Correct me if I'm wrong but from my point of view there is no need to
fall back to MBR partitions. GPT partitions should be at least as
robust as MBR partitions are if not even more (e.g. because of using
CRC). We are still talking about /possible/ issues with /one copy/ (of
two) of the GPT - MBR doesn't even have a backup copy nor uses CRC.

And if you are still concerned run 'gpart backup $disk/$partition(s)'
before your regular backup - one should do so anyway.

FWIW:

While a sysinstall from CD (tried 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2) also dies short
before the end of the installation, Ubuntu 10.4 (EXT4), Windows 7 and
OpenBSD install fine and also do not die when copying a lots of
files... :(

1. Create the mirror
2. Create the partition(s)

Or do the steps described in section 19.4.2 at

No. While this works with MBR it fails with GPT as GPT and GEOM both
want to use the last sector of the disk.

First create the mirror and after that gpart it. It will create a
message like

GEOM: da0: the secondary GPT header is not in the last LBA.
GEOM: da1: the secondary GPT header is not in the last LBA.

which afaik is ignorable. At least it works fine here and I didn't find
any caveats in the net.

Another workaround is not to mirror the disk but only slices or
partitions.

HTH, Helmut

panic, but /var/crash ist empty

2011-04-27 Thread Helmut Schneider
Hi,

running 8.2-RELEASE-p1 within VMWare ESXi 4.1-u1 I want to use raw
devices as hard disks. I create the devices using this link:

http://www.mattiasholm.com/node/33

I tried 3 different hard drives (Seagate 2x80GB and 1x400GB SATA2)
which are fine on a physical machine. I also ran Seatool many hours on
all of them without errors.

I can partiton the disks and create a few files/directories on it. But
as soon as I copy a larger number of files to those disks (tried with
MBR and GPT) the VM reboots *instantly* (I tried cp, dump/restore and
rsync). No "Rebooting within 15 seconds", just *snap*. I think I can
see an panic but I'm not sure, it's too fast.

(as far as I can see most of the times the data on the first UFS slice
(and only the first UFS slice!) of the partition gets *severly*
corrupted, most of the time all that is left are a few files within
lost+found. Sometimes all the labels are gone but are recoverable using
bsdlabel -R)

The problem is that /var/crash remains empty.

What can I do to create a backtrace to open a PR?

Thanks, Helmut

if you have an ip-kvm you can drop into single-user and fsck any disk you

start kernel with -s parameter


I *do* now how to enter single user mode but the kernel panic'ed *before*

Do you maybe have some problem with your /etc directory or your rc.conf
configuration? Like missing /etc/rc.d/fsck or missing/corrupted other
important rc script. Or some such - pure guessing here.


'mergemaster -iF' says it's fine.

After fsck'ing / with the help of the live CD I rebooted the
machine but  now I got the same problem with /home.

How can I avoid such issues (except of not letting the machine
crash)? Is  there a way to boot at least to single user mode and

There is no 'login' when / cannot be mounted...


fsck it. if you have another machine in there, you can try to make a
serial console. or install a ip-kvm extender ;)


I do have such thing (IBM Blade Center) but I'm looking for something to
avoid the situation above. Something that lets me at least boot into
single  user mode.


If you had access to the console (I'm guessing you did in order to use the
live CD), did you try booting into single-user from the beastie menu?


Yes, I did, same issue, screen filled up with message above, after ~5 
minutes kernel panic.



IME, failure to fsck the / menu should drop automatically to single-user
at the console, but if this fails, then you should be able to choose
single-user boot from the menu, which will then not try to run fsck or
mount / rw.  From there you should be able to fsck and remount /, as well
as /home or anything else.  This will fail if there is something horribly
wrong with /, causing a failure even when / is mounted ro, but then there
may be no good solution.


There were only 2 or 3 inodes broken, fix from live CD ran smoothly.

Thanks, Helmut


if there's a problem with home you can change

PermitRoorLogin yes

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, restart sshd, login as root, unmount home and

Re: Invalid path for portupgrade ftp.FreeBSD.orgpub

I'm upgrading a system from 6.4 to 7.1 and rebuilding all the ports.
I'd rather use packages where present to speed things up a bit so I'm  
using:

# portupgrade -faP

The problem is that it never finds the packages as the URL is invalid,  
there seems to be a missing slash between in ftp.FreeBSD.orgpub


I created a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131775

In the meantime install ruby-1.8.6 which solves the problem.
