The new RELEASE has to be uploaded and tested that it works ok with
freebsd-update.

newvers.sh in the releng/10.3/ indicates the proper version.

Sounds very good!

As a side note. I noticed that if I log into the jail and issue:

zail1> zfs mount -a

All datasets are available.

I think that the process of attaching a dataset or a pool to a jail has to
be done after the JID has been created. The way I attach them is from the
host system:

#zfs jail  pool/dataset

Best

Excellent, this worked like a charm!

Does this means that the sysctl parameters are not honored or they have to
be also passed in the jail parameters?

Yes, it is easier to manage ZFS datasets from the host system but in this
case we are assigning a different jail to each customer. That jail should
be able to receive snapshots. It was working fine so far with 9.1.

ZFS in jails 9.2-RC1 permission denied

2013-08-07 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi list,

With a 9.1 system and the following:

/etc/sysctl.conf:

security.jail.mount_allowed=1
security.jail.mount_zfs_allowed=1
security.jail.enforce_statfs=1

zfs set jailed=on Pool
zfs jail 1 Pool

jexec 1 tcsh

jail1# zfs create Pool/test1
jail1# zfs list

NAME USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
Pool 223K  19.6G31K  /Pool
Pool/test1 31K  19.6G31K  /Pool/test

After upgrading to 9.2-RC1 the same operation results in:

jail1# zfs create Pool/test2

cannot create 'Pool/test2': permission denied

What am I missing?

Thanks

Re: Musings on ZFS Backup strategies

2013-03-07 Thread George Kontostanos
I have found that the use of mbuffer really speeds up the differential

#!/bin/sh

yesterday=`date -v -1d +"$type-%Y-%m-%d"`

# create today snapshot
snapshot_today="$pool@$today"
# look for a snapshot with this name
if zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot | sort | grep "$snapshot_today$" >
/dev/null; then
echo " snapshot, $snapshot_today, already exists"
exit 1
else
echo " taking todays snapshot, $snapshot_today" | sendmail root
zfs snapshot -r $snapshot_today
fi

# look for yesterday snapshot
snapshot_yesterday="$pool@$yesterday"

if zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot | sort | grep
"$snapshot_yesterday$" > /dev/null; then

echo " yesterday snapshot, $snapshot_yesterday, exists lets proceed
with backup"

zfs send -R -i $snapshot_yesterday $snapshot_today | mbuffer -q -v 0

echo " backup complete destroying yesterday snapshot" | sendmail root

zfs destroy -r $snapshot_yesterday
echo "Backup done" | sendmail root

FreeBSD 9.1-RC2

2012-09-30 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi all,

I know that this question is sort of rhetoric but given the fact that
it has been over a month  since 9.1-RC1 and that we are actually
entering October in a few hours. Do we have an ETD for RC2 and can we
expect a final release a week after?

This question has mainly to do with reactions that I get from clients
that do not feel comfortable staying on a pre release version for so
long.

Thanks

 9.1-RC1 r239708 no issues what so ever.

Can you ping6 each box? How about with their local-link, any results?

You are right, the chip specs say: LSISAS2108 RAID-on-Chip

The drives are identified as mfisyspd0, mfisyspd1, etc.

You are right but it seems more cost effective to get a new controller
that has support under the mps driver.

I know. The problem with that controller is that for some reason it
doesn't like gpart. I have gnoped the drives directly and it seems to
be working so far.

Right, they fall under the mps driver like the following:

LSI Logic SAS2004 (4 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2008 (8 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2108 (8 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2116 (16 Port SAS)
LSI Logic SAS2208 (8 Port SAS)

I have worked in the past with some of those and never had a problem.

The problem:

When trying to create a RaidZ pool using gpart and perform a 4K
alignment using  gnop, we get the follwoing error immediately after
exporting the pool and destroying the .nop devices:

id: 8043746387654554958
  state: FAULTED
 status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
 action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
The pool may be active on another system, but can be imported using
the '-f' flag.
   see: http://illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-5E
 config:

Pool  FAULTED  corrupted data
  raidz1-0ONLINE
13283347160590042564  UNAVAIL  corrupted data
16981727992215676534  UNAVAIL  corrupted data
6607570030658834339   UNAVAIL  corrupted data
3435463242860701988   UNAVAIL  corrupted data

When we use glabel for the same purpose with the combination of gnop,
the pool imports fine.

Any suggestions?

This is really a bad example and we shouldn't jump into the .0
releases comparison.

Firewalls are supposed to be super stable. The last thing you need in
a firewall is trying to troubleshoot OS related issues.

