Site down

Hi everyone,

Recently an article was posted on LinuxWorld about ZFS-FUSE. See also the Slashdot article.

In case you're wondering why the ZFS-FUSE website is down, it's because I have been without Internet access since Monday. I never thought I'd say this again but I'm using a 33Kb dial-up connection right now (I think this might be slower than this)..

As a consequence, the Mercurial repositories are also down, and I might not receive some of your emails..

On another note, there has been recent reports of corruption in Raid-Z pools, so please backup your data before trying ZFS-FUSE!

Started using zfs through fuse for backup storage and I am constantly impressed by it. Good going - well done!

Achei muito interessante o ZFS, estou interessado sobre este filesystem.
Queria mais informações, saber como utiliza-lo em conjunto com o linux.
Quais são as principais falhas, e tudo mais.
Ta em portugues, mais sei que tu é de portugal, precisa exercitar o portugues.
Grato

Maybe with such an important project, someone could sponsor you a better connection to the Internet!

John, I definitely agree.

Let me know if you need it hosted still. Just email me and we can either host it off our T1 or on one of our hosted servers.

That bug has already been fixed in the latest development code - please try the latest mercurial revision (see instructions in the ZFS-FUSE website).

'problem' with removable devices ?
ok, we have 2 usb-hd,sda and sdb,
i plug sda and i create a pool with the command:

zpool create usb1 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-HTC42602_0G7AT00-0:0

now if i export the pool usb1,zfs store ONLY sda instead of the unique id "disk/by-id/usb-HTC42602_0G7AT00-0:0"
(you can et this id whith "udevinfo --query all --name /dev/sda")
the problem is that if i plug other usb disk and than sda and than i try to import the pool usb1, it fail because it try to import 'sda' only and not the entire unique id that i have used to create the pool.
I thin zfs must store the unique id or i think there are problems with removable device.

or am i doing something wrong ? :D

(sorry for my bad english)

To the last 2 anonymous comments - yes, known bug :(

To the disk by-id problem:

I'm not sure if I'm following you. Can you please provide a bug report with step-by-step instructions?

FYI, if you use "zpool import", it will by default scan all the devices in the top-level /dev directory for pools, and so it will use /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc..

If you want to import the pool by id, you can use "zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id"
