Dear colleagues, [I'm under 4-STABLE] What is the correct sequence to delete existing vinum module (for example, raid10) and do *not* use -f flags for vinum? in my case t is raid10 vovume: vinum -> l -r t V t State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 8191 MB P t.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 8191 MB P t.p1 S State:

When i use zpool labelclear, it wipes the whole disk including gpt data. So the whole disk is empty and i need to create the gpt partitions again. Is this supposed to work like this? The man page suggests that it only wipes the ZFS metadata. zpool labelclear [-f] device Removes ZFS label information from the specified device. The device must not be part of an active pool

Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick and

Hello. I'm having a 4.7Rp9 server which is since months quite unstable, so I've compiled a debug kernel and got a crash dump. I'm a programmer and I know a little how to use gdb, I'm not so expert about FreeBSD kernel insides however, so I can't get much from it. Any kind of help is appreciated. This is the crash message: IdlePTD at phsyical address 0x0032f000 initial pcb

Well, colleagues, I'm stuck a bit. I tried many different ways to setup system with vinum root (the only reference I found yet besides old "bootstrapping vinum" article is Joerg's commit message: http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/cvs-all_2003/msg01225.html I failed. I have 4-stable system set up at ad0, and tried to set up pair of drives for new system at ad2 and ad3 (actually,

Hi all, I got a machine with 8GB of RAM and plenty of disk space. I need gvinum to manage big number of file systems but PAE enabled kernel does not compile modules. I couldn't figure out how to get vinum statically compiled in the kernel if that is the way to go. I am running 6-STABLE. Please advise on how to get PAE kernel and gvinum working together! TIA, Stoyan

Hi, I had a power failure, and the on-disk configuration for vinum went bizarre. The logs read from disks are at http://biaix.org/pk/debug/ (log.$DEVICE files). The logs in da0 (barracuda) are the ones obviously wrong, I'm pretty sure the others are ok. Is this a 'virtually' dead drive? Can I force vinum to use the other's drive configuration? What's the less traumatic

I am trying to setup vinum on a box using 4.8 RELENG_4 (as of about a week ago snapshot). This box was running 4.6 /w vinum on same hard drives for the last 4 months wonderfully... but since it is my current 'scratch/backup' box, I just reinstalled with -STABLE. # uname -a FreeBSD polya.axista.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #22: Tue Jun 24 17:01:07 EDT 2003

I made an array out of 3 IBM 20 gigs and 3 Maxtor 20 gigs I used striping to make one big drive A couple of days ago I was copying a movie onto to it and the computer decided to reboot when it came back up I was greeted with this message Can someone please tell me if I can recover some how? or should I just rebuild the array? or is one of my disks physically bad? Detects all 7 drives (1 10gig

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,

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

I'm considering patching my copy of ogg123 to support vorbisgain tags. Is there any interest in folding this sort of patch into the main line ogg123? Has anyone done this already (or to another command line ogg player)?

Hello there! Here's my story, hopefully some of you won't follow my steps and avoid some troubles :) Yesterday I've decided that's about time to test zfs functionality on my home server PC (i386 FreeBSD 7.1-pre) . A couple of weeks ago I bought new desktop PC (with SATA), so I had a bunch of PATA disks from old one to use in server. Lucky me - there was 3 HDD at size 40GB -
