Motivation
ZFS an innovative approach in area of File Systems.
ZFS is proved as Desktop to Data center.
One of the Open Source Revolution.
Introduction ZFS Playing an important role in IT
industry. Advanced than existing File Systems. Sooner will be spreading to UNIX, Linux or
may be Windows. Immense Capacity. Simple Administration Provides Data Integrity. Performance
Historical Perspective.
80 great minds Led by Jeff Bonwick developed ZFS. Actual implementation started in
year 2000. Announced on September 14,2004. Released on November 16,2005. Included in Sun Solaris on 06/06.
Design Issues In ZFS.
Simplified Administration Main Task of Administrator. Sometimes may prone to errors. Solaris best option. Allows administrator to state his intent rather
than to implement it. Reduced no of tasks and reduced time.
Cannot guarantee correct data End to end data integrity Hard to manage in slices Any number of slices Not Flexible and platform Flexible and platform
dependent independent. Lack one to one association One to one association
Pooled Storage
Data Integrity and Security.
Disk should avoid corruption or rot or malicious In past dealing with file systems was like a nightmare Earlier version of UFS. ‘fsck’ command . Mirrored disks Direct Region Logging (DRL)
Capacity of ZFS
128 bit file system 2^128, or 10^38 allocation units Nearly 256 Quadrillion Zettabytes 1 ZB = 1 billion TB
The Zettabyte File System
Storage Model
Storage Pool Allocator
Allocates block from all devices in a storage pool
SPA presents itself as interface to allocate and free virtually addressed blocks
DVA ( Data Virtual Addresses) DVA allows dynamic addition and removal of devices
from storage pool SPA also simplifies administration Uses 128-bit block addresses, so each storage pool can
address up to 256 quadrillion blocks
Error detection and Correction
Block check summed before written to disk Check summed stored in parent block. Entire pool self validating Also allows self healing in some circumstances
Virtual Device SPA allows mirroring, stripping,cocatenation Virtual device driver called vdews vedws has routines to implement a particular feature
Block Allocation devices
Dynamic Stripping to increase bandwidth Slab Allocator to allocator Metaslabs useful as performance increases Slab Allocator provides Copy-On-Write
Transaction Slab Allocator prevents fragmentation of
memory
Data Management Unit DMA consumes blocks from SPA and exports
objects Identification by 64 bit and contains 2^64
bytes of data along with all the manipulations On disk data is consistent Uberblock Uberblock mechanism Dynamic allocation of metadata is easier Advantages of DMU
Block Allocation devices
ZFS POSIX Layer ZPL makes DMU objects as like POSIX file
systems Implements as like POSIX acts As transaction continues so no inconsistency is
present on disk state No need to use mkfs command to create file
systems Consist of logs due to which tracks of record is
kept The intent log can log either to disk or to NVRAM.
Benefits of ZFS
The Future Proof File System Cutting-Edge Data Integrity Near Platter Speed Volume Management is a Thing of
the Past. Reduced Costs Compatibility
ZFS Limitations
No BOOT Support. Lacks Transparent Encryption. Currently have n+1 redundancy. N+ 2 redundancy only in
Development Environment.
Supported Platforms
Sun SOLARIS OS. Available on SPARC and X86. Apple to interested to port in MAC
OS. Linux too will have it in nearby
future. Porting to Free BSD is in progress
Conclusion
Easy and automated manageability.
Data security and integrity. Virtually unlimited scalability. Services for demanding
applications today and well into future.
Hey! Administrator you need not dig it or monitor it As I have Solaris ZFS
