hi i have a similar problem too. can you explain in detail what you have done step by step? i wanna know if my problem is exactly what you have. thanks On 9/29/12, s m sam.gh1...@gmail.com wrote: thanks Fabian for your answer. i don't know what exactly information is needed but i tell what i did up to now. i have two partition, one is encrypted and the other one is not. the unencrypted partition has boot folder. when i copy FreeBSD base system files, FreeBSD start up correctly but when i restore dump files, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly. i hope this information help to understand what is wrong. thanks On 9/29/12, Fabian Keil freebsd-lis...@fabiankeil.de wrote: s m sam.gh1...@gmail.com wrote: I backed up my freeBSD 8.2 box by dump command and now want to restore this dump file on an encrypted file system (i used geli to encrypt my file system) but do not know how to do that. is there any way or command to restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system? i tried to restore my dump file as when file system is unencrypted.

Re: how restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system?
thanks saeedeh OK i try to explain what i have done more in detail. i want to restore unencrypted dump files on an encrypted file system. in order to do that, i encrypted my file system by geli command and sure that is done correctly because when i install base and kernel on it, freebsd start up successfully. problem is here: when i restore my dump files and restart my freebsd, boot PXE menu is shown and i select my freebsd but after that, the error message invalid format occurs and i see this message: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: it selects the default kernel correctly and after some seconds an error message is shown which consists of some hardware addresses. i don't know how to fix it. any hints that might fix my problem are appreciated.

You could try to let us know what kind of error message you get (i.e. the exact wording). ;-) My guess (out of the blue) is that kernel and modules are now out of sync. This happens when you restore the modules from backup but use a newer kernel (or vice-versa). If you restore stuff from backup, make sure you don't restore anything under your freshly (re-)installed /boot. Or make sure you restore *everything* into /boot, and not just some parts of it. /boot has to be consistent; either everything from the new install, or everything from the backup up install, but not a mix of both. As others pointed out, you need to provide more detailed infos about your backup and restore procedure. It it impossible to guess correctly what you have done otherwise. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ 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
how restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system?
hello guys, I backed up my freeBSD 8.2 box by dump command and now want to restore this dump file on an encrypted file system (i used geli to encrypt my file system) but do not know how to do that. is there any way or command to restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system? i tried to restore my dump file as when file system is unencrypted. this is what i've doe: I decrypted my encrypted file system by geli attach command, then mount it and restore dumps. but when i restart my system, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly (PXE boot menu is shown and when i select freeBSD, boot.config runs but nothing happend). please let me know how i can fix it or if i do something wrong. yours, sam ___ 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

thanks Fabian for your answer. i don't know what exactly information is needed but i tell what i did up to now. i have two partition, one is encrypted and the other one is not. the unencrypted partition has boot folder. when i copy FreeBSD base system files, FreeBSD start up correctly but when i restore dump files, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly. i hope this information help to understand what is wrong. thanks On 9/29/12, Fabian Keil freebsd-lis...@fabiankeil.de wrote: s m sam.gh1...@gmail.com wrote: I backed up my freeBSD 8.2 box by dump command and now want to restore this dump file on an encrypted file system (i used geli to encrypt my file system) but do not know how to do that. is there any way or command to restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system? i tried to restore my dump file as when file system is unencrypted.
