booting off a ZFS pool consisting of multiple striped mirror vdevs
Hello I have succesfully tested and used a full ZFS install of FreeBSD 8.0 on both single disk and mirror disk configurations using both MBR and GPT partitioning. AFAIK, with the more recent -CURRENT and -STABLE it is also possible to boot off a root filesystem located on raidz/raidz2 pools. But what about booting off pools consisting of multiple striped mirror or raidz vdevs? Like this: Assume each disk looks like a half of a traditional ZFS mirror root configuration using GPT 1: freebsd-boot 2: freebsd-swap 3: freebsd-zfs |disk1+disk2| + |disk3+disk4| + |disk5+disk6| My logic tells me that while booting off any of the 6 disks, boot0 and boot1 stage should obviously work fine, but what about the boot2 stage? Can it properly handle booting off a root filesystem thats striped across 3 mirror vdevs or is booting off a single mirror vdev the best that one can do right now? - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If that's the problem, use vipw to add the path to a shell as the last field on the line. The root account should provide a good example, or look at the line for your own user account. /bin/csh should work for recent versions of FreeBSD. An empty field for the user shell in /etc/{master.,}passwd means the account gets the default shell, which in the case of FreeBSD is /bin/sh. Shouldn't cause the observed problem. Cheers, Matthew I would imagine then that /etc/ttys is set to 'insecure' for all. Can you log in as root Jason?
