FreeBSD 9 and rc.conf

Hi,

I upgraded to 9 stable yesterday (from 8 stable). It seems my rc.conf is skipped for some parts. E.g.: the em0 interface gets the right IP address but the defaultrouter entry is skipped (no default gateway is added).

rc.conf has the record
Code:
syslogd_enable="YES"
but no syslogd is started after restart.

Could I have missed something during the upgrade?

Edit: problems seems to be the
Code:
zfs_enable="YES"
When commenting it out. the syslogd en defaultrouter seem to work just fine.

Error with zfs_enable is:
Code:
syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address" exited with rc 1
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable.
Can I add some kind of delay to the zfs script?

How did you upgrade? If you used the source way (building world), did you run mergemaster(8)?

Yeah I did follow UPDATING.
The problems is, as far as I can tell, the right sequence.
1. the filesystems (root, critical, zfs) gets mounted. This take some time due to the number of fs in zfs.
2. the network interfaces waits till step 1 is done. But before netif is up syslogd and route tries to do their thing which fails.
 
Try this trick that makes the rc(8) scripts that depend on network wait until the DHCP negotiation has really finished:

Code:
ifconfig_ifn="SYNCDHCP"

Where ifn is the name of the network interface.

Even with interfaces with fixed ip address?
 
Netwait didn't do much. still the same problem.

Btw the /usr/local is a ZFS fs.

I got a working rc.d now:

/etc/rc.d/FILESYSTEMS
Removed the REQUIRE: zfs

/etc/rc.d/zfs
Added # REQUIRE: NETWORKING

copy of /etc/rc.d/ldconfig -> /etc/rc.d/ldconfig.zfs
added # REQUIRE: zfs

to rescan the /usr/local/lib to fix lib issues


It's not pretty but it does the job.
 
Is ada4s1 a UFS2 partition that you are booting from?

I suspect that there is something wrong there, could you also please post the output of:

[CMD=""]#gpart show [/CMD]

Just saw this now:

Code:
atapci3: <Promise [url=http://www.aisecure.net/2011/07/07/promise-pdc40718-sata300-junk/]PDC40718[/URL] SATA300 controller>

How is this controller being used ?
 
SirDice said:
ZFS doesn't require networking to be active.

I know but it does fix the problem. Zfs mount will wait until all the networkstuff is done.
It does break starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d though :/

the motherboard has 4 sata's where the 4 samsung (zfs storage) disk are on. I bought a simple sata controller (ada4) to boot from.

It's a disk with ufs to boot from and the rest (p2) is zfs which has the /usr/local fs.

I have done so much troubleshooting on that controller. Spoken with so many people over the mailing lists and not only. Their recommendation was toss it.

The only thing that might work for you is trying to change different SATA ports on that controller. Of course this would require you to perform changes in your fstab.

BTW like SirDice said, networking is not a requirement for ZFS. My (wild) guess is that the controller freaks out when the system is mounting the other DISKS, falsely reporting that the root fs has been mounted, thus your other services start coming up.
 
I changed the rc.d file back to the original state. I copied routing and syslogd and rerun them a second time.
