Hey there, So, I got smartmontools all setup, even configured periodic to send me daily reports, but smartd isn't logging anything locally. According to the man page, it's supposed to poll every 30 minutes and by default log to the daemon facility of syslog. What's unlcear, is if I...

So, as it turns out, the reason that hastd does not fail the resource for the configured hard disk on the primary host is that the secondary hast resource on the remote host immediately begins servicing requests upon a disk failure on the primary. I found that I needed to think of the local and...

I'm thinking that perhaps some sort of devd handler might help with this. I noticed in the devd.conf that there are handlers for some zfs events and of course, when I unplug/plug a drive, that generates and event too. But what system/subsystem/matches to configure it for? I've looked around...

So, I'm doing some failure testing, this is the first time I thought of just pulling out a drive to see what happens with the HAST/ZFS configuration. There's something quite unfortunate: when a drive goes offline (like by pulling it out) HAST doesn't do anything, the HAST device stays up, so...

I'm running into an odd thing. Using HAST between two nodes, works fine. I export my zpool on node1, switch HAST roles so that node2 is the primary, then import the zpool. When I check my zpool status, it shows that the hot spare is unavailable. First Node, current master: nas1# zpool add...

Well, the performance problem seems to have abated after a couple reboots. I now get the same performance (~40MB/s to-from, not bad for a single disk) whether I use carp0 over lagg0 or just lagg0. So I don't know what that deal was, but it is working as it should it seems. I still can't set MTU...

I'm getting really crappy performance over my carp interface and I think the culprit is mismatched mtu between carp0 and lagg0. If I do a transfer test using lagg0 directly, I get upwards of 70MB/s. If I do the same with carp0, I get about 1MB/s transfer rate. Here's my config info: Routing...

IT WORKS! A this point, I'm not exactly sure what was wrong. There are three things that needed to get sorted though: 1. Set lagg0 and em0 on separate subnets. This ensured that both were listed in the routing table, thus one being up or down or misconfigured didn't affect the other...

Wow! That's an interesting little tool. Thanks for turning me on to that. I'm implementing network multipathing though, never even considered that the concept could apply to disks too. Yeah, I believe Vmware's virtual switch implementation is its weakest link. Xen Server (or XCP) is much more...

Well, maybe not "broken" per se, but does seem like a design flaw. I mean, I just don't see any good reason not to be able to do such a simple thing as have multiple devs on the same network. But this isn't Linux or Windows, so sometimes one just has to accept the nature of the beast, I reckon...

I was just checking my real switch. Yes it supports LACP. I enabled it on the ports that are plugged in, but no joy, not one ping response. Funny, even though the Vmware vswitch doesn't really support it, I can still ping the test box and get in. I don't think that I've tried roundrobin or...

You're trying to tell me that I can't have multiple intefaces on the same network at the same time? Can you show me in any man page or the FreeBSD handbook or anywhere it states this? Really? I'm having a very hard time believing that BSD would be incapable of something so trivial :( And here I...

I tested this multilink setup on another BSD box which all use the em driver. No LAGG, no CARP, just 3 physical interfaces all connected to the same network. Here's relavent rc.conf info: ifconfig_em0="inet 10.2.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0" ifconfig_em1="inet 10.2.1.2 netmask 255.255.0.0"...

At the most basic, having 3 interfaces, 3 distinct MAC and IP addys allows MPIO as well as access to the system should any of the 3 fail, even without LAGG or CARP. If you're right, and I can't add the others to the routing table, meaning if one fails, they all fail, then something is VERY...

Hey guys, I found a few posts about CARP and LAGG, everyone seems to be having issues and I haven't found any good working examples. So, I thought I'd start a new thread. Anyway, I have HAST/CARP/iSCSI SAN setup, it works flawlessly. Now I just stuck in a couple new NICs and want to get some...

Hey all, Having a bit of an issue getting a NIC to work. It's a Sun card, uses the CAS drivers. When the driver loads, the system hangs with error: cas0: attaching PHYs failed Does the same thing whether I load the driver as a module or compile it into the kernel. I assumed there may be a...

sync broken Well, I just updated to the lastest source in 8-STABLE as of 06/08 and HAST replication is broken, more or less. Here's the setup: 1. from a "working" hast primary/secondary system 2. stop hastd on the secondary (change role to init) 3. let primary crank along and accumulate dirty...

Well, I got 8-STABLE running and no more problems with hast, woohoo! I'm really surprised more people haven't encountered this problem, but I guess folks experimenting with it are probably tracking STABLE anyway. I have yet to really hammer on it, but not crashing is a good start :e...

As another fellow user was experiencing in this thread, pressing "m" drops me to a "%" prompt and at that point, I'm at a loss for what to do. I ended up with blank passwd and group files. I'm fine with editing stuff by hand, but this merging stuff and using pwd_mkdb is kind of new for me...

The second time around, that's exactly what I did. I checked the files, then I ran /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd After that, my passwd and group files were replaced and my custom users and groups (just me right now, so no biggy) were gone.
