the fact that the on-disk format is extremely difficult to change. Given the fact that UFS has lasted in its current form (mostly) for nearly 20 years, it's not unreasonable to expect ZFS to last at least 30 years into the future. At this point, Moore's law starts to kick in for storage, and we start to predict that we'll be storing more than 64 bits of data in a single filesystem.
Related Questions

What limits does ZFS have?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
The limitations of ZFS are designed to be so large that they will never be encountered in any practical operation. ZFS can store 16 Exabytes in each storage pool, file system, file, or file attribute. ZFS can store billions of names: files or directories in a directory, file systems in a file system, or snapshots of a file system. ZFS can store trillions of items: files in a file system, file systems, volumes, or snapshots in a pool.
Related Questions

What can I do if ZFS panics on every boot?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
ZFS is designed to survive arbitrary hardware failures through the use of redundancy (mirroring or RAID-Z). Unfortunately, certain failures in non-replicated configurations can cause ZFS to panic when trying to load the pool. This is a bug, and will be fixed in the near future (along with several other nifty features, such as background scrubbing).
Related Questions

Can devices be removed from a ZFS pool?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
You can remove a device from a mirrored ZFS configuration by using the zpool detach command. Removal of a top-level vdev, such as an entire RAID-Z group or a disk in an unmirrored configuration, is not currently supported. This feature is planned for a future release.
Related Questions

Can I split a mirrored ZFS configuration?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
Currently, ZFS does not support the ability to split a mirrored configuration for cloning or backup purposes. The best method for cloning and backups is to use ZFS clone and snapshot features. For information about using ZFS clone and snapshot features, see the ZFS Admin Guide. See RFE 6421958 to recursively send snapshots that will improve the replication process across systems.
Related Questions

Is ZFS supported in a clustered environment?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
SunCluster 3.2 supports a local ZFS file system as highly available (HA) in the Solaris 10 11/06 release. This support allows for live failover between systems, with automatic import of pools between systems. If you use SunCluster 3.2 to configure a local ZFS file system as highly available, review the following caution: Do not add a configured quorum device to a ZFS storage pool.

Quota Database
Quotas in politics involve setting up a percentage or number for the representation of a certain group, here women, most often in the form of a minimum percentage, for instance 20, 30 or 40 percent. Quotas are used as a measure to increase the representation of historically excluded or under-represented groups in politics. Quota regulations may target women or may be gender neutral, e.g. â??no more than 60% of either sex'.

How do I set user and group permissions?

phpBB • Support
These are set from Admin -> Users (Groups) -> Permissions. The system may appear strange but it's very powerful. When you look up a user or group it will give you basic information (at the top of the page) followed by the available forum listing and current settings for this user. You can assign moderator status to users and groups and if you have PRIVATE forums (or forums with any of their individual operations set to PRIVATE) you can also assign access.

I open a subject window, but it doesn't display all the articles in the group. What's wrong?

MT-NW Manual: Frequently Asked Questions
Check the Maximum number of articles to fetch option in the Newsreading Options preferences topic. Is it set to small number like 400? If it is, that's the problem. See the description of this option in the Preferences chapter for details. Because the world isn't perfect, that's how come. That number MT-NewsWatcher shows you in your user group list is just an estimate based on imperfect information it gets from your news server.

Can I use ZFS as my root file system? What about for zones?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
Currently, ZFS file systems cannot be used as a root file system on Solaris 10 releases. However, a small subset of ZFS root and boot support is available in the SX community release for x86 systems. For more information, see ZFS Boot. Please stay tuned for the Solaris 10 ZFS boot schedule. ZFS can be used as a zone root path in the Solaris Express release, but it cannot be patched or upgraded until those tools recognize ZFS file systems. For more information, see the Zones FAQ.

Which third party backup products support ZFS?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client software (5.4.1.2) backs up and restores ZFS file systems with both the CLI and the GUI. ZFS ACLs are also preserved. Computer Associates' BrightStor ARCserve product backs up and restores ZFS file systems, but ZFS ACLs are not preserved. Yes, ZFS works with either direct-attached devices or SAN-attached devices. However, if your storage pool contains no mirror or RAID-Z top-level devices, ZFS can only report checksum errors but cannot correct them.

How do the new -net options work? Why doesn't -net user work like -user-net used to?

FrequentlyAskedQuestions - #qemu Wiki
of QEMU 0.8.0 the command-line options controlling network emulation have been rewritten. The new options are much more flexible and powerful, but can cause some confusion when converting old command-lines to the new scheme. A QEMU "vlan" is like a virtual Ethernet hub. QEMU vlans are local to each QEMU instance. They are not related to 802.1Q VLANs. Each -net option plugs a device into that hub (vlan0 by default). New vlans are created automatically as required.

What if the User doesn't raise the Indent?

Welcome To Ascomp Technologies
Answer. If user doesn't or can't raise an indent, it is for the MRP or the purchase manager to fulfill the demand. To fulfill the demand, both MRP as well as purchase manager will create indents. In both cases, indent will not have info about item requisitions. MRP will estimate the requirement by looking at the current stock, safety stock and requisitions in hand. It will raise 1 or many indents for the balance requirements.
