gmirror over ggate
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm running 5.4-RELEASE with geom_{mirror,gate}.ko and the various geom, gmirror and ggate[cd] userland libs/tools built from a fairly recent CVSup (8/Aug). Having successfully setup gmirror to link a local and remote device together, I wanted to test what happens when the remote machine "dies", so I've simulated that by killing the ggated process. As expected ggatec notices, as does gmirror and the array is marked degraded. I then set about a recovery procedure: I restart ggated on the "dead" machine then destroy and re-create the ggatec unit -- so that gmirror picks it up the change, which it does. However it then barfs with "Component ggate0 (device test) broken, skipping" and I get the following with kern.geom.*.debug*=1 :- - 8<8<8<8<8<8< g_post_event_x(0xc0534400, 0xc3e98480, 2, -1067996144) g_mirror_taste(MIRROR, ggate0) GEOM_MIRROR[2]: Tasting ggate0. g_detach(0xc4008600) g_destroy_consumer(0xc4008600) g_destroy_geom(0xc4095600(mirror:taste)) ~ magic: GEOM::MIRROR ~ version: 3 ~ name: test ~ mid: 2465257116 ~ did: 1740936384 ~ all: 2 ~ genid: 0 ~syncid: 1 ~ priority: 0 ~ slice: 4096 ~ balance: prefer ~ mediasize: 16688867328 sectorsize: 512 syncoffset: 0 ~mflags: NONE ~dflags: NONE hcprovider: ggate0 ~ provsize: 16688867840 ~ MD5 hash: f4b64bb297186874c4ad915cba692390 GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Adding disk ggate0 to test.

Re: Problems with booting & MBR

Boot blocks on aacd0
>> Please CC me in as I'm not on the list Hello, I have a fresh-install of 4.11 running entirely on an Adaptec 2200S (as RAID-10) that I net-booted to install. All appears to be well using the aac(4) driver. However, I want to update the boot blocks so that I can run a serial console faster than 9600. I've created new versions of boot[12] and allegedly installed them (copied to /boot and then disklabel -B aacd0s1), but no change. The problem appears to be that either the new blocks aren't being written to the right place, or that they're not being written full-stop. I've even tried adding a printf() to boot2.c to verify this, but alas it does not show up during boot :( So, what am I doing wrong and how should I do it correctly? >> Please CC me in as I'm not on the list Thanks, Stewart. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
EM64T support
Hi, I'm putting together a (dual-CPU) web/mail server and I have a quandary regarding CPUs: I'd like to use the features on the EM64T Intel Xeons. However, from reading around, there is only support in the AMD64 arm of FreeBSD-5. Since these are extensions, would I be able to use a pair of Xeons with EM64T and run FreeBSD-4.10 until such time as FreeBSD-5 becomes production ready (5.3?), or should I stick with straight Xeon/XeonMP? Thanks, Stewart. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
