USB image won't boot after resize

M

mike99

I want to do a headless install on PC Engine APU but since there is no space left on the USB stick after writing with dd to the USB stick, I must resize the partition to be able to add loader.conf to the USB stick.

So, I use gpart and growfs to resize the USB stick to 8 GB.

gpart resize -i 1 -a 4k -s 8G da0
growfs -s 8G /dev/da0a

But the stick won't boot anymore. I must specify the partition to mount at boot.

ufs:/dev/da0a

Can anywone explain me how to fix the boot of the USB stick without changing the stick's fstab to /dev/da0a?

Thanks
 
Just encounter the same problem and remembered about I already started a thread about this on the forum. The label seem fine after growfs.

After growfs:
Code: 
tunefs -p /dev/da0a
tunefs: POSIX.1e ACLs: (-a)                                disabled

tunefs: soft updates: (-n)                                 disabled

tunefs: minimum percentage of free space: (-m)             8%
tunefs: space to hold for metadata blocks: (-k)            0

tunefs: volume label: (-L)                                 FreeBSD_Install

Before growfs:
Code: 
tunefs -p /dev/da0a
tunefs: POSIX.1e ACLs: (-a)                                disabled
tunefs: NFSv4 ACLs: (-N)                                   disabled
tunefs: MAC multilabel: (-l)                               disabled
tunefs: soft updates: (-n)                                 disabled
tunefs: soft update journaling: (-j)                       disabled
tunefs: gjournal: (-J)                                     disabled
tunefs: trim: (-t)                                         disabled
tunefs: maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group: (-e)  2048
tunefs: average file size: (-f)                            16384

tunefs: volume label: (-L)                                 FreeBSD_Install

The error I get is
Code: 
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/usf/FreeBSD_Install [ro,noatime]
mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install
Mounting from ufs:/dev/usf/FreeBSD_Install failed with error 19

Loder variables:
  vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install
  vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro,noatime

Even after booting via
Code: 
mountroot> ufs:/dev/da0a

If I check with tunefs, the label still seem fine.
 
After growfs:
gpart recover da0
Code: 
da0 recovering is not needed

I have already try growfs without explicit size and also gpart without the -a 4k option.
 
Seem like glabel info is missing for da0 while using glabel status after resizing disk. I'm testing it right now and will write back tomorrow if it's work.
 
Before growing partition:


Code: 
glabel status
                                      Name  Status  Components
gptid/f2a15f25-d033-11e5-b1ee-90e2ba1f75c0     N/A  ada0p1
              diskid/DISK-070D5836C00C7814     N/A  da0
                    ufsid/55cb6aa66b8b4567     N/A  da0a
                       ufs/FreeBSD_Install     N/A  da0a
After growing partition:

Code: 
glabel status
                                    Name  Status  Components
gptid/f2a15f25-d033-11e5-b1ee-90e2ba1f75c0     N/A  ada0p1
              diskid/DISK-070D5836C00C7814     N/A  da0

Now, I reading glabel man page but can't find a way to set ufs/ or ufsid/ before the name of the device, even less both at the same time


Code: 
glabel label FreeBSD_Install da0a
glabel status
                                      Name  Status  Components
gptid/f2a15f25-d033-11e5-b1ee-90e2ba1f75c0     N/A  ada0p1
              diskid/DISK-070D5836C00C7814     N/A  da0
                     label/FreeBSD_Install     N/A  da0a

Code: 
glabel label ufs/FreeBSD_Install da0a
glabel status
                                      Name  Status  Components
gptid/f2a15f25-d033-11e5-b1ee-90e2ba1f75c0     N/A  ada0p1
              diskid/DISK-070D5836C00C7814     N/A  da0
                     label/ufs/FreeBSD_Ins     N/A  da0a

Anybody know how to set ufs and ufsid label name ?

Thanks

Edit: It's clear in glabel doc that those are configured via tunefs. I will continue to search in tunefs man page.

Edit2: I misread, automatic label are set via glabel but I don't see on man page how to set ufs and ufsid label.
 
When filesystems or partitions have built-in labels, it is used automatically. Editing those labels is done with whatever specific utility set them in the first place.

Do not use glabel(8) on existing filesystems. It will overwrite the last block of them and create a new device.
