Guilmette wrote: Now, unfortunately, I have just been bitten by the evil... and apparently widely known (except to me)... ``You can't use dump(8) to dump a journaled filesystem with soft updates'' bug-a-boo. There are other tools you can use, for example tar or cpdup or rsync, as you've mentioned in the subject. tar I already knew about, but I think you will agree that it has lots of limitations that make it entirely inappropriate for mirroring an entire system. That's true. If your purpose is backup of data files, tar is a good tool, especially for cross-platform use. But if you need to deal with exceptional things like extended permissions, ACL, sparse files and such, you will quickly see its limits. On the other hand, it can be used for multi-volume savesets, but this is not your intention. This cpdup thing is entirely new to me. Thanks for mentioning it! I really never heard of it before, but I just now installed it from ports, and I'm perusing the man page. It's a little bit comparable to rsync and can also do things like only add (so you won't lose any files: if they are removed in source, they will be kept in backup). It also has limitations that rsync will not. It looks very promising. Too bad it doesn't properly handle sparse files, but oh well. That's just a very minor nit. (Does it properly handle everything else that rsync claims to be able to properly handle, e.g. ACLs, file attributes, etc., etc.?) That's something you should check with an example dataset you back up, restore, and compare. I've been using it for normal files successfully. The same problems that apply when dumping live systems can bite you using rsync, What problems are we talking about, in particular? The problems I'm refering to is the kind of _possible_ trouble you can get into when backing up files that keep changing. The ability to make a snapshot prior to starting the backup is a great help here (if you don't have the chance to unmount the partitions to backup). I can't imagine _how_ programs will react if they start reading a file, prepare sufficient space in some kind of TOC, then continue reading while the file grows... or if a file is being read which is removed during read... If you minimize the writing activity to the (still) _live_ data you're dealing with, that could be a benefit. I am guessing that if I use rsync, then I *won't* encounter this rather annoying issue/problem relating to UFS filesystems that have both soft updates and journaling enabled, correct? but support for this on file system level seems to be better in rsync than what dump does on block level. What exactly did you mean by this ? As mentioned above: Unexpected and unpredictable results, strange kinds of inconsistency, may they appear during backup or later on restore. If I use all of the following rsync options... -a,-H,-A, -X, and -S when trying to make my backups, and if I do whatever additional fiddling is necessary to insure that I separately copy over the MBR and boot loader also to my backup drive, then is there any reason that, in the event of a sudden meteor shower that takes out my primary disk drive while leaving my backup drive intact, I can't just unplug my old primary drive, plug in my (rsync-created) backup drive, reboot and be back in the sadddle again, almost immediately, and with -zero- problems? You would have to make sure _many_ things are consistent on the backup disk. Well, this is what I am getting at. This is/was the whole point of my post and my question. I want to know: What is that set of things, exactly? The backup disk (or failover disk, as I said) needs to be initialized properly prior to the first backup run: Make sure it's bootable. Depending on how you handle identification of the disk (by device name, by label or UFSID) and how you're going to boot from it (by selecting the failover disk in some post-BIOS/POST dialog or by swapping cables or bays), you should check it actually starts booting. Regarding terminology, that would make the disk a failover disk OK. Thank you. I will henceforth use that terminology. Just a suggestion from how you described you will be using the disk, which isn't what commonly (or mostly) is expressed by the term backup (also cf. archive which is something entirely different). The disk would need to have an initialized file system and a working boot mechanism, both things rsync does not deal with Check and check. I implicitly understood the former, and I explicitly mentioned the latter in my original post in this thread. But is there anything else, other than those two things (which, just as you say, are both clearly outside of the scope of what rsync does)?

The best laid plans of mice and men... I _had_ planned on using dump/restore and making backups from live mounted filesystems while the system was running. But I really don't want to have to take the system down to single-user mode every week for a few hours while I'm making my disk-to-disk backup. So now I'm looking at doing the backups using rsync. Yes, this should be possible... One thing that can bite you when using rsync to traverse copy large filesystems is that the filesystem may still be changing beneath rsync *as it's doing* the copy. If this is a UFS2 filesystem, it may be a good idea to snapshot the filesystem, and then rsync-backup the snapshot instead. ___ 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

Booting from an aribrary disk in ZFS RAIDZ on 8.x
Hello, I'm running ZFS filesystem ver 3, storage pool ver 14, on 8-STABLE amd64. The kernel build is rather dated from around Feb 2010. I have 6 disks in a RAIDZ configuration. All disks were sliced the same with gpart (da(n)p1,p2,p3) with bootcode written to index 1, swap on index 2 and freebsd-zfs on index 3. Given this configuration, I should be able to boot from any of the 6 disks in the RAIDZ. If this is a true statement, how do I make that happen from the loader prompt? At the loader prompt when I type show, I get the following relevant variables: currdev=zfs0 loaddev=disk1a: vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:rpool A peek at man loader(1) shows me two interesting variables: root_disk_unit rootdev If disk0 is the legacy floppy device, presumably disk1a: maps to da0. What variable do I set to signify boot from what I know as: da0p1 == gpt/boot0 da0p2 == gpt/swap0 da0p3 == gpt/disk0 ... snip ... da5p1 == gpt/boot5 da5p2 == gpt/swap5 da5p3 == gpt/disk5 Thanks very much in advance.

Re: backups using rsync
Hello, Zitat von Giorgos Keramidas keram...@ceid.upatras.gr: If this is a UFS2 filesystem, it may be a good idea to snapshot the filesystem, and then rsync-backup the snapshot instead. Last time I tried UFS2 snapshots I found out two serious limitations. The first is it doesn't work when UFS Journaling is used. The second is that taking a snapshop on a large filesystem can cause parts of the system to freeze for many minutes up to hours when accessing files part of the snapshot, depending on the size of the filesystem. That's why I could not use it on my server with 1TB UFS2. Did this improve in the last year? (I guess my experience is from the time around 9.0 release).

How to connect to VPN
I have been trying to find a way to connect to a PPTP or L2TP VPN for over a year now. There is no GUI client that I know of and any text configuration I try with pptpclient fails. How can I connect to a VPN, the fast way as in Windows, OS X and GNU/Linux. I have the following information (no internal IP's or ranges or NAT): Gateway - I have the URL to connect to, I suppose I can map it to IP Username Password MSCHAP MSCHAPv2 Use point-to-point encryption (MPPE) Allow BSD data compression Allow deflate data compression Use TCP header compression How can I connect to the VPN with just this information above? Everything I find requires internal IP's, ranges, NAT and other things making a 5 second gui configuration take months. The VPN server supports PPTP and L2TP as mentioned. Any advice on how I can connect will be helpful. -- Lyubomir Grigorov (bgalakazam) ___ 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

Tuning ZFS ARC for 512GB Memory
I have a 512GB memory system that has a 480GB (or so) L2ARC, and a raidz2 storage pool. No dedup or compression is enabled. Although, I will enable compression in the future. By default vfs.zfs.arc_max is about 300GB and the L2ARC is hardly touched. I've seen a couple hints recently on the mailing lists that having too big of an ARC can be a performance hit because it takes a long time to inspect it when something needs to integrate over the entries. I've also had issues with running 9.1 on this machine due to zfs deadlocks or stalls and am currently stuck using 9.0 with no issue. So, I was wondering if shrinking the ARC would potentially help and what should I shrink it to? I am thinking about setting vfs.zfs.arc_max to 64GB. Does anyone have an opinion? -- Reed A.
