similar to: zpool on a zvol inside zpool

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:

Hi All, With the help of Chuck Tuffli, I'm now able to use CTL to export a zvol over FC to a Linux host: LUN Backend Size (Blocks) BS Serial Number Device ID 0 block 4185915392 512 FBSDZFS001 ORA_ASM_01 lun_type=0 num_threads=14 file=/dev/zvol/tank/oracle_asm_01 1 block 4185915392 512 FBSDZFS002 ORA_ASM_02

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The

The `lofiadm'' man page describes how to export a file as a block device and then use `mkfs -F pcfs'' to create a FAT filesystem on it. Can''t I do the same thing by first creating a zvol and then creating a FAT filesystem on it? Nothing I''ve tried seems to work. Isn''t the zvol just another block device? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Group-

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 had some trouble installing a zone on ZFS with S10u4 (bug in the postgres packages) that went away when I used a ZVOL-backed UFS filesystem for the zonepath. I thought I''d push on with the experiment (in the hope Live Upgrade would be able to upgrade such a zone). It''s a bit unwieldy, but everything worked reasonably well - performance isn''t much worse than straight

Hi all! First off, if this has been discussed, please point me in that direction. I have searched high and low and really can''t find much info on the subject. We have a large-ish (200gb) UFS file system on a Sun Enterprise 250 that is being shared with samba (lots of files, mostly random IO). OS is Solaris 10u3. Disk set is 7x36gb 10k scsi, 4 internal 3 external. For several

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

How can I set up a ZVOL that''s accessible by non-root users, too? The intent is to use sparse ZVOLs as raw disks in virtualization (reducing overhead compared to file-based virtual volumes). Thanks, -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, I have a question, let''s say I have a zvol named vol1 which is a clone of a snapshot of another zvol (its origin property is tank/myvol at mysnap). If I send this zvol to a different zpool through a zfs send does it send the origin too that is, does an automatic promotion happen or do I end up whith a broken zvol? Best regards.

I''ve been experimenting with a two system setup in snv_134 where each system exports a zvol via COMSTAR iSCSI. One system imports both its own zvol and the one from the other system and puts them together in a ZFS mirror. I manually faulted the zvol on one system by physically removing some drives. What I expect to happen is that ZFS will fault the zvol pool and the iSCSI stack will

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

Hi folks, (Long time no post...) Only starting to get into this one, so apologies if I''m light on detail, but... I have a shiny SSD I''m using to help make some VirtualBox stuff I''m doing go fast. I have a 240GB Intel 520 series jobbie. Nice. I chopped into a few slices - p0 (partition table), p1 128GB, p2 60gb. As part of my work, I have used it both as a RAW

Today I attempted to upgrade to S10_U2 and migrate some mirrored UFS SVM partitions to ZFS. I used Live Upgrade to migrate from U1 to U2 and that went without a hitch on my SunBlade 2000. And the initial conversion of one side of the UFS mirrors to a ZFS pool and subsequent data migration went fine. However, when I attempted to attach the second side mirrors as a mirror of the ZFS pool, all

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

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

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
