 Hi,

 This problem came back after an unclean, forced reset of a crashed VM.
 This time I managed to log startup messages via serial console.

 After this problem occurred, it would persist between resets.  I had to
 boot d-i, drop to a shell, run fsck.ufs -y on the root partition (this
 just marked it clean;  no modifications were needed), and after that it
 would boot normally again.

 I have no swaps configured in /etc/fstab.  I've set VERBOSE=yes in
 /etc/default/rcS for next time...
Truly unbelieavable ! I was exactly on this very same instant dealing
with exactly *this very issue*!

Thanks a lt! You saved me hours!

Bug#662140: [zfsutils] Broken cron.d task

2012-03-04 Thread Dererk
Package: zfsutils
Version: 9.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I got this morning a failure report on some kfreebsd boxes:

From: root@somebox (Cron Daemon)
To: root@somebox
Subject: Cron root@somebox if [ $(date +%d) -le 7 ]; then zpool list -H -o

/bin/sh: 1: zpool: not found
xargs: zpool: No such file or directory


Tracking it down, the reason behind it is because either full path to
zpool wasn't specified or because PATH doesn't include :/sbin on the
array, as you can see on the ENV report.


Please either provide a fullpath to the script or export /sbin on PATH
environment value for this cron task.

Hi Robert Millan!

Yes, it's just missing the activation of the pflog device option on the
network options list block.

In what respects to whether it works or not, I've been running an amd64
node for longer than 10 days now, with just this little change performed
over the stock kernel pkg and it appears to be pretty stable, no errors
have appeared so far and the functionality is working greatly. It

 tcpdump worked somehow, but I do not remember exactly,
 it is 4 years ago, see #448695.

 Probably, the net/pfvar.h used to need net/if_pflog.h.
 It is not needed any longer. It looks like the proper fix is just to
 discard 50_kfreebsd.diff (after quilt pop -a -f) from series.

 Dererk, please could you test such tcpdump with your custom kernel ?

FTR, further inspection shows that, in fact, there appears to be a patch

Judging from this[1][2], it leads me think that it's simple not being

Re: Please test zfsutils 9.0~svn226163-1

2011-10-13 Thread Dererk
Hello Arno!

I can confirm that the changes do work nicely (with the same symbol
lookup errors you described).

In case it helps, I've notice an increase in the cpu usage when
upgrading to 28 zfs pool version. Although it's not higher than 5-10%
(running on a 4-cored amd64), It's noticeable on monitoring.
I do suspect this to be a direct cause of deduplication, since the
upgraded zpool handle thousand of files.


Thanks! :-)

Re: grub2: Cannot recognize FS format any more under kfreebsd ports

2011-02-26 Thread Dererk
Hi.

For the sake of anyone out there looking for a clue,  I'm dropping some
lines about how I got my system to boot from grub issues, running a
kFreeBSD port.

I have to first boot my system in some way to downgrade grub2 package,
1.98+20100804-14 was good enough.

Few ways for getting the defective system to boot:
1. Boot using an already running freebsd system, overriding grub boot
loader with freebsd's native boot loader. Works, but takes some time.
2. Use another grub installation and override your boot sector. Works,
but takes some time.
3. Get an already working grub from another installation (can be any OS
with grub running, not only kbsd), and use the regular grub console (not
rescue mode) to boot your system through it. Have to know partitioning
schema and stuff, little painful loading them in but backup-ready.

Once you get on running, downgrade grub2, grub-pc and grub-common to
whatever version worked for you before, as I already mention,
1.98+20100804-14 works.
Then, use tell dpkg to hold them for any future upgrade you might
perform (echo «pkgname» hold | dpkg --set-selections).

That should put you right on the road again.

FreeBSD, consequently Debian kFreeBSD, replaced their old packet filter 
(luckily) with a ported OpenBSD's PF, most flexible and powerful packet

 I've just installed kfreebsd-i386 with qemu (on amd64), and noticed the

 I guess this problem would be best solved within the installer, but in

 this directory exists before starting freebsd-utils?

 

 I have fixed freebsd-utils in the SVN to create this directory if it

 On GNU/Linux, this directory is provided by initscripts. I think we
 should do the same on GNU/kFreeBSD. I'll file a bug report about that.

 FreeBSD 7.0?
 Second question - I was trying to find a binary package for MySQL
