...s sense that when you're booted from a ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD that would initialize the network and copy the "release/boot" from somewhere else so that I could install bootblocks and boot-loaders from more recent code. Sadly, I didn't _record_ those commands I was using. What do "people in the know" do when they want to update the bootblocks of a ZFS-boot system? Or, have too few people followed this path so far that they can boot UFS and do it with less...

I''m still trying to find a fix/workaround for the problem described in Unable to mount root pool dataset http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=492460 Since the Blade 1500''s rpool is mirrored, I''ve decided to detach the second half of the mirror, relabel the disk, create an alternative rpool (rpool2) there, copy the current BE (snv_134) using beadm

Hi folks, I've been trying to get WINE to run on my new mandrake 8.0 box for _four_ _months_. Every version of WINE gives me: err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock The filesystem is not FAT !! (device=/dev/hda1) when I try to run an app that opens/closes files (e.g. notepad.exe). Software that doesn't use files runs fine (calc.exe) I can read/write to the partition /dev/hda1 just fine...

Suppose I have a single ZFS pool on a single disk; I want to upgrade the system to use two different, larger disks and I want to mirror. Can I do something like: - I start with disk #0 - add mirror on disk #1 (resilver) - replace first disk (#0) with disk #2 (resilver) Casper

...at removing sdb1 from the mirror and reattaching it for resync would be sufficient, however I was looking for comments on this from anyone with experience or opinion on the matter. Googling the issue doesn't seem to turn up any recent related results. Also, could the upgrade have touched the bootblock on sda1 but not sdb1 and thus trigger this problem?

Hi, all. Every now and then, some of my users get "Error" on their phones. A reboot fixes it, but it's quite annoying/inconvenient. I'm running Asterisk 1.2.4, and have the following firmware, etc.: Bootrom: 2.6.2.0032 BootBlock: 2.5.0(11500_030) SIP application: 1.6.2.0041 Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks! -Ken

...est release of the Asterisk code (1.4.17) and other software. If I call between phones (i.e. two Polycom's) everything is crystal clear so it doesn't appear to be a Polycom issue.

...them are in the first 68kB of the filesystem (mdraid excluded) so it shouldn't be too hard to zero them out. Let's hope nobody ever uses "0x00000000" as magic. mke2fs already tries to do this, though I notice: - the zap_sector() call will skip the entire write if there is a BSD bootblock, instead of skipping only the first sector(s) and overwriting the rest... Since I don't know much about BSD bootblocks, I don't know what the right behaviour is, but I can guess we still want to zero out 4-68kB (or whatever). - it only overwrites up to sector 8 (4kB) and not further i...

Hi everyone, I just finished installing FreeBSD 6 RELEASE on my Toshiba Tecra A4 laptop and the installation was fine, however, when I rebooted the machine, I don't get the boot loader screen as if the machine can not see my drive! I tried the reinstalling and ensured that I set the slice to be bootable but that didn't change anything. Not sure if this is a common issue with FreeBSD 6 on

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up again but I can't quit get this too work. I'm trying to build a 2.88 floppy image so that I can use PXE to load Ghost. I'm useing the following to get a copy of the bootsector: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootblock bs=512 count=1 Then I build the image file with: mformat -C -t 160 -s 18 -h 2 -B bootblock x: Then use mcopy to put the required files into the image. I mount the image on the loop back device and everything looks ok, but when I try to boot a machine from this it just moans "invalid s...

Dear all, given a DVD drive and DAT Tape Drive, and using Solaris 10 U7 (5/09), how can we plan for a total backup of ZFS root disk and procedure to recover that? Previously using UFS, we just need to use boot from Solaris OS DVD media, also using ufsdump, ufsrestore and installboot. Anybody can point me on how to achieve the same thing when the whole system disk are busted? Thanks in
