So we use gnop when creating a vdev to make sure zfs writes in 4K blocks, but once this is done, that's it? So using -b 4096 with GPT and gnop is enough for alignment? Sorry, just wanted to make sure I understand this fully :)

Ok, so why is it that you don't need to create the gnop device every time? Most of the walkthroughs I've seen only seem to require it to be created once?

Your other option would be to use kjb's patches with mesa xorg and recompile...although hopefully his work will get merged into stable/9 soon as I too am very much looking forward to using something other than vesa drivers on my dell laptop

Within a jail? I think you'll need one or both of the below sysctls set security.jail.allow_raw_sockets: 1 security.jail.sysvipc_allowed: 1 In answer to the previous post, I actually use jails a lot, but went down the route of using zfs snapshots of the base OS to keep the jails up to date...

If your array contained a mix of 512 and 4K drives, will it do any harm to align everything as 4K? I'm assuming not, as the 512 ones won't care either way? In terms of aligning them, is it effectively sufficient to make sure that the gpt partitions are on 4k boundaries? I'm not clear why using...

Thanks for that, it did seem to mount correctly. I suppose the only way forward is to create a new pool and copy the data across to that. How can I (e.g. by using or another command) work out what is happening with this pool? I'd like to understand the problem so that I can avoid it happening...

I'm using release/9 (zfs v5, zpool v28) with a single zpool with three filesystems. I can manually mount two of them with no problem, but trying to mount the third one just causes the system to hang (ctrl+t responds though). I can't snapshot the third filesystem, nor can I add L2ARC or ZIL...

Well the way I do it is to use ZFS (for the root filesystem and all data) and just create daily recursive snapshots of the base filesystem, and send them to your backup drive. In order to restore, you'd just run `zfs recv` on a clean disk and that'd restore your OS. The only other thing you'd...

Recurring problem with ZFS and heavy disk IO [Not quite solved] This problem has occured again; the symptoms are that under very heavy disk io, the system just seems to hang. By 'heavy io', I mean resilvering 3 disks and performing about 90 rm's in different directories, within the same...

[Solved] Eventually managed to fix this by leaving the rogue filesystem umounted, created a snapshot, cloned it, promoted the clone and destroyed the original. Would still be interested in why this happened as its never happened before and will cause problems if it happens again, but that...

Hi all, I have a freebsd FreeBSD backup system with several disks in a ZFS "mirrored stripe". I was causing a lot of disk io on one of the filesystems which seemd to cause the system to hang (by "a lot", I mean about 150 rm's concurrently in different parts which its coped with before). By...

I just tried unloading the sound.ko and snd_hda.ko modules and reloading them; I now get the following in dmesg: hdac0: detached hdac0: <Intel 82801I High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xb77a4000-0xb77a7fff at device 27.0 on pci0 hdac0: HDA Driver Revision: 20090624_0136 hdac0: [ITHREAD]...

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could offer any advice regarding the onboard sound card in a Toshiba Tecra M10-17H laptop running FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE. Among others, the following modules are loaded: # kldstat 13 1 0xc8574000 19000 snd_hda.ko 14 1 0xc858d000 3f000 sound.ko #...
