Re: disk spinning continuously + cpu possibly overheating = sudden death

2011-07-10 Thread Manish Jain

   Hi Chuck,
   I ran memtest86+ by loading it from the loader prompt. It completed
   Pass 1 with no errors in about 45 minutes. While I'll re-run
   memtest86+ for at least 2 passes tonight, I more suspect bad blocks in
   my ffs slice. So I am planning to install sysutils/smartmontools and
   run smartctl on /dev/ad8s2 (the ffs slice). Is there any port for
   monitoring system thermals, particularly CPU ?

That's interesting but inconclusive.  Can you run prime95 testing overnight und
er WinXP without issues?  Or memtest86?

BTW, 8.2 does NOT - for reasons unfathomable to me - install /usr/sbin/apmd. I 
don't know how significant that is, but I have had to insert into rc.conf :

apm_enable=NO
apmd_enable=NO

ACPI replaced APM around 2000.  (I'm assuming you don't have a 11-year-old quad
-core Phenom system, since AMD didn't make such processors until 2007 or 2008.)

Fw: zpool-zfs'es on a GELI-encrypted volume are not mounted at boot [patch included]

2011-07-10 Thread Christopher J. Ruwe
Nearly a week ago I posted this question to freebsd-fs, but probalby my
question is a) worded too complicatedly, b) not really a
filesystem-issue or c) both.

To rephrase: In setups requiring one or more ZFS-dataset to be mounted before 
another service is activated (GELI in my case) and the rest of the ZFS-datasets 
after that service is activated (because they require GELI), it seems to be 
necessary to add a `zfs mount -a` to mountcritlocal. Is this considered correct 
behaviour and wouldn't it make sense to add such a line to mountcritlocal in 
the standard setup?

Thank you, cheers,

Subject: zpool-zfs'es on a GELI-encrypted volume are not mounted at
boot [patch included]


I run my notebook under FreeBSD 8.2-stable,  r223699. I have setup my
disks with ZFS so that I boot from a very small rpool and mount
datasets, among these /usr from another pool configured on top of an
AES encrypted GELI.

When installing a new world using this setup, it is necessary to
manually adapt /etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal, mountcritlocal_start() to do a
zfs mount -a. Failing to do so causes my rootpool to be mounted (which
follows from rc.conf), then the GELI volume to be unlocked. After this,
the boot routine hangs, as /usr (which resides) on the encrypted vol,
which is not mounted, as the canonical zfs mounts are mounted before
GELI. 

I cannot imagine that I am the only one to run ZFSes on an encrypted
GELI volume. Am I booting this setup in an inadvisable way, so that I
need to run into problems? If not, then it might be an idea to
include a zfs mount -a in mountcritlocal in the canonical rc.d-setup.

Am I getting this right or could you please comment?

Thank you, cheers,

 This is the tag that you would use on src collections to update your
 base system sources (usually in /usr/src) to 8-STABLE.  You would use
 RELENG_8_2 for the 8.2-STABLE security branch, RELENG_8_2_RELEASE for
 8.2-RELEASE, and so on.

Reading through the archives, several years worth, it appears that this
is one of the most frequently asked questions. Many users, both new
(obviously) and some not so new get confused as to what is the proper
tag to use for each branch; ie Stable Current, etc.Maybe there
should be some way to make it easier to understand. For example:

8.2-RELEASE: original release of code sans any updates, etc.

8.2-STABLE: released version plus security updates

8.2-CURRENT: All updates, security  otherwise to the original version

?-CURRENT: The absolute latest release of FreeBSD irregardless of what
version it is.

Anyway, it is just a suggestion. In any case I think it might be easier
for some to comprehend. Anything that eliminates confusion is a plus.

zfs_enable=YES is set. rcorder gives curious output, so maybe my etcs are 
wrong?

$ rcorder /etc/rc.d/zfs
rcorder: file `/etc/rc.d/zfs' is before unknown provision `mountlate'
/etc/rc.d/zfs

$ rcorder /etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal
rcorder: requirement `root' in file `/etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal' has no providers.
/etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal

However, I fear I have not made my intent clear. My boot-sequence should be as 
follows (intermittent steps left out):

1) mount zfs root-fs, which is on plain standard zpool A
2) unlock another, GELI-encrypted zpool B
3) mount all other fs (/usr,...), which reside on zpool B

What my system does is first to mount the fs on zpool A, then GELI-unlock and 
then halt because the contents of /usr are not accessible (yet)

What I want my system to do is to first  mount root, then unlock GELI and then 
mount all other remaining fs on zpool B.

I could either mount all remaining zfs'es in mountcritlocal, which
requires another line there, which I have added locally as put in my
patch. I cannot shift the order so that GELI-unlock comes first, because
my keys for GELI reside on /boot, which resides on zpool A.

So, is my setup anything from unfortunate to plain stupid or is
mountcritlocal missing a statement catering for such cases as I
described?

Thank you for your help, cheers,

I have 34 years experience as a Data Systems technician, system admin, 
developer, and tech writer, yet I till won't claim I know everything, so 
please don't flame me. Constructive, polite criticism is welcome. I began my 
career before Unix or MicroSucks even existed.

It is a misnomer to attach a release number to current or stable.  CURRENT is 
called HEAD in source code control vernacular.  CURRENT's number is 
transient.  It is often incorrectly referred to as 9.  Please refrain from 
such usage.  It is technically incorrect and confuses users who have no 
knowledge of source code control.  Same goes for STABLE.

In my opinion, the real confusion is in ascertaining what you SHOULD be using.

If you want to run FreeBSD, KDE, gnome, etc., as a PRODUCTION machine, yo 
should NOT be using CURRENT or STABLE.  You should be installing a RELEASE on 
a TEST machine, verify that ALL your user applications have no showstopper 
anomales, and DEPLOY the release AFTER testing has given you a great dela of 
confidence in the software.  You should JUMP from a release to the next 
release, using the testing and deployment mentioned.

You WILL get security updates if you track a release, such as 8.2.  But again, 
don't just update your sources and deploy.  TEST it on a test machine, before 
exposing your end users to it.  This is referred to as PROFESSIONALISM.

The ONLY people that should be tracking STABLE or CURRENT are the people who 
DON'T need their hand held for system administration.  If you violate this 
protocol, you will be taking developers time away from development to TRAIN 
you in system admin.  PLEASE don't.

Hope this helps and if it offends you, please take the time to think about it 
before you flame me.

Do you mount the root pool over smth else? Otherwise, root should be
mounted by kernel before init(8) is started. And /etc/rc.d doesn't exist
before root is mounted.

I think the correct order is

  0 vfs_mountroot*
  ..
  2 rc.d/zvol (pre v28)
  ..
  6 rc.d/geli
  ..
  15 rc.d/mountcritlocal
  16 rc.d/zfs

where extra datasets from the root pool can be mounted via fstab at
rc.d/mountcritlocal time. Not sure if you import geli pool during boot
or not and leak its configuration via zpool.cache.

MS machines would be the way to make money.  I have a friend who is a
computer technician and he is very happy with the garbage that you
mention.  He says that because there are many careless users and the
garbage allows other garbage(virii, spyware, malware, etc) to come
in; he has a job and a way to provide for his family.  He can take his
kids to mcdonalds and get them a happy meal take out his family to
watch a movie.  I tell him the same thing like you mention, but he
says that fixing those machines that are out there is something that
he has to do to at least make ends meet and no, it is not support from
MS, it is a job to clean/wipe those machines to make them workable
again :)
support from M$ would be more money and I remember folks that get
burned at the stake for getting a job from those guys :(

Regards,

Antonio
