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 searched around the lists and Google and found this HYPERLINK "http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/jail_2004120901.patch"http://people. freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/jail_2004120901.patch I was wondering if anyone know of a multiple IP patch that works with FreeBSD 5.4 I really do not understand why this is not included in the standard jail I mean sure jail is handy for

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

Hi. When we don't have too many IP addresses available and we want to run for example www server inside a jail, but use the same IP address as the main system, we need to actually use an internal IP address and forward http port with firewall from external IP to jail's IP. In that way we know that if somebody breaks into out jail, he cannot run sshd server (we have keys, I know) or any

Hi. I'd like to commit this patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/vfs_mount.c.9.patch It currently should change nothing, but will be needed once we allow to grant privileges for jails. I'd like to commit it now, so I can experiment easier with my ZFS improvements. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org

Hi. I've no response from so@ in this topic, probably because leak of time, so I'll try here. Here is a patch that I'm planing to commit: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/restricted_hardlinks.patch It adds two new sysctls: security.bsd.hardlink_check_uid security.bsd.hardlink_check_gid If sysctl security.bsd.hardlink_check_uid is set to 1, unprivileged users are not

I''ve detached disk from a mirrored zpool using "zpool detach" (not "zpool split") command. Is it possible to recover data from that disk? If yes, how? (and how to make it bootable) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi. I noticed that when non-64bit variable is given as a second argument to atomic_add_64() function, the result is invalid. I found few places where such situation occurs. I wonder how this got unnoticed with ztest, which fails on me within a few seconds (after I started to use Solaris atomic operations) on assertions. Maybe this only doesn''t work when compiled with gcc? Not sure, but

Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>

Hi. We''re testing the most recent ZFS version from OpenSolaris ported to FreeBSD. Kris (CCed) observed strange situation. In function arc_read() he had a panic on assertion that we try to unlock a lock which is not beeing held: rw_enter(&pbuf->b_hdr->b_datalock, RW_READER); err = arc_read_nolock(pio, spa, bp, done, private, priority, flags, arc_flags, zb);

Hi. I''m happy to inform that the ZFS file system is now part of the FreeBSD operating system. ZFS is available in the HEAD branch and will be available in FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE as an experimental feature. Commit log: Please welcome ZFS - The last word in file systems. ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under CDDL license. I''d

I can''t find anything using those functions. Can they be removed? -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd at FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil? Yes, I Am! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: not available Type:

Saw this just come through for 8-current, 7-stable ought to have it in a week or so. I have not encountered the problem so I would not be able to judge if this fixes it.

Hi. I''ve almost all file system functions working. I started to run some heavy file system regression tests. They work. fsx wasn''t able to break my port, but the test you can find here: http://people.freebsd.org/~kan/fsstress.tar.gz broke it. My kernel panics on this assertion (zfs_dir.c): 749: mutex_exit(&dzp->z_lock); 750: 751: error =

The time has come to review the current Contributor and Core contributor grants for ZFS. Since all of the ZFS core contributors grants are set to expire on 02-24-2009 we need to renew the members that are still contributing at core contributor levels. We should also add some new members to both Contributor and Core contributor levels. First the current list of Core contributors: Bill

Yeah:) I''d like to work on this. Here are my first observations: - We need to call vdev_op_asize method with additonal ''offset'' argument, - We need to move data to new disk starting from the very begining, so we can''t reuse scrub/resilver code which does tree-walk through the data. Below you can see how I imagine to extend RAIDZ. Here is the legend:

I''m CCing zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org, as this doesn''t look like FreeBSD-specific problem. It looks there is a problem with block allocation(?) when we are near quota limit. tank/foo dataset has quota set to 10m: Without quota: FreeBSD: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tank/test bs=512 count=20480 time: 0.7s Solaris: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tank/test bs=512 count=20480 time: 4.5s

Hello, I think there was already a thread on this. I just want to raise the question again if anyone has successfully booted an gdbe-encrypted filesystem (everything encrypted except the bootloader). The passphrase is entered at the bootloader prompt or embedded in the bootloader. I appreciate any tips. Thanks, - ronnel

Solaris in 32-bit mode has a 1TB device limit. UFS filesystems in 32-bit mode also have a 1TB limit, even if using a logical volume manager to span smaller than 1TB devices. So, what kind of limit does ZFS have when running under 32-bit Solaris? -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca14-102 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA
