...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...

Hi all,I had 2 vmware linux node(the kernel is 2.6.9.42,crs is 10gr2) and the ocfs2 had work normal,but every time when I try to run root.sh with root,the node a will be hung as follow: [root@rac2 OraHome1]# ./root.sh WARNING: directory '/oracle' is not owned by root Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured /etc/oracle does not exist. Creating it now. Setting the

Giorgio, I'll answer in reverse order: I've not had reports of "noise" from my users. However, when I went down to get the s/w version from the phone that seems to be acting up the most, the user reported that earlier they were actually on a call that was ok then spontaneously dropped the audio. Per my instructions (based on another similar report I read on Digium's site),

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

Saturday I did an upgrade from 5.3 (original install) to 5.4. Saturday night, /etc/cron.weekly reported the following: /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check: WARNING: mismatch_cnt is not 0 on /dev/md0 md0 holds /boot and resides, mirrored, on sda1 and sdb1. md1 holds an LVM volume containing the remaining filesytems, including swap. The underlying hardware is just a few months hold,

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

I'm setting up a new Asterisk system on a Dell server and I'm getting "fuzzy" voice between the Polycom IP SoundStation 550 and the Asterisk server. I've checked all of my codec settings and both the Asterisk and the Polycom agree on u-Law encoding. I'm using the latest release of the Asterisk code (1.4.17) and other software. If I call between phones (i.e. two

Hi, I'm having trouble rationalizing the behaviour described below. Is this a security-issue (bug) or a feature? - An unprivileged user 'bztest' with read-only access to /dev/ar0: %id uid=1004(bztest) gid=1004(test) groups=1004(test), 5(operator) %ls -l /dev/ar0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 21 Nov 23 17:34 /dev/ar0 - Now, the device ar0 has the standard mbr installed: %cmp

...ope 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 into the disk to catch e.g. reiserfs superblocks. Usually it will overwrite this anyways (GDT, bitmaps, inode table), but 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

Hello List, I have been told to get linux running on two HP DL360G4p machines (ancient rackmount xeon stuff). Unfortunately, while isolinux boots fine from CDROM, and extlinux can boot a USB stick, I cannot get extlinux to boot from the CCISS hard disks (two disks in hardware raid 1 configuration). I searched on google a lot, and found (very old, many years ago) messages saying these

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

Hi, I was trying to rebuild world on a FreeBSD 10 test system, that I had just installed. ZFS root was setup. I let the installation program do all the ZFS setup and configuration. I put root on a 5 disk encrypted raidz array. Besides the installer configuring 5 times the amount of swap space I asked for (asked for 8gb, installer put 8gb on each drive, for 40gb in total.) everything was working

hail, I partitioned the disk this way: fdisk da0 ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=12161 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=12161 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I
