Hello!
I've had a little mishap :oops:
So far nothing bad happened.
The initial situation:
I have the following hard drives installed in my PC.
2 TB NVMe (EFI boot partition and the rest Windows)
1 TB NVMe (NTFS formatted, data grave)
2 TB SATA SSD (FreeBSD-ZFS and FreeBSD-Swap)
1 TB SATA SSD...
I use ZFS snapshots and mirroring (both on a harddrive that is permanently connected and on harddrives that aren't always connected) as a means of keeping backups of my data.
Using the snapshots, I can go back in time if I accidentally delete files or something else happened to my data on the...
14.0 shipped with ZFS 2.2 and block cloning disabled (behind a sysctl). ZFS 2.2.1 was just released with the same (default to disabled) change, due to corruption issues people are running into.
It appears there is still a bug that can be hit with some combination of sysctls. I would recommend...

Dear Everyone,
The release notes for 14.0-RELEASE state, "After a system upgrade, but before doing a zpool upgrade, the boot loader on the ESP must be updated, or the system may become unbootable." My question, in great brevity, is, "How?" (when the system is purely UEFI GPT)
Having looked at...
Hello there. Just upgraded from 13.2 to 14.0 RELEASE, via freebsd-update tool.
I guess I manually need to execute command for ZFS update/upgrade, after FreeBSD upgrade from 13.2 to 14, right?
I'd like to be careful on this step because this is a remote dedicated server with no physical access...
In /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, there's this part about periodic ZFS scrubs:
# 800.scrub-zfs
daily_scrub_zfs_enable="NO"
daily_scrub_zfs_pools="" # empty string selects all pools
daily_scrub_zfs_default_threshold="35" # days between scrubs...
In /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, there's this part about daily ZFS backups:
# 223.backup-zfs
daily_backup_zfs_enable="NO" # Backup output from zpool/zfs list
daily_backup_zfs_props_enable="NO" # Backup zpool/zfs filesystem properties...
Hello,
I'm trying to create a FreeBSD/Windows dual-boot setup on one of my machines (I know, I know, but I need Windows for certain tasks at my job). I have done this before by installing Windows first, leaving some free space, and then creating zfs-root and zfs-swap slices/datasets by hand in...
Hello to all,
unfortunately I'm facing infamous messages when booting, when I'm trying to recover friend's NAS, which I installed last year.
zio_read error: 5
ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable
ZFS can't read MOS of pool zroot
It seems, it reaches up to stage 2, but gptzfsboot...
For various reasons including regulatory compliance, I would like to have a Write Once, Read Many (WORM) storage partition and wanted to know if ZFS can enable this.
With the release 14.0, I plan to switch to FreeBSD as my main OS.
Unfortunately, some of the programs I use work only on Linux, so I will still have to boot to Linux from time to time.
I am wondering how to structure my storage.
In my notebook, I can place 4 disks in total, 3 SSDs (2 NVMe M.2 +...
Hi,
Is there any way to verify that my native encryption ZFS datasets are benefiting from CPU AES-NI support? I can't see anything in dmesg regarding CPU capabilities, though installed processor is Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 v4 which supports AES-NI instructions.
Thanks

Hi! I have a problem with resuming, after one more upgrade to newer sources.

I have a 13.2-RELEASE-p4 machine with four hard drives. They are all partitioned just like this one:

Hey folks,
I've stumbled upon a strange issue on my server concerning a discrepancy in 'used' space between two ZFS volumes after a ZFS send/receive operation. I transferred data from basia-ssd/vm-118-disk-0 to basia-nvme/vm-118-disk-0. Initially, the source volume basia-ssd/vm-118-disk-0...
I must destroy and recreate a ZFS pool. Please don't ask me why; it's a long story.
The pool contains just one volume, named "depo".
Of course, I had to back up the whole volume. Since ZFS replication won't work (long story...), I decided to mount two NTFS-formatted (ada0 and da0) drives and...
I have been testing my setup on an Oracle Virtual Box, Virtual Machine Manager, and VMware with EFI turned on. I have continued FreeBSD setup up to the Partitioning step, then selected shell and entered the following,
# sysctl kern.disks
# gpart destroy -F ada0
# gpart create -s gpt ada0

My goal was to install FreeBSD with GELI and ZFS alongside of currently installed Windows 10. I am testing it on an Oracle Virtual Box with EFI turned on. I have continued FreeBSD setup up to the Partitioning step, then selected shell and entered the following,
gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s...
