bioctl cosmetic issue

2023-06-24 Thread John Klos
Hi, I just set up an LSI MegaRAID controller with four 10 TB drives which happen to be 4K sector drives. Everything works swimmingly, but I did notice that bioctl isn't yet aware of 4K blocks. Here's my mfii0 and RAID volume: [ 1.033007] mfii0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0: "LSI MegaRAID SAS

Problems with blocklistd: user error?

2023-06-24 Thread John Klos
Hi, I've set up blocklistd on quite a few machines so far, and it has mostly been straightforward and without issues. On the other hand, a few people have locked themselves out and I can't figure out how or why from what I see in the logs. Now it has happened to me, and I'm still clueless.

Areca RAID controllers on non-amd64

Hello, I have two Areca RAID controllers which I'd like to use with non-x86 systems. One is an ARC-1110, the other an ARC-1160ML. I've been testing the ARC-1110 on NetBSD 8 on an amd64 system and on an Alpha. The card shows up fine on both systems: arcmsr0 at pci6 dev 14 function 0 arcmsr0:

Is it still not possible to boot from raidframe on GPT? Booting from a GPT partition within a RAID within a GPT is not currently supported. The best workaround would be to put your root in a unpartitioned/disklabel-partitioned raid device. Hmmm... So I created a standard ffs wedge for the

tmux overhead

2016-01-21 Thread John Klos
Hi, all, Since tmux is part of a standard NetBSD install, I've been using it instead of screen. So far, so good. However, I've noticed that it accumulates a LOT of CPU time even when the underlying tty and shell are doing absolutely nothing. On a 60 MHz m68060 system that's been up for 53

SSL root certificates in base system?

2015-04-09 Thread John Klos
Hi, Is there a better way to install and update trusted root certificates in NetBSD? The recommendation of using security/mozilla-rootcerts from pkgsrc isn't a good one; first, it assumes that a system has NO other certificates (/etc/openssl/certs/ must be empty), and second, it leaves a
