    Solved zpool max space barrier?

    Would like to call attention to some typos, but I'm feeling I understand your post. MBR maxes at just shy of 2*TB*, and if I replace the freebsd GUID type with freebsd-zfs type, I might get 5*TB* Strike that. Commands below, still at 1.9TB with a freebsd-zfs type root@warden:~ # zfs unmount...

    Solved zpool max space barrier?

    Thank you loads for this information, manpage snippet etc. All very good information. Thank you. I followed MBR Root on ZFS as my basis for setting up da0 (pool named ciss0d0). I just snagged enough directions to get a zpool on da1 (pool named ciss0d1). With your snippet, I recreated the...

    Solved zpool max space barrier?

    I understand all of this, tingo. Good points, I will still use it though. Noted your points. ciss0 is the controller who presents da0 (500GB) and da1 (about 5TB), I shortcutted the pool name for both of those, ciss0d0 and ciss0d1. "tank" or "data" aren't useful enough for me when it comes...

    Solved zpool max space barrier?

    I'm baffled. Hence my post. Searching doesn't seem to return a relevant information to my problem. New install, 12.0-RELEASE amd64. Installed base, kernel and lib32 sets. I have a ciss0 hardware raid controller, with two logical drives defined, a da0 of 500GB, and remainder (about 5TB) da1...

    fibs in 10.0R jails

    I abandoned the fib route, and set a static route to the NIC subnet to the broader 10.0.0.0/8 range. While not exactly what I wanted, it is serving my needs. I appreciate the feedback and it did help in the sanity check I often find myself without. Thank you, --Tim

    fibs in 10.0R jails

    Hello, I've got a multihomed PC that is currently setup with the 10.0R (redesigned) jails, and I'm having issues getting the setfib altered routing table to effect in the jail. The default fib (0) is applied when I set exec.fib globally or in an instance of a jail. I have to unhide /dev/mem...

    FreeBSD 8.2R i386 iSCSI problems

    Hi all, Having problems discovering iSCSI devices over a local LAN, the two boxes are on the same switch and can ping and telnet each other for connectivity. However, iscontrol(8) cannot discover the LUNs offered by the target server. Standard i386 FreeBSD host with iscsi_initiator(4)...

    I'm panicked!

    No, didn't fled the country -- I couldn't track what the problem was, but tar missed some files when creating the archive (might I add a Dell server -- I've come to hate Dell) and cpio missed other files when creating it's archive. between tar and cpio, I got everything across. Tar was not...

    SCSI sense: UNIT ATTENTION, a problem?

    from mpt(4), Is your controller one of the listed supported cards? Is the RAID BIOS updated? A supported card also would help if the BIOS/Firmware is up to the latest too. The ASC 29/0 is not a common one I've seen, and I support mass disk storage subsystems at work. I see tons of Sense...

    I'm panicked!

    OK, I think I pinpointed why this migration should be on my failblog. I wasn't thinking of naming conventions but rather just the work that needs to be done. Here's my problem.. I'm trying to bring several GB of email archives (from an IMAP server) over. The source server has a *LOT* of...

    ZFS preventing POST

    Issue identified Thanks all for your feedback. Last post on this thread. I zero'd out the first 1MB of data on both disks. stuck them both back to the same previous enclosure/motherboard and the motherboard passes POST. The problem is a "BIOS Bug" and this thread can be closed. I...

    ZFS preventing POST

    Seems to be a common thread I'm gonna go ahead and try (keyword!) to get the MBRs zero'd out then. This is less than good because I have no hot-pluggable equipment. Gonna have to try to figure out how to get 'em zero'd. EDIT: I have the drives zero'd out now. I used a different model of...

    Best blade server for running high performance FreeBSD

    Supermicro is hit-n-miss from the Googling I've done. iXsystems use only supermicro, but supermicro is a form factor that is nonstandard. That means that if you buy a supermicro motherboard, you need a supermicro enclosure/case. You should have better success than what Google gives you...

    ZFS preventing POST

    No hard drive -- it passes and moves on just fine. Bootable CD/USB/DVD - won't get that far. It probes CPU and memory, skips a line like it normally does, and the HDD's are setup to "auto" in the BIOS to autodetect. This autodetection stalls/freezes the computer. I've got the disks...

    Best blade server for running high performance FreeBSD

    No personal experience with either of the following mentions. I have always enjoyed IBM hardware with OSS software. Seems very well mixed. (iXsystems comes to mind too, but they're pretty spendy) I work for HP, and you have to run pretty bleeding-edge to get compatible hardware. HBAs for...

    FreeBSD server like a Mac mini

    Thanks for this post. I was going to do the same. My goal is to use it as a HTPC. What kind of noise / DVD rom did you get for it? Thanks...

    ZFS preventing POST

    My board is a cheap Biostar board. It's a basic board that boots anything (given HDD is "good"). I've downloaded the latest BIOS and will apply and test if there is any difference. Sorry for the delayed response.

    ZFS preventing POST

    it's a desktop PC, not server class in any shape. I left it for hours, and with no further progress (or timeouts). This is partly why i'm calling it locked up. the other is that a momentary push of power doesn't power down the box (soft-off) I thought about the possibility it was due to 1...

    ZFS preventing POST

    Hi guys, I've not a whole lot of experience with ZFS. I did a search and dburke came back with as close as I can get. I did a zfsroot install as documented here. Since I had both ad0 and ad1 as identical IDE 10G drives (test drives), I followed the above RootOnZFS link on both disks...