Most major brands use well patched long tested OS to build their
firewall software.
So, no you shouldn't jump to 9 before it has been thoroughly tested.
That doesn't mean of course that you should let others do the testing
for you. If you plan on moving your environment to 9 at some point in
the future then you have to start your own testing now.

You can not compare 8.2 with 9.0 per ZFS. What problems are you facing
with your swap in 9.0 ?

I don't think that reverting is either an option or a solution at this

I always find this a good opportunity to upgrade Perl. Given the fact
that upgrading perl and all the ports that depend upon is a pain,
having to rebuild all the ports is always a good excuse to do it.

For the amount of ports installed on a production server combined with
todays horsepower, a full rebuild doesn't take more than a couple of
hours. On a desktop it is a bit more complicated but it is always a
good opportunity to toss some ports that are useless.

Thanks to all for your input.

It looks quite obvious to me know and I think this clears any further confusion.

Hi guys,

I am aware of the proper procedure which requires a full rebuild after
a major upgrade.

Doug, the question had to to with  COMPAT_FREEBSD8 missing from GENERIC.

It seems this and the fact that some upgrades from 8.2-STABLE worked
fine without a recompile, has created the confusion.

FreeBSD 9 & recompile ports

2012-01-12 Thread George Kontostanos
Greetings all and my apologies for cross posting!

There seems to be a confusion regarding the ABI change in FreeBSD 9
and if this affects the usual upgrade path which includes a full port
rebuild.

The relevant post is here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28831

Frankly, I am also confused because I remember a relevant discussion a
few months ago in the lists. Traditionally a major RELEASE upgrade
requires a full ports rebuild, however this time there is no
COMPAT_FREEBSD8 in GENERIC and most upgraded systems seem to be
working fine. On the other hand this is stated in UPDATING:

20110828:
Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared

Hi Doug,

thanks for the valuable info. After a lot of debugging I reached to
the point where I get:

Jan  9 17:21:22 hp named[39053]:
/usr/src/lib/bind/dns/../../../contrib/bind9/lib/dns/journal.c:171:
unexpected error:
Jan  9 17:21:22 hp named[39053]: missing SOA

Some googling showed that this is a rather common error-bug with
DNSSEC. I am no expert here, so I will turn this to the bind mailing
list.

DNSSec on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE causes CPU 100%

2012-01-04 Thread George Kontostanos
Greetings everyone,

I was testing DNSSec resolution on BIND 9.8.1-P1 by adding the
following options:

options {
...
dnssec-enable yes;
dnssec-validation auto;
...
};

Unfortunately immediately after named is restarted one CPU reaches
100% utilization.

CPU: 30.1% user,  0.0% nice, 23.6% system,  0.0% interrupt, 46.3% idle
Mem: 111M Active, 14M Inact, 255M Wired, 852K Cache, 3558M Free
Swap: 2048M Total, 2048M Free

 2178 bind  5  200 51364K 13828K kqread  0   0:17 84.18% named

The system is running GENERIC kernel, and it not an authoritative DNS.
Mainly used for testing purposes. My logs don't show anything strange:

Jan  5 02:03:55 hp named[2178]: starting BIND 9.8.1-P1 -t /var/named -u bind

I wish it was that simple. It is very different to be aware of a
possible vulnerability from getting an official security advisory.
Unfortunately sometimes, the decision to patch or not to patch, comes
from people who decide based upon bureaucracy.
I am certainly thankful to the FreeBSD security team for identifying
and providing patches.
However, when you start receiving emails about security advisories
every 5 minutes, you tend to wonder when will they stop :)

Regards and happy holidays

Yes, that's easy if you dealing with one server. But it is very
different when you have to apply those patches to 20 different servers
that are in different locations. Having a local cvsup server doing
this job tends to make updating easier.

In any case, and IMHO this was not the proper time for this kind of
advisories considering the fact that many companies are in a freeze
period.

Yes, I am aware of this however, it creates some inconsistencies.

9.0-BETA3 and ports db

2011-09-28 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi everyone,

Today I upgraded one of my servers from 8.2-STABLE to 9.0-BETA3. I
noticed that after the upgrade portsnap does not fetch Index-9 and I
had to manually issue the "make fetchindex" command. I remember that
this was something I had to do when I was running 9-CURRENT a few
months ago in my desktop PC but I thought that it would be solved by
now.
Am I doing something wrong or is this an expected behavior ?

