zpool

I did freebsd-update from 11.1 to 11.2-RELEASE, but I did not have enough disk space and "freebsd-update install" stage failed (No disk space error) - so my system is screwed. I booted from FreeBSD 11.1 install ISO (LiveCD) and I thought I would rollback the ZFS snapshots on the zroot pool and...

I have a pool on a system that can only be imported as read-only (it has a feature flag enabled that FreeBSD doesn't support). However, I'd ultimately like to destroy it and recreate it under FreeBSD, but whenever you zpool destroy a read-only pool it acts like you've exported it, not destroyed...

Dear community, I'd like to kindly ask you for a little help in my situation: I'm running a ZFS pool of 3 drives. What happened is - a power cable powering 2 drives had a bad contact, so I started loosing 2 out of 3 drives and having a lot of UDMA errors and CAM status timeouts etc. Yesterday...

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...

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...

Hello, Today I upgraded my FreeBSD 11-STABLE to recent version r322164. After that I cannot boot from my pool: Booting from Hard Disk... ZFS: unsuported feature: org.illumos.sha512 ZFS: pool zironroot is not supported gptzfsboot: failed to mount default pool zironroot FreeBSD/x86 boot Default...

When I run command pkg update on FreeBSD 11.0 I'm getting this error: [srv]# pkg update Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-FreeBSD.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory Fetching meta.txz: 100% 944 B 0.9kB/s...

I have a single disk on my server. I simply went for ZFS "stripe" (no redundancy) when installing FreeBSD. zpool status prints the following: pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 ada0p4 ONLINE...

I recently reinstalled Proxmox VE and lost access to our storage system. When remounting the zpool, no data appears in the folder. zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 9.36G 98.2G 96K /rpool rpool/ROOT 876M 98.2G 96K...

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...

Greetings, I was reading a tutorial (now lost) that suggested adding a vesa="YES" directive to my loader.conf for one reason or another. Apparently, this was no good as the bad setting is preventing me from successfully booting into FreeBSD. What I would like to do is to use the LiveCD to...

So the last few days I had lots of trouble trying to set up my host as a domain member with samba4, eventually I gave up and tried to run it as a standalone server. But even then, I would get "Permission denied" or "Access denied" both on my MacBook and Windows 10 PC. I have set up a ZFS...

Hello everybody I am currently building my first physical FreeBSD box which should soon replace my Synology NAS. I have put together all the pieces and was able to install FreeBSD just fine, but I have had some issues ever since I created the main storage pool where all the files are supposed...

Here is my zpool status: [root@suennas ~]# zpool status -v pool: NewVol state...

Followed this tutorial on my machine with four disk. shows following error File /boot/loader not found

I'm setting up a RAIDZ2 pool on a NAS I've built and I have one disk throwing the "GPT Invalid or corrupt" error. As I understand it, I can use ZFS on raw disks without partitioning and would prefer, if possible, to just remove the partition table on this disk (or all of my disks, for that...

Dear Members, I hope someone can help me with that. One of our servers ran out of disk space (yeah, booooh!), it was set up with zfs, one single disk (2TB). It ist part of a 5 node cluster cloud storage. By trying to expand the storage with a new disk, I screwed up the zpool boot loader and...

Hello, I was reading this post for fun - https://blogs.oracle.com/mmusante/entry/howto_replace_a_bad_disk ...and it made me curious to know if one has a simple two-disk zfs mirror set up, and: 1) one disk fails or is removed 2) while running on the one-disk degraded mirror, data errors get...
