similar to: ZFS: can't read MOS of pool

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:

Hi: Where can I find a list of properties (-o/-O property=value) for creating a zpool? I meant something like: #zpool create \ -o ashift=12 \ -0 dedup=off -O autoexpand=off -O atime=off \ -O canmount=off \ -O compression=lz4 \ -O normalization=formD \ -O mountpoint=/jail \ tank \ mirror \ /dev/gptid/diskname0 \ /dev/gptid/diskname1 \

Hi, Is there anything known about ZFS under 10.0-BETA4 when FreeBSD was upgraded from 9.2-RELEASE? I have two servers, with very different hardware (on is with soft raid and the other have not) and after a zpool upgrade, no way to get the server booting. Do I miss something when upgrading? I cannot get the error message for the moment. I reinstalled the raid server under Linux and the other

Hi all, Is it mandatory to add device mem to jails to enable network via the gateway? Left ezjail with FreeBSD-6.3 (and a hardware replacement of my server) and am now starting again with FreeBSD-7.1. Early this week, I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1 (not having 'used' jails on 7.0). After creating the jail with `ezjail-admin update -i` I created a 'ports build' jail `ezjail-admin

I received this message today, and remembered, you can't do that... $ doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT Enter new password: doveadm(dan): Fatal: open(/dev/tty) failed: No such file or directory </pre> It seems if you have no tty, you can't create a password. Surely there is a better way to do this? Looking at the code, it's trying to open the tty and turn off echo. For the

Recently under amd64 and 9.1-STABLE I am seeing issues with the bce driver. Message is "Warning: bootcode thinks driver is absent". After this message, the box appears to be wedged. After rebooting, it got the same message during fsck. So we installed 9.2 pre-release using a snapshot iso from 7/13/13. Shortly after boot we got the same message. We are now in the process of

On Solaris 10 If I install using ZFS root on only one drive is there a way to add another drive as a mirror later? Sorry if this was discussed already. I searched the archives and couldn''t find the answer. Thank you.

Hello, using 8.2 the machine runs fine, using 8.3 or higher, not so much. In laymans terms, if I do "too many" writes/time just once, the machine can't do any disk access for a couple of hours. As in: What's already running stays running, no crashes or anything, but as soon as I need to read from disk (login, start program not cached in memory from previous run), I'm

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 there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

Hi, I installed FreeBSD/amd64 9.1-RELEASE yesterday. I chose to do a manual installation due to the use of ZFS. I checked out stable/9 and recompiled both world and GENERIC kernel. Said kernel and world was installed without any problems. System is still up & running, with uname -a revealing r243825. I then decided to upgrade the root pool to feature flags, SPA version 5000, and was not so

Dear Syslinux folks, For a firmware update I am following the Gentoo Wiki [1] to create a floppy image of 20 MB, so that the vendor update utility fits. Unfortunately, FreeDOS does not load, and it seems to hang loading the FreeDOS kernel. The original FreeDOS image boots. Do you know if that issue is memdisk related? It?s started from GRUB with the commands below. linux16 /boot/memdisk

Hi I just did a system update and after I've rebooted it doesn't boot up any more. All I'm getting is a blank screen with a curser blinking at the top left corner of the screen. This system was running 7.0-STABLE Any ideas as to how I can get it back up? Regards Reinhold

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

Hi, I work in Dell Support and I have a customer with a PowerEdge 1650 Server with Intel? PRO/1000 XT (82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controllers). The nic is integrated on the motherboard. The customer is using a Linux system with DHCP+tftp to PXE boot and load an MS-Dos 6.22 image, with an UNDI driver, over to the PowerEdge 1650 and then map a Samba share to install Windows 2000. The customer get
