Just thought I would mention that for the archives. Just a tip that may help in circumstances like this. Anything that can be set from loader.conf (or device.hints for that matter) can also be set from the loader prompt: set kern.geom.debugflags=XXX ...of course in your case it looked like the values _were_ being set, but it can be handy when loader.conf is difficult or impossible to edit.

Oh, ignore me I just read the thread from beginning and saw that you already thought of that and didn't have console access :-/ Craig ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
loader.conf setting ignored
Hello all, I am trying to turn on geom debug at boot in order to help figure out my gvinum problem, but I can't seem to set the variable from loader.conf. I can, however, set the variable from the loader prompt. My loader.conf looks like: geom_vinum_load=YES kern.geom.debugflags=1 I verified that my loader.rc contains these lines: include /boot/loader.4th start Any ideas on why debugflags cannot be set from loader.conf? I tried googling and found many references to people using it this way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Ben ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: loader.conf setting ignored
Write kern.geom.debugflags=1 it in to sysctl.conf and then try again.

I moved the setting to /etc/sysctl.conf and this did result in the debugflags being set correctly. Unfortunately, though, it appears this occurs too late to see geom debug for the boot process. (Which makes sense since geom is probably needed to read in sysctl.conf.) I guess this is just something that cannot be done without console access to the loader prompt? Thanks again.
