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 list, Last night one disk of my desktop machine dead causing a hard lock of the computer. It was a component of a mirror volume so it wasn't as serious as it initially looked. Unfortunately, the metadata structure of my data partition (a geom raid3 array with tree components ) seems to be corrupted by this hard lock, the following message is scrolled constantly on the screen:

I posted a thread on this once long ago[1] -- but we''re still fighting with this problem and I wanted to throw it out here again. All of our hardware is from Silicon Mechanics (SuperMicro chassis and motherboards). Up until now, all of the hardware has had a single 24-disk expander / backplane -- but we recently got one of the new SC847-based models with 24 disks up front and 12 in the

Hi, Am trying to build SMP kernel. Took kernel-2.6.18-194.src.rpm, extracted, rpmbuilded with SMP option. Successfully compile the new kernel and when using that kernel to boot up, following errors were shown up(highlighted in bold & red color): My kernel config file has ACPI and PCI configs enabled. Any pointers to what caused the problem are appreciated. ******************************

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..

Hello, i want to encrypt my HDD's with GELI (not the root-fs, though). I want to do the encryption without password, just with a key. The key should be stored in a floppy disk, and the read should be read automatically on boot, from the floppy. There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_ mounting the disks from /etc/fstab (for obvious reasons, of course). So GELI is not able

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, I was playing around with geli an gbde after last EuroBSDCon. I liked the idea of encrypting my data which resides in /home/$user. Since this is a "single" user laptop i intended to encrypt the whole /home partition. Well no problems with that. But i wanted the lockfile or keyfile on a seperate usb disc. Which would be mounted or used during boot of the system. I also used

I have a zpool that consists for a two-drive mirror. The two times I took the zpool offline, I had to resilver one of the drives (the same drive both times) when I imported it back. All drives in the pool show no read, write, or checksum errors and are new, so I'm looking to a software problem before hardware. Both drives are encrypted geli devices. I tried to reproduce the error with 1GB

Hi. I'm moving some of my geli installation to a new machine. On an old machine it was running UFS. I use ZFS on a new machine, but I don't have an encrypted main pool (and I don't want to), so I'm kinda considering a way where I will make a zpool on a zvol encrypted by geli. Would it be completely insane (should I use UFS instead ?) or would it be still valid ? Thanks. Eugene.

Hi, Somehow[TM] an installation of 4.11 to ad0s3 managed to wipe out my existing disklabel for 7.0 on ad0s4. I now need to recover the disklabel to get my system to boot! There were three labels - ad0s4a: UFS, exact size unknown. Is it possible to infer this from the UFS partition size? I can mount this already, as I simply wrote an 'a' label of maximum size to the disklabel - ad0s4b:

I'm not really a developer, but was considering if there is a key vulnerability in geli given that when you change a key there isn't a disk update. Consider the scenario where a new file system is created and populated with some files. At a later time the original key is changed because someone has gained access to the key and passphrase. A new key is generated and attached, but none of

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to recreate the functionality of PGP Disk (under Win32). Basically, create an encrypted file, which contains a filesystem which can then be mounted in any mount point. I know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted). I'd like to be able to simply unmount my

Hello, Just to let everyone know that this is still an issue. I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 on a Lenovo X121e and I can't get it to accept the geli passphrase during boot. I've confirmed using kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=1 that the passphrase is correct, and the same passphrase is accepted when the system is booted up. I've tried disabling kbdmux in

Followed the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html The upgrade borked.

Hi all, can someone comment on the state of the hifn(4) driver? I've recently upgraded my 6.2-STABLE workstation to RELENG_7, and I'm now experiencing system lockups that seem to be caused by the hifn(4) driver.

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:
