similar to: FreeBSD 9 "gptboot: invalid backup GPT header" error (boots fine though)

Hi, I have been trying out a nice new tws controller and decided to enable debugging in the kernel and run some stress tests. With a regular GENERIC kernel, it boots up fine. But with debugging, it panics on boot. Anyone know whats up ? Is this something that should be sent directly to LSI ? pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0

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

Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 9.0-release / amd64 on a new machine (Acer Aspire X1470). I installed from a usb memory stick (the default amd64 image), which I booted by pressing "F12" and selecting it from the boot menu on the machine. I installed on a SSD (which replaced the hard drive originally in the machine), using the default scheme for 9.0 (GPT). The installation was painless (many

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

So, I've long known and it makes 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

Hi. On one of my fresh installed servers I am seeing the following output during boot: gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 30 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 30 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 31 gptzfsboot:

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:

I've now seen this on two different VMs on two different ESXi servers (Xeon based hosts but different hardware otherwise and at different facilities): Everything runs fine for weeks then (seemingly) suddenly/randomly the clock STOPS. In the first case I saw a jump backwards of about 15 minutes (and then a 'freeze' of the clock). The second time just 'time standing

Hello all, I''ve tried changing all kinds of attributes for the zfs''s, but I can''t seem to find the right configuration. So I''m trying to move some zfs''s under another, it looks like this: /pool/joe_user move to /pool/homes/joe_user I know I can do this with zfs rename, and everything is fine. The problem I''m having is, when I mount

Hi. Since this revision (appeared in 6.3) I think ipfw violates POLA. I mean "ipfw table N list" shows values of table in Internet '.' notation. A friend of mine was surprised to found Internet representation of this "optional 32-bit unsigned value". For example security/bruteblock stores unix timestamps here and AFAICS there is no possibility to come back to the

I have a new system which includes a Plextor PX-740a DVD+-R/RW CD-R/RW drive attached to an Asus A8V-MX motherboard. When I try to use burncd to burn a cd, it writes all of the data, says "fixating CD, please wait.." and then reports burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCFIXATE): Input/output error Oddly enough, the CD seems to be usable. I can successfully burn the same file if I use cdrecord. The

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. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful

Hi all, I would like to knwon if with ZFS it''s possible to do something like that : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/removeadisk.html meaning : I have a zpool with 48 disks with 4 raidz2 (12 disk). Inside those 48 disk I''ve 36x 3T and 12 x 2T. Can I buy new 12x4 To disk put in the server, add in the zpool, ask zpool to migrate all data on those 12 old disk on the new and

I am attempting to install 7.1-BETA2 (from CD) onto a PC with a Promise SX4060 RAID controller and two Seagate 120GB ATA disk drives. The boot from CD keeps repeating the following (error) messages: (I'm retyping here) ============================================================================ ================== ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE task queue timeout - completing

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.
