2. I didn't touch mergemaster.mtree manually. Well, I don't think I did.
But even if I had, could the tool give me some clue as to how to proceed
from here? Do I now have to go back to csup to update my system and
never be able to use freebsd-update again? Is there a trick to fool
freebsd-update into overwriting this file which I don't think I touched?

It would be nice if freebsd-update could be more helpful about what the
user should do next when it finds an error.



Thanks

uname only reports the kernel info. I don't remember if the p6-8 updates 
touched anything in the kernel, so the kernel probably wasn't rebuilt.


You can check in the file /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh, there is a 
variable named BRANCH. That should tell you which was your last update.

nfsv4 strangeness

2010-07-26 Thread Vrachnis Ilias-Dimitrios
Greetings fellow list-mates.

I have been trying to set up a zfs filesystem in order to share it over
the network using nfs.
The filesystem was easy enough to set up. As long I was using nfsv3,
everything was in order. I was able to mount the share (from my
archlinux desktop pc).
My headaches started when I tried to enable the nfsv4 server. When I
added nfsv4_server_enable=YES to the rc.conf file, I started getting
errors and I could not mount the share at all. Right now, the output I
get while mounting is:

mount.nfs4: timeout set for Tue Jul 27 06:14:56 2010
mount.nfs4: trying text-based options
'addr=192.168.2.100,clientaddr=192.168.2.64'
mount.nfs4: mount(2): Permission denied
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting files:/temper

The last line suggests that it is the server's fault, and that's why I'm
here. After searching the web for any clue I admit I haven't found a thing.

The server is running 8.1-RELEASE amd64 with the generic kernel. More or
less all files are the ones that come with the default installation.

As for the filesystem:

[r...@files ~]# zfs get sharenfs temper
NAMEPROPERTY  VALUE SOURCE
temper  sharenfs  onlocal

All pointers are welcome.

Re: Zpool scrub and not-root users

 Hello everyone
 
 Im wondering if there is a way of allowing non-root users to perform a disk
 scrub using zpool scrub pool. I've been messing around with permissions,
 but no luck so far. Anyone got a clue?

i'm not sure, but my guess is that there isn't.
scrubbing a pool can put a stress to your system. Especially if there is
resilvering to be done.
So even if there is a way, I'd suggest against it as a security measure.
