Hi Guys, Has somebody encountered (significantly) different read/write speeds when using gmirror? I have 2xWD WD30EFRX RED drives which are configured as follows: $ gmirror status Name Status Components mirror/root COMPLETE ada0p2 (ACTIVE) ada1p2 (ACTIVE) mirror/data COMPLETE ada0p4 (ACTIVE) ada1p4 (ACTIVE) mirror/root is mounted

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 p5 last night. Upon rebooting, the second disk in the mirror is missing. # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 status: DEGRADED subdisks: 0 ad0 ONLINE 1 ---- MISSING # grep ata /var/run/dmesg.boot ad0: 238475MB <WDC WD2500AVJB-63UDA0 00.02C01> at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 238475MB <WDC WD2500AVJB-63UDA0 00.02C01> at ata0-slave UDMA100 ar0: disk0

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

With the introduction of zfs to FreeBSD 7.0, a door has opened for more mirroring options so I would like to get some opinions on what direction I should take for the following scenario. Basically I have 2 machines that are "clones" of each other (master and slave) wherein one will be serving up samba shares. Each server has one disk to hold the OS (not mirrored) and then 3 disks, each

I've been deploying FreeBSD 9 without issue on a number of near-identical servers for a client, but have run into an interesting annoyance when I hit the two DB servers. These DB servers have an LSI 3ware 9750-8i (running a 6 disk RAID 10 in a single 3TB virtual volume) which puts them apart from the other two servers in this cluster (which don't show either issue I am about to

Hello, I have not had much time to research this problem yet, so please let me know what further information I might be able to provide. This weekend I attempted to upgrade a computer from 8.2-RELEASE-p3 to 8.4 using freebsd-update. After I rebooted to test the new kernel, I got a panic. I had to take a picture of the screen. Here's a condensed version: panic: page fault cpuid = 1 KDB:

hail, I have an old AthlonXP 1700+ running 7-STABLE: FreeBSD xxx 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #1: Thu Nov 13 23:54:59 BRT 2008 root@xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx i386 where I have two 750GB Seagate SATA Disks. They are divided as two slices, around the first 120GB are gathered in gmirror, and what left is in gstripe. so that's whats going on. if the machine locks, and fsck comes to

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,

Rarely, a geli partition I have freezes a process in bufwait state. It occurs after an ATA timeout message: Aug 5 03:47:13 thor kernel: ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=219028637 The geli partition resides on an Intel MatrixRAID RAID1 mirror using the ICH9R chipset (Asus P5K-E/WIFI). Killing (even -9) the process does not work. Rebooting is the only solution, yet the

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

Hi list, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1-Release amd64 on a Supermicro server: SuperStorage Server 6027R-E1R12N with Intel Xeon E5-2640 CPU and 32 GB (4 x 8 ) KVR16R11D4/8HC installed Currently I have only 2 SSD Kingston drives (working in mirror) installed on that server. during booting installer from the ISO CD (amd64), the boot process fails with message: Mounting from

Hello zfs question about memory. I heard zfs is very ram hungry. Service looking to run: - nginx - postgres - php-fpm - python I have a machine with two quad core cpus but only 4 G Memory I'm looking to buy more ram now. What would be the recommend amount of memory for zfs across 6 drives on this setup? Also can 9.1 now boot to zfs from the installer? (no tricks for post install) Thanks

Hi all ! Thanks for the very good support of Dell R320 hardware, perc H310 is well supported, BCM5720 seems to work correctly and performances are great. The only problem i have found is very strange. The FreeBSD bootloader take many times to load, 30sec-2minutes to boot the kernel and show the bootloader menu. After that, the system boots properly, at a normal speed. Is there any issue or

after trying to mount my zfs pools in single user mode I got the following message for each: May 18 09:09:36 gw kernel: ZFS: WARNING: pool 'cache1' could not be loaded as it was last accessed by another system (host: gw.bb1.matik.com.br hostid: 0xbefb4a0f). See: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY any zpool cmd returned nothing else as not existing zfs, seems the zfs info on disks

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 -

Hi list, since we activated 10gbe on ixgbe cards + jumbo frames(9k) on 9.0 and now on 9.1 we recognize that after a random period of time, sometimes a week, sometimes only a day, the system doesn't send any packets out. The phenomenon is that you can't login via ssh, nfs and istgt is not operative. Yet you can login on the console and execute commands. A clean shutdown isn't possible
