raidz1

I see this message when booting up the server, right before the "boot:" prompt. The system boots successfully, and operates like normal, but this worries me that if something happens maybe it will bite me in the behind. Any idea what does it mean and how to correct it? For the first time, I...

Issue Description Booting a ZFS root using gptzfsboot or loader.efi from either 14.3-STABLE or 15.0-PRERELEASE fails with: ZFS: unsupported feature: org.openzfs:raidz_expansion Background I wanted to expand the raidz1 zpool where the root volume is, on 14.3-STABLE: - installed the openzfs...

Hi All. I did a FreeBSD 14.2 auto partitioning installation on a 6-disk z-root in raidz1. During the installation I checked the 4K checkbox. I ended up with the following result: zpool get ashift poolname all-vdevs NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE root-0 ashift 0 - raidz1-0 ashift 12 - ada0p3 ashift...

Hi! First of all, I am complete newbie in FreeBSD. I would like to install FreeBSD on ZFS. Modern installer have everything to install FreeBSD on ZFS without any problems, but I have a one "Ideafix", if you know what I mean. I want to remove Boot and Swap partitions from ZFS pool(RAIDZ1) and...

I run an old HP N40L XigmaNAS box with a RAIDZ1 consisting of 3 WD Red 4TB drives. The ada1 drive showed some SMART errors, so I decided to replace that drive. Setting the drive offline, the pool showed the status "DEGRADED" as expected. But after shutting down the system and replacing that...

In my home PC, one of my two HDD that I have in (btrfs) RAID 0 failed. So, I am shopping for the replacement. I am planning to install FreeBSD (zfs) and set up RAIDZ (buying 3 SSDs). Now, I am reading everywhere that mirroring 2 disks (1 vdev per disk) is faster than RAIDz1 with 3 disks. And it...

I've tried some basic searches for this. I haven't found a concrete answer. What I want to be able to do is do a base install as RAIDZ1 then drop another identical drive in and convert or resilver the array to a RAIDZ2. Feasible or fool's journey? If it's feasible; how do you do it? ZFS...

Hi I am a Data Recovery engineer and this is my first post here and also the first time I work on raidz, I got a customer needs to recover data from damaged NAS storage with 36 hard drives. I have a good experience recovering data from Other types of raid like 5, 10 etc, but this is my first...

Fresh install, Encrypted raidz, 5 disks. Boot fails at error: zfs i/o error - all block copies unavailable What could cause this? I've reinstalled several times and same fault every time. FreeBSD has worked before with this same computer. Booted up with Ubuntu-live and disks seems to be OK.

I'm trying to create encrypted raidz, but how? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-an-encrypted-zfs-pool-with-digitalocean-block-storage-on-freebsd If I understand correctly, I need to encrypt every disk before creating zpool, like this: % sudo gpart add -t...

I would like to replace all 3 spinning drives of a raidz pool with (smaller) SSDs: the smaller SSDs will still be more than adequate for my storage needs, and should be significantly faster. The system has a limited number of SATA ports (4): 1 is in use for the system drive (which is already an...
