I ask because I just ordered two more HDD to use as spares. Whether they sit on the shelf or in the box is open to discussion. As far as our testing could discover, it's not automatic. I wrote some Ugly Perl that's called by devd when it spots a drive-fail event, which seemed to DTRT when simulating a failure by pulling a drive. Without such a script, what is the value in creating hot spares? We went through that loop in the office. We're used to the way the Netapps work here, where often one's first notice of a failed disk is a visit from the courier with a replacement. (I'm only half joking) In the end, writing enough perl to swap in the spare disk made much more sense than paging the relevant admin on disk-fail and expecting them to be able to type straight at 4AM. Our thinking is that having a hot spare allows us to do the physical disk-swap in office hours, rather than (for instance) running in a degraded state over a long weekend. If it's of interest, I'll see if I can share the code. -- JH-R ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I think there should be some strong warning somewhere (in man zpool?). Some users can be misleaded otherwise.

Well, I'd argue that point given I'm happily running an AM3 XIII 6-core 4Ghz motherboard that is military grade, which /also/ sports the nfe(4). Oh, and it wasn't cheap. :) However, the one I'm working with here is only an AM2 with a 2-core. > > CC'ing Yong-Hyeon Pyun to assist in debugging/explaining the above > error. Yong-Hyeon Pyun kindly responded to my message to @amd64 || @net, and requested much the same info - which I provided. I /assumed/ that it was an amd64 issue, as this box is the only amd64 of the lot, that, or because it was the only 8.1 - the others are all <= 8.0. After posting/ responding @amd64 && @net, I noticed the NFS patch in the @stable, and figured it worth asking about. > > In the interim, can you please provide output from the following > commands: > > > # uname -a > # dmesg (please include relevant nfe details and miibus) SEE ATTACHED FILE: dmesg.boot.udns0 > # pciconf -lvcb (please only include nfe-related output) n...@pci0:0:10:0: class=0x068000 card=0x73101462 chip=0x005710de rev=0xf3 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator (CK804)' class = bridge bar [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xf9ffb000, size 4096, enabled bar [14] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xc080, size 8, enabled cap 01[44] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 > # netstat -ind(you can XX-out MACs and/or IPs) NameMtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs IdropOpkts Oerrs Coll Drop nfe0 1500 00:19:db:22:74:87 729801 0 0 529029 182 00 nfe0 1500 XXX.XXX.XXX.0 XXX.XXX.XXX.26 695750 - - 631781 - -- nfe0 1500 fe80:1::219:d fe80:1::219:dbff:0 - -6 - -- plip0 15000 0 00 0 00 lo0 16384 315 0 0 315 0 00 lo0 16384 127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.1 313 - - 313 - -- lo0 16384 ::1/128 ::1 0 - -2 - -- lo0 16384 fe80:3::1/64 fe80:3::10 - -0 - -- > # ifconfig -a (you can XX-out MACs and/or IPs) nfe0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8010b ether 00:19:db:22:74:87 inet XXX.XXX.XXX.26 netmask 0xffe0 broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.31 inet6 fe80::219:dbff:fe22:7487%nfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 nd6 options=3 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active plip0: flags=8810 metric 0 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 nd6 options=3 > > > Thanks.
