ufs

Dear friends, I am migrating from Debian GNU/Linux to FreeBSD. I could be using KfreeBSD, but I prefer blending-edge and also become part of a community, so I will not stick to Debian, although I appreciate the spirit. The server board has 32 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, 1 x SSD and 5 x SATA disc...

Hi all, I'm a FreeBSD newbie. I did a foolish thing and resized my root UFS partition using growfs in single-user mode. Now every time I boot, it says: "Starting filesystem checks: /dev/ada0s1a: CANNOT READ BLK: 29497600 /dev/ada0s1a: UNEXPECTED CONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file...

Today I upgraded my system to 10.3-STABLE r319937 successfully. It's installed on UFS with GELI. When I double-click a VM in virtualbox, the system reboots because of a kernel panic. After autofsck, the login prompt shows, but the system reboots again while I input my login imformation and...

So I have run out of room on my FreeBSD 11.x VM. Here is my partition layout: df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0p2 ufs 4.8G 323M 4.1G 7% / devfs devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev...

I am finally migrating from Ubuntu Linux to FreeBSD! I recently removed Ubuntu 16 and installed FreeBSD 11 in its place. I have close to 3tb of data on an ext4 external HDD. My goal is to copy all of its files to my UFS drive. My Attempt: I mounted both the ext4 drive (with ext4fuse) and the...

I've run 'tunefs -m 0' and 'tunefs -o space' on my UFS hard drive, however I haven't seen any reclaimed space. The changes wrote successfully. It's a 4TB drive so I expect 3.725 TB but I'm getting 3.52 TB. Any thoughts?

Hi all This is the first time I could not resolve an issue by checking the information that is somewhere in forums or handbooks, so I really hope for your help on this: I have a hardware machine that runs release 11p6. The filesystem is ZFS on two SSDs in mirror mode. On this machine I have 4...

Hi everyone, I'm puzzled on an issue, which I've had before but this time I am really puzzled. I have upgraded my FreeBSD 10.3 machine to 11 and everything seems to be working perfectly. However I am seeing lots of this error in /var/log/messages. inumber .. on /var: filesystem full I have...

I was trying to dual boot both FreeBSD 10.3 and OpenBSD 6.0 on my machine by installing the two OS's to different disks and selecting the disk I wanted in the bios. This was successful until I mounted the FreeBSD disk within OpenBSD (and neglected to add a readonly option). The FreeBSD system no...

At work I have a 10.3/AMD64 system that currently has root on a UFS2 file system on a single disk, and I'd like to ultimately move it to ZFS on mirrored disks. However, as I'd like to use the existing disk as one of the two mirror disks, my first step was to clone the contents of the current...

Currently I have the following: # mount space/ROOT/default on / (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) /dev/da0p1 on /ssd (ufs, local, noatime, noexec, soft-updates) space on /space (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls) space/tmp on /tmp (zfs, local, noatime...

Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 10.3 on my old desktop (HP XW6600). As far as I know this motherboard for this desktop doesn't support booting from USB with GPT partition (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Before I perform the actual deployment to this desktop, I'm using Virtualbox. My...

Hello there, just started to explore encryption in FreeBSD and got some questions. Trying to add encrypted partition on FreeBSD10.3 GELI/Blowfish-CBC. AES on / and /swap works fine, but I can't add an additional encrypted partition using Blowfish. Here is the way I did it: # mount -o exec...

Hello, I recently began noticing that df -h hangs on my Freebsd 8.2 server. I need the output of this command to know current partitions and its sizes. Usually I do a reboot and everything comes back to normal. But I've done this a number of times now and am beginning to suspect there's an...

I want to know if FreeBSD / ZFS or UFS send a flag to lower level drivers regarding File System metadata in fashion similar to Linux where the ext3/4, jfs and other file systems use the REQ_RW_META and BIO_RW_META flags in struct request and struct bio structures respectively to tell lower...

Hi, I've been experimenting with formatting md memory disks with ZFS, the main idea being that I could use compression for more space over the usual UFS md. I'm just wondering if there are any caveats with this, is it a bad idea? So for example with: mdconfig -s 4g -u md1 zpool create -o...

Greetings everyone, I already submitted a bug report for this, (205932) but thought I'd post here anyway. After a fresh, clean install of FreeBSD 10.2 amd64 on modern hardware, before installing any ports or packages, I mounted an ext4 partition read-only from device ada1 on /mnt/adisk on my...

I want to use dump and restore. But I think I don't understand well something. I ran dump -0 -C16 -Laf /home/backup/hdd/dumps/ssdhome.dump /dev/gpt/ssd-home - after ls in restore -f /home/backup/hdd/dumps/ssdhome.dump -i - it's okay. Incremental dump after some seconds: dump -1 -C16 -Laf...

I'm backing up files from a broken down system using a memstick and an additional harddrive. - Three disks in a ZFS raidz pool which I've. - One disk with a fresh UFS filesystem used for backing up files. I'm using rsync -avz on a FreeBSD live CD for copying files to the UFS filesystem, but...
