Hi I'm trying to partition and encrypt my SSD for my new desktop with gpart and geli using gpt and ufs. I'm using FreeBSD 10. I've seen others create geli partition of the entire hard drive first and then partition it using gpart for /, /tmp, /var, ... I just want to know what is the...

I found this link: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-October/075504.html which explains the same problem I was having. After adding these to my /boot/loader.conf all pools are getting imported and mounted: zpool_cache_load="YES" zpool_cache_type="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"...

@asteriskRoss Thanks for your help. Your solution works perfectly. Thank you.

@trh411 Thanks for your response. I'm using FreeBSD 10 amd64 and I'm trying to install root on ZFS. Beside of boot partition, I also created FreeBSD swap, freebsd-swap, and another partition for ZFS system, freebsd-zfs. Yes. No it's not HP. It's my old system. I use it for testing different...

@asteriskRoss Thanks for your reply. I followed your instruction and everything is working now without encryption. I have one question: Following your instruction, I'm now trying to encrypt my hddroot without requiring to input passphrase. I looked at geli, and: geli init -K /tmp/hddroot.key...

@usdmatt Sorry again for responding late. I was trying different methods to setup ZFS in virtual environment. Yes I did :). So I booted up from CD/DVD (VirtualBox). In VirtualBox I created 4 SATA hard drive ada0, ada1, ada2, and ada3 Note for now I'm not using encryption. I've created 2...

Hi I created a boot partition using: gpart -a 4k -s 512K -t freebsd-boot ada0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0 and then installed the FreeBSD. Now every time I start my computer I get: gptzfsboot: error 4 3491802444 gptzfsboot: error 4 XXXXXXXXX gptzfsboot: error 4...

@SirDice Yes, your solution on not using network id as a gateway IP address made everything to work. Thank you.

@usdmatt Thanks for your reply. Very helpful information. I was practicing and experimenting with ZFS. I did import and export the pool and then reset still no luck: zpool import -f tank zpool export tank I ended up reinstalling my system, but this time after boot from DVD, and jump to shell...

Hi I'm experimenting with ZFS file system to learn more about it. I'm trying to boot my system from USB (having /boot partition in USB and rest in HDD). For simplicity no encryption involved. USB Stick: da0 HDD: ada0 Here is the steps I took (Boot from DVD (FreeBSD 10) and select shell, also...

Re: PF: Can't ping my Gateway @SirDice and @kpa, Thank you so much for your help. My computer can now ping. :) Thank again.

Re: PF: Can't ping my Gateway Hi More information: I disabled PF firewall and my sysctl.conf doesn't have anything. Try to ping my gateway and it is still no response and after some seconds, I get 100.0% packet loss. Thanks.

Hi I'm trying to set[]up ZFS on my computer using this: http://www.keltia.net/howtos/mfsbsd-zfs91/ (no mirroring). I'm skipping the beginning section(s) and start from the section "Partitioning the drives". I'm using FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img copied onto a USB memory stick and...

@kpa, and @Sylhouette Thank you guys so much for all that information.

@kpa, Thanks for your reply. Do you know by any chance what kernel option(s) do I need for ZFS? Also is it safe to remove UFS kernel options (my concern is swap partition)? Thanks again for your help.

Hi, I'm very new to ZFS and I want to move from UFS to ZFS. There are lots of tutorials in this forum about ZFS and encryption. I always slice my hard drive for /home, /usr, ... when I'm using UFS. Tutorials I found here on ZFS are using 2 slices, one for /boot and one for the rest. My...

@wblock@, Thanks for the help. NAT with PF solved my problem. My PF rules (for testing I'm only allowing DNS traffic to go out): ext_if = "bge1" int_if = "bge0" intnetowrk = "192.168.1.0/26" set skip on lo0 # ---- NAT Rule # Change Source Address/Port to $ext_if IP address/Random Port. nat...

@rolfheinrich, Thanks for your reply. The box that the ISP gave me doesn't support bridge mode unless I purchase a modem that is for a business plan. Thanks