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

I have found a used LSI SAS3041E-HP 4-Port PCI-E SAS/SATA RAID
controller on ebay. It comes around 70$ which is pretty much the same
price I paid for the junk am using now. Do you know if this is
supported because I can't find anything relevant in HCL and I read
that some people use it without problems.

Thanks

There are a lot of people I know that have similar issues. It has
caused me to replace 3 disks so far. I am afraid that this controller
should be marked as junk.

Thanks for the info!!!

Unfortunately ata-chipset.c doesn't exist in my source tree. Maybe
something has changed and the patch has to be applied differently  ?

Look, I think that this is getting personal and not constructive at all.
Stop mumbling unless you have something useful to add.

I have also changed the SATA port in the controller!

I am afraid that I might get a new controller and still have the same
issues. I just want to eliminate any other options first.

This is the 3rd disk I replace in 3 disk- Raiz1 pool and I really start to

Re: Promise SATA controller issues...

2011-04-26 Thread George Kontostanos
The system was up since April 21 when I upgraded to the latest world &&
kernel.
There are 2 pools, a mirror with root on ZFS for the OS and a Raidz1 just
for the data.

hp# zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: scrub completed after 1h30m with 0 errors on Tue Apr 26 22:48:32
2011
config:

tank  ONLINE   0 0 0
  raidz1  ONLINE   0 0 0
label/zdisk1  ONLINE   0 0 0
label/zdisk2  ONLINE   0 0 0
label/zdisk3  ONLINE   0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

  pool: zroot
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

zroot  ONLINE   0 0 0
  mirror   ONLINE   0 0 0
gpt/disk0  ONLINE   0 0 0
gpt/disk1  ONLINE   0 0 0


The server is a SOHO fileserver with a few other services:

sshd_enable="YES"
named_enable="YES"   #Caching name server
samba_enable="YES"
dhcpd_enable="YES"
squid_enable="YES"
apcupsd_enable="YES"

snmpd_enable="YES"
nagios_enable="YES"
munin_node_enable="YES"
bsdstats_enable="YES"
smartd_enable="YES"

There was nothing out of the ordinary before this except some repeated power
failures that where handled by the UPS as you can see in the logs:

Promise SATA controller issues...

2011-04-26 Thread George Kontostanos
Greetings all,

I have a Promise PDC40718 SATA300 controller running on a box from
8.0-Release since now now on 8.2-Stable 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #3:
Thu Apr 21 15:23:08 EEST 2011. The controller is in jbod mode with 3 WD
drives in Raidz1.

ad6: 610480MB  at ata3-master UDMA100 SATA
3Gb/s
ad8: 610480MB  at ata4-master UDMA100 SATA
3Gb/s
ad10: 610480MB  at ata5-master UDMA100 SATA
3Gb/s

Today the box became unresponsive so I had to do a hard reset. From
/var/log/messages:

It appears from the logs that the problem lasted for a full day! However,
after the reboot the drive did not perform any resilver and no data loss
occurred.
I have scrubbed my pool successfully and run smartmon tests also.

SMART Error Log Version: 1
No Errors Logged

It doesn't appear to be a drive issue so I was wondering if the recent
changes in controllers that appeared a few days ago might be related.

Thanks

Re: ZFS root on MB Intel S3420GP

2011-04-17 Thread George Kontostanos
There is a nice guide in the WIKI regarding how to install your system with
ZFS on root.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ2

In any case don't configure the raid in your controller and let ZFS take
care of this.

Re: Kernel memory leak in 8.2-PRERELEASE?

2011-04-05 Thread George Kontostanos
Years ago when RAM was expensive swap a necessary workaround. That doesn't
mean that swap is useless. It all depends on what a server is doing. If you
are using a database server then it is absolutely normal and expected to
cache. Also, unlike other OS FreeBSD tends to make use of the ram. Swaping
recently used data is not bad and it is the way it works.

Re: Constant rebooting after power loss

2011-04-03 Thread George Kontostanos
Those are workarounds. A system should not reach to a point where it doesn't
come up because of a pending fsck. And even if it does console access must
be ensured. My point is that by disabling these you might bring it up but
you seriously risk data integrity.

Not with the same behavior and it depends on what your server is doing at
the time of the power interruption. In most cases you wouldn't see anything
but ZFS is not the solution to your problem. ZFS is not designed to replace
the needs of a UPS.

Raid1 ZFS bug 148655 status

2010-08-03 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi,

I was wondering if there are any updates regarding 
"http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148655"; bug ?
It appears to be sirius since a failure of the first disk makes the system 
unbeatable.

Thanks
