DL360 G6 Reboot
On a HP DL360 G6 freebsd 6.4-RELEASE installs but reboots right before login prompt. 7.2 installs and works fine but unfortunately I can not use 7.2 due to some restrictions. Any hints? -- Best regards.

Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? In my opinion you are best off using glabel(8) to give names to the disks. This way you can name them in a way that makes sense to you. Additionally, when you create the ZFS pool you will use the glabel'd names. This means that the pool will still come up properly if something causes your devices to be numbered differently (i.e. a drive dies and you happen to reboot the system). I believe ZFS does this automatically. Supposedly, if you take a working set of RAIDZ drives from one machine and put it in another, ZFS will figure out the drives since they get labelled by ZFS internally. My question concerns how to identify the physical disk in question based on the adX or glabel name? Different name in software is fine, but if the drive fails I want to make sure I pull the correct drive. This is possible, but I don't remember reading that ZFS handles this anywhere, and I've seen glabel(8) recommended elsewhere for the same reason. Either way, you can add your drives one-by-one and label them on the enclosure arraydrive00 and then glabel the individual disks with the same name. This way when ZFS tells you arraydrive03 is dead/offline, you can look at your enclosure and pull the drive with the arraydrive03 label. Depending on your controller it is also probably worth it to use one of the SATA-specific drivers in FreeBSD 8 - these are ones like ahci(4) and siis(4). While the generic ata(4) driver will work for pretty much everything, the updated AHCI drivers can take advantage of some more features. Enable the modules at boot to use them. I will look into it, thanks. The machine in question is 2 year old hardware currently with a 3ware raid card. I will be going software raid only, but FreeBSD already recognizes the eSATA drive I have attached as a backup device so I know the O/S can at least talk to sata drives attached to the mobo. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org One thing to note about resilvering; unlike most raid systems zfs knows what is going on at the filesystem level as well as block level. Therefore when a drive has to be resilvered, only the data on the drive is rebuilt rather than every block as with most other raid subsystems. eg if you have a 1TB hd but only have 20 Gig of data, only 20 gig is copied/rebuilt rather than 1 TB of data if you were using gvinum/gmirror. This massively speeds up rebuild times and stress on the other drives. However the fuller the drive the less the benefits ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The DSUB mode just give a bunch of horizontal bars. It's a faabulous display, I must say. The resolution is superb, contrast is highest Ièm seen on any display.

Re: 7.x on Dell R900?
Le 03/11/2009 à 16:39:25-0800, Matt Szubrycht a écrit Hello List, I cannot find any fresh information on compatibility of Dell PowerEdge R900 and FreeBSD after googling for several hours, so I decided to ask here. If this is not the right place, please redirect me to. All of our servers run FreeBSD with one exception - a CentOS machine, which adds to the overall maintenance workload and keeping up to date. Back in the day, after getting the R900 (without prior OS compatibility research), the word was that FreeBSD will not run on this hardware and we ended up installing CentOS. That was well over a year ago and I am wondering if anyone could share some insight into the current compatibility status, installation/operation pitfalls and any other tips that would allow me to get away from Linux on this R900 box and create a homogeneous server-space environment with FreeBSD 7.x. Can you specify what don't work ? What's the problem. Regards. -- Albert SHIH SIO batiment 15 Observatoire de Paris Meudon 5 Place Jules Janssen 92195 Meudon Cedex Téléphone : 01 45 07 76 26/06 86 69 95 71 Heure local/Local time: Mer 4 nov 2009 16:23:57 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

ipfw breaking smtp conversations
Hi List, I'm having trouble with mail deliveries. I'm getting lots of error messages like: timeout writing message to mx3.comcast.net.: Broken pipe timeout writing message to mailserver2.telmex.net.co.: Resource temporarily unavailable After looking elsewhere I decided to try changing my ipfw.rules - the problems went away immediately. Unfortunately, the change caused http connections from outside to stall mid-conversation. So I changed it back. But I'm clearly doing something wrong.

conky is still working ok...but the calendar is limping...
rather strange
here's the .conkyrc:
snip...
${color green}CALENDAR ${hr 2}$color
#${execi 300 ~/bin/calendar.sh}
${execi 300 cal | awk 'NR1' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] / /g'
-e 's/..*/ /' -e s/\ `date +%d`/\[`date +%d`\]/}
output should be: 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 etc.
is:1 2 3 4 5 6
the calendar.sh is exactly:
#!/bin/sh
cal | awk 'NR1' | sed -e 's/ //g' -e 's/[^ ] / /g' -e 's/..*/
/' -e s/\ `date +%d`/\[`date +%d`\]/
I upgraded ports and now the calendar.sh cannot be found - it exists;
bash no longer wishes to execute or recognize it...
I am puzzled as to what is going on? I seem to be chasing after gremlins
... again ... and again..
like, even firefox can't be upgraded on one system (identical) but can
on another... bugs gremlins... oooh, gadzooks!

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS non-zero checksum and permanent error with deleted file
Thank you very much for your reply! :-) Trevor Pretty schrieb: Steven I had a similar problem back in 2006 when I was first playing with ZFS. Jeff Bronwick sent me this. It may (or not) help.

Re: need help with nvidia drivers
I fixed by using the following method. Opened the properties and set the screen resolution. Opened firefox and downloaded the old xorg.conf I sent you earlier. Logged out and then back in as root. Used kate to copy the screen layout from the downloaded file to the active xorg.conf file. Saved and restarted x. Believe it or not, I did need you to walk me through the process. There were quite a few things I wasn't able to notice on my own. Thanks a lot and all that. --- On Thu, 11/5/09, Daniel C. Dowse dcdo...@gmx.net wrote: From: Daniel C.

Bob Friesenhahn schrieb: On Thu, 5 Nov 2009, Steven Samuel Cole wrote: Definitely do zpool scrub zpool01 to see if there is any other decay. I have done that prior to getting the status, several times actually, tried to indicate that in my OP. IIRC, all checksums are zero after clearing; after scrubbing, the total checksum goes back up to 4. The error is not cleared, though. Strange. I do recall that there was one OpenSolaris development release which did produce spurious checksum errors which looked weird like that. Hopefully you are not using that particular release. I am using ZFS as it comes with the official FreeBSD 7.2 64bit, no patches, no dev releases, all binary out of the box, nothing self-built. IIRC, that's ZFS version 6. Your 'zpool status' output did not indicate that a scrub was done. You are correct, my mistake. I reproduced the 3 zpool command lines in my OP from memory. I have gone through many clear/scrub/status, export/import, wash/rinse/repeat cycles now, the 'last scrub' info must have gone lost in one of them. A scrub on that pool takes ~8 hours, so I refrained from running it again just for demonstration purposes. Hmmm. Just as I want to double-check, I get this: [u...@host ~]$ sudo zpool history History for 'zpool01': 2008-05-31.22:16:22 zpool create -m /mnt/zpool01 zpool01 raidz1 ad12 ad14 ad16 ad18 2008-12-28.15:06:54 zpool import zpool01 2008-12-28.18:37:42 zpool export zpool01 2008-12-28.18:51:39 zpool import zpool01 2009-01-05.17:31:51 zpool export zpool01 2009-01-05.19:55:27 zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id zpool01 2009-08-25.00:50:31 zpool clear zpool01 Assertion failed: ((null)), function nvlist_lookup_string(records[i], ZPOOL_HIST_CMD, cmdstr) == 0, file /usr/src/cddl/sbin/zpool/../../../cddl/contrib/opensolaris/cmd/zpool/zpool_main.c, line 3338.
