Hi, I was trying to rebuild world on a FreeBSD 10 test system, that I had just installed. ZFS root was setup. I let the installation program do all the ZFS setup and configuration. I put root on a 5 disk encrypted raidz array. Besides the installer configuring 5 times the amount of swap space I asked for (asked for 8gb, installer put 8gb on each drive, for 40gb in total.) everything was working

Hi: The FreeBSD10-Beta3 kernel is recompiled successfully with the following in /etc/make.conf WITH_NEW_XORG=yes WITH_KMS=yes WITH_GALLIUM=yes But after installworld, there is no sight of new xorg-server-1.12.4 in pkg cache nor in /usr/ports: How to install new xorg and where is the source? # pkg search xorg linux-f10-xorg-libs-7.4_1 xorg-7.7 xorg-apps-7.7 xorg-cf-files-1.0.5_1

I installed FreeBSD 10 from a BETA cd-rom. I chose 'experimental ZFS on root - mirror'. The FreeBSD firewall will not load. Any suggestions? This is from 'dmesg': KLD ipfw.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch linker_load_file: Unsupported file type This is from 'ls -l' of /boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1.5K Nov 28 21:55 kernel/ This is from

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

Hi: I could not figure out how to restrict users or other users from certain privileges to execute certain commands in FreeBSD/NanoBSD? What I meant is I want to create a NanoBSD image in which there will be an additional user, say 'admin'. I need to give this new user (admin) some privileges to run some root-can-only-execute commands, but not all (ACL similar to the firmwares in adsl

hi, i have raid1 on zfs with 2 device on pool first device died and boot from second not working... i try to get http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ flash and load from it with zpool import http://puu.sh/2402E when i load zfs.ko and opensolaris.ko i see this message: Solaris: WARNING: Can''t open objset for zroot/var/crash Solaris: WARNING: Can''t open objset for zroot/var/crash zpool status:

Hi Folks.. I have a system that was inadvertently left unmirrored for root. We were able to add a mirror disk, resilver, and fix the corrupted files (nothing very interesting was corrupt, whew), but zpool status -v still shows errors.. Will this self correct when we replace the degraded disk and resilver? Or is there something else that I''m not finding that I need to do to clean up?

Good morning, I have a problem with ZFS: ZFS filesystem version 4 ZFS storage pool version 15 Yesterday my comp with Freebsd 8.2 releng shutdown with ad4 error detached,when I copy a big file... and after reboot in 2 wd green 1tb say me goodbye.

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

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

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

Hi. I'm moving some of my geli installation to a new machine. On an old machine it was running UFS. I use ZFS on a new machine, but I don't have an encrypted main pool (and I don't want to), so I'm kinda considering a way where I will make a zpool on a zvol encrypted by geli. Would it be completely insane (should I use UFS instead ?) or would it be still valid ? Thanks. Eugene.

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:

I'm not really a developer, but was considering if there is a key vulnerability in geli given that when you change a key there isn't a disk update. Consider the scenario where a new file system is created and populated with some files. At a later time the original key is changed because someone has gained access to the key and passphrase. A new key is generated and attached, but none of

hail, I have a soekris running an atom and 2GB RAM and ZFS using 7 drives, small capacity though, to test and study if I can make my home server this box and this way. It will be a simple server, three users tops. I followed the handbook and made the geli step on the disks: Geom name: label/zfs1.eli State: ACTIVE EncryptionAlgorithm: AES-XTS KeyLength: 128 Crypto: software UsedKey: 0 Flags:

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

Hi: Where can I find a list of properties (-o/-O property=value) for creating a zpool?
