gmirror over ggate

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 :-

    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

I think this is because you're in multi-user mode and the drives are in
use (things mounted).  You might have better luck in single-user mode.

Boot blocks on aacd0

2005-02-22 Thread Stewart Morgan
>> 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?

Stewart.

EM64T support

2004-08-12 Thread Stewart Morgan
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.
