ZFS with Quadstor

[NetguRRu]

Hi,

Guys I am currently working on Quadstor with ZFS. Now issues I am facing is:

1. Tried to setup ZPOOL and that zpool is not available in quadstor.
2. Tried to add DIsks from ZFS Pool but it doesn't allow to add.
3. Tried to set ZVOL but it is also not adding up in quadstor more than 200G of ZVOL.

How can we use ZFS with Quadstor?
How can we add up ZFS based disks in Quadstor?

I am working on it from days and didn't find any solution, do let me know on it, I would really appreciate that.

Those are ZFS datasets and are not block devices.

We don't test with ZVOLs anymore. But there is no reason for the 200GB
limit and we are aware of implementations using Terabyte ZVOLs.

1. What happens when you add a ZVOL with size > 200GB ? Does the disk
initialization fail ? You experience a system crash ? etc.
2. Are the zpools you mention in use ?
3. How have you limited ZFS memory usage ?

Here is an example of successfull ZVOL usage, just after create. FreeBSD 10.3 and Quadstor 3.0.82, 12GB RAM, no any memory tweaks.
