Issue was mentioned recently on stable@ http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?47F548D9.8060905
The problem is in order of rc.d scripts. After encswap finishes it's impossible to open original (not encrypted) swap device for write so savecore fails. The following patch adds 'encswap' target to be run after 'disks' but before 'swap1'. With the patch order of scripts becomes: dumpon geli savecore encswap swap1 instead of: dumpon geli encswap swap1 savecore The problem is that savecore looses ability to use syslog. You still get messages on console. The only solution I see is to use some hackery magic to inject log messages into kern.msgbuf with the help of /dev/console. I'm not sure it's really needed. diff -ur rc.d.orig/encswap rc.d/encswap --- rc.d.orig/encswap 2008-04-27 14:53:38.000000000 +0300 +++ etc/rc.d/encswap 2008-04-27 14:53:27.000000000 +0300 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # -# PROVIDE: disks -# REQUIRE: initrandom +# PROVIDE: encswap +# REQUIRE: initrandom disks # KEYWORD: nojail . /etc/rc.subr diff -ur rc.d.orig/savecore rc.d/savecore --- rc.d.orig/savecore 2008-04-27 14:53:38.000000000 +0300 +++ etc/rc.d/savecore 2008-04-27 14:53:27.000000000 +0300 @@ -4,8 +4,7 @@ # # PROVIDE: savecore -# REQUIRE: syslogd -# BEFORE: SERVERS +# BEFORE: encswap # KEYWORD: nojail . /etc/rc.subr diff -ur rc.d.orig/swap1 rc.d/swap1 --- rc.d.orig/swap1 2008-04-27 14:53:38.000000000 +0300 +++ etc/rc.d/swap1 2008-04-27 14:53:27.000000000 +0300 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # # PROVIDE: localswap -# REQUIRE: disks +# REQUIRE: encswap disks # KEYWORD: nojail shutdown . /etc/rc.subr _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
