(Wasn't really my choice, but this was a throw away test system and I didn't really...

Updating a mirrored zpool with larger disks, one at a time. Got about halfway through when the server unexpectedly rebooted (still unknown why, but that's beside the point). The device labels (/dev/daX) were reshuffled, but I'm manually assigning zfs labels so it shouldn't have been an...

First, a quick warning to beadm users: If you have upgraded to 14.0 and you boot from ZFS and you ran zpool upgrade on your root ZFS pool and you beadm activate a pre-14.0 snapshot then you may be in for some pain :'‑( How did I get here: My FreeBSD system uses UEFI, I boot from ZFS and I...

Hello. I have a problem installing FreeBSD 13.1. When partitioning the disk, I have the problem that you see in the photo. Invalid argument. I checked both on VM and on another disk. I tried to reinstall MBR, it didn't help. It's the same in gpart. Creating a part of any type does not work. I...

I have a 64GB GPT disk image file with multiple partitions. I shrank the last (and the largest) partition and now have a free space of 32GB at the end. Now I'd like to shrink the entire image file. If I simply run truncate -s 32g disk.img, gpart doesn't like it and reports "No such geometry"...

I'm trying to format my external disk with ZFS filesystem. I've search and found several guides using different tools. Since sysutils/gpart is used in handbook, it seems FreeBSD prefer it than other tools. So, I'd like to know what's the difference and I'd like to make sure the commands I used...

When gdisk(8) adds the first partition to a disk, it defaults to 1 M free space before the partition, for example: root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # gpart show da4 => 34 976773101 da4 GPT (466G) 34 2014 - free - (1.0M) 2048 976771087 1 freebsd-ufs...
