One lun is provided to host. Initially we had the following bsdlabel: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 18863577 16 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # / b: 4194304 18863593 swap c: 33543657 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 2097152 23057897 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # /tmp e: 8388608 25155049 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # /var
With such bsdlabel boot0 randomly doesn't show prompt (F1: Disk1, etc...) and system boot stalls. At least it happenes once in 6-7 boots (usually faster). After resetting bsdlabel to (changing partition types to unused): # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 18863577 16 unused 0 0 b: 4194304 18863593 swap c: 33543657 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 2097152 23057897 unused 0 0 e: 8388608 25155049 unused 0 0 the system boots perfectly (I've booted 11 times in a row without issues). The problem is that on 2 other blades we had the similar situation, but somehow with bios settings we managed to make that systems boot every time. This time we copied bios settings from successful installation - this didn't help. Other OSes (Ununtu Linux 10.10,OpenIndiana b148) boots successfully without any tweaking on all blades. FreeBSD boots only whith fs labels changed to "unused". >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Change FS labels to "unknown" >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
