similar to: GEOM_RAID3: Device datos is broken, too few valid components

I have a FreeBSD 6.2-based server running a 1.2TB graid3 volume, which consists of 5x 320gb SATA hard drives. I've been getting errors in /var/log/messages from the graid3 volume, which I suspect means an underlying fault with one of the disks, but is there any way to decipher which one of these drives is throwing errors? I've checked smartctl -a /dev/adXX but nothing shows up there..

Hi. Here you can find patches with changes to gmirror(8) and graid3(8): http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/gmirror.7.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/graid3.patch The patches does the following: - Significant synchronization speed improvement. Now many parallel synchronization I/O requests can be used instead of only one before. Many people requested this. - Close race

Hi, after one month with gmirror and gjournal running on a 7.0-RELEASE #p2 amd64 (built from latest CVS source), the box hung a couple of times when on high disk load. Finally, while building some port it won't boot for no reason obvious to me. This is what I get with kernel.geom.mirror.debug=2: ata2-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad4: 476940MB <SAMSUNG HD501LJ

Hello -STABLE@, So I've seen this situation seemingly randomly on a number of both physical 9.1 boxes as well as VMs for I would say 6-9 months at least. I finally have a physical box here that reproduces it consistently that I can reboot easily (ie; not a production/client server). No matter what I do: reboot shutdown -p shutdown -r This specific server will stop at "All buffers

I was using a GELI partition for /usr/home on 7.0, so it attaches and mounts on boot. The problem is it stopped working after the system was upgraded to RELENG_7/7.1-PRERELEASE. Here's how it goes: I have the following /etc/fstab: /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1d

I have a GPT formatted disk where I recently expanded the size of a partition. I used "gpart resize -i 6 ada1" first to expand the partition to use the remaining free space and then growfs to modify the FFS file system to use the full partition. This was all done in single-user mode, of course, but when I enter "exit" to bring the system up, it failed to mount /usr. This was

Hello, freebsd-stable. Does somebody use some software RAID5 on FreeBSD in real production system? I want to build storage server for my home: RAW photos, multi-layer PhotoShop files and FLAC-encoded music consume a lot of space, and they should be availible both from desktop & notebook. Also, all photo-content is unique, so I need some insuranse from single HDD crash. I understand,

I just did a source upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3. System boots but has this warning: GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (mirror/gm0, MBR) Google points to issues with FreeBSD 9 and the need to migrate to GPT but I wasn't expecting this with 8.3! Are there any quick fixes to eliminate this warning or is it safe to ignore please? sudo gpart list: Geom name: mirror/gm0 modified: false state:

hail, I have a soekris running an atom and 2GB RAM and ZFS using 7 drives, small capacity though, to test and study if I can make my home server this box and this way. It will be a simple server, three users tops. I followed the handbook and made the geli step on the disks: Geom name: label/zfs1.eli State: ACTIVE EncryptionAlgorithm: AES-XTS KeyLength: 128 Crypto: software UsedKey: 0 Flags:

Original announcement at http://blog.inquirylabs.com/ [1] == What is bundled_resource? == If your development is in any way similar to mine, there are a number of useful resources out there that make web applications shine beautifully. For example, there?s the Dynarch calendar and the textarea tools. There are a number of others?too many, in fact. The problem is that as a web developer,

Based on Dave Thomas?s AnnotateModels plugin, this plugin goes one step further and allows you to store comments on each column in the database (MySQL only).

My new PC has an internal 16-in-1 card reader connected via USB 2.0. The device is the Techsolo TCR-1640 (http://www.techsolo.de/product/cardreader/tcr_1640/index.php). I boot from a compact flash inserted in it and I can mount and unmount the same CF once the system has booted and has mounted the root partition from my graid3 array. The problem arise when I replace the inserted CF with another

Hi all, I was intending on trying out gjournal on a new disk i've added in my desktop. I had a look to see what the most recent patch provided by Pawel and found http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/gjournal6_20061024.patch I created the directories as per Pawel's original post (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2006-June/001962.html) and the patch succeeded with no failed

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

virt-v2v moves guests, it doesn't clone them. Therefore we should try to preserve the VM Generation ID (genid) as much as possible. This has the ability to read the genid from VMware VMX files and libvirt XML (but note RHBZ#1598348). It can also write the genid to libvirt (‘-o libvirt’, ‘-o local’) and QEMU (‘-o qemu’). We are missing support currently for all OVF-based formats (hence ‘-i

We have been struggling with our Lustre performance for some time now especially with large directories. I recently did some informal benchmarking (on a live system so I know results are not scientifically valid) and noticed a huge drop in performance of reads(stat operations) past 20k files in a single directory. I''m using bonnie++, disabling IO testing (-s 0) and just creating, reading,

Greetings, I just upgraded my samba server to the latest Debian stable package, which is listed as: 2.2.3a-6.

Hi, I'm using a recent RELENG_6 under I386/SMP (Athlon X2 4800+). dmesg output is under http://people.freebsd.org/~mr/dmesg.log.gz Root is on gmirror volume (2 SATA disks), a backup FS is on graid3 (5 firewire disks). This server acts as an bacula server. During backup with bacula I discovered an complete system freeze (no keyboard, nfs, disk...) after the following lines on the screen: ...

I gave the AMD64 version of 7.2 RC2 a spin and all installed as expected off the dvd INTEL S3200SHV MB, Core2Duo, 4G of RAM In the past it had been suggested that for zfs tuning, something like vm.kmem_size_max="1073741824" vm.kmem_size="1073741824" vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1 However doing a simple test with bonnie and dd, there does not seem to be very much difference in
