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 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

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

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

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'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

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.

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

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:

Hello. I have been investigating a 'secure' Firefox solution. The cache, history and other files are kept on an encrypted slice and swap is encrypted also. The problem I am having is that I know the shell commands required to unmount /tmp, create providers with GELI with one-time keys, remount /tmp, activate swap etc. but I don't know the correct way to get this done automatically on

I have a FreeBSD 6.2-based server running a 1.2TB graid3 volume, which consists of 5x 320gb SATA hard drives. I've been getting errors in /var/log/messages from the graid3 volume, which I suspect means an underlying fault with one of the disks, but is there any way to decipher which one of these drives is throwing errors? I've checked smartctl -a /dev/adXX but nothing shows up there..

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

Hello Got strange problem with high system "%system load" and very slow user level programs (apache+php+mysql) behavior gstat shows 1.5-4% hard disk busy load but system shows about 20-30% load while user load is max 5%. vmstat shows from 2 to 35 process in "b" state. Now use 7.0-RELEASE-p5 , but the same problem was with 7.0-RELEASE. And have no idea what to do with this.

Hello out there, everybody! I was actually expecting to find several (hundred) threads with this subject being discussed. To my surprise I didn't find a single one either on these mailing lists or in the newsgroups - at least not in a language I understand. :-) I realize that gbde and geli are not designed to be better than the other but that both fit different needs and different tastes.

Hello, I manage a www (apache), database (postgresql) and e-mail (qmail) with about 100 Internet domains. We recently purchased a DELL MD3000i server with data access through ISCSI protocol. I installed a new server with FreeBSD 7.0 compiled kernel with ISCSI (v. 2.1) and SCHED_ULE scheduler. The server's local disk configuration is: 512 MB / 1024 MB SWAP 254 MB / var 2048MB / var/ qmail 512

I wouldn't report this if not for one coincidence (which is described below). I have too little facts, so this is more of a mystery problem tale than a real problem report. There are two systems: 1. old, slow, i386, UP, 7-STABLE 2. new, fast, amd64, MP, 6.3-RELEASE Systems are located at different physical locations. What is common between them: 1. they both have the same backup strategy

Hi, after one month with gmirror and gjournal running on a 7.0-RELEASE #p2 amd64 (built from latest CVS source), the box hung a couple of times when on high disk load. Finally, while building some port it won't boot for no reason obvious to me. This is what I get with kernel.geom.mirror.debug=2: ata2-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad4: 476940MB <SAMSUNG HD501LJ

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,
