Machine won't boot - softraid metadata version mismatch

2018-05-03 Thread Brandon Tanner
I haven't posted here in years, and OpenBSD has been rock solid for a home file server. However recently I somehow made the machine un-bootable and I'm kicking myself for it now. I've tried to google my heart out to fix this issue, but I doubt it is very common based on my searches. My machine is

Re: softeaid rebuild very slow

2014-04-14 Thread Brandon Tanner
You can always do a super-rebuild. Simply, backup the contents of your drive to another computer or external drive. Then start from scratch with your softraid 1 array, which will just be re-created, and take < ~1 min. Then copy the data back. Given this kind of setup, you can probably be back up

ffs2

How do I know if I'm using ffs2 on a partition. My softraid 1 volume is 2.7TB, and mount shows it as: /dev/sd3a on /storage type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep) However, I think I read that > 2TB volumes automatically use FFS2 when using newfs, yet mount only shows ffs (is it transparent or s
