RE: Problems booting into ZFS on recent stable/9
Hi Cris, Do you still have the following file: /boot/zfs/zpool.cache ? I guess that with the kernel upgrade you have just replaced that :) This is the file that you can create with: zpool set cachefile=/boot/zfs/zpool.cache pool name Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-sta...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-sta...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Chris Ross Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 9:50 PM To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-spar...@freebsd.org Subject: Problems booting into ZFS on recent stable/9 I had a sparc64 (Netra X1) running a stable/9 from late March 2013. Actually, the kernel may've been a bit newer than that as I was working with folks to diagnose and repair some Netra-X1 specific issues. But, ZFS worked fine. I have two pools, zroot as a RAID1 (using equally sized partitions at the front of two large disks), and a zdata that is a large pool of the remaining space of both disks concatenated together. After installing a kernel from a build of [yesterday's] stable/9 today, I now get a failure when trying to boot, which can be seen at the end of this clip from the end of the boot messages below. Is anyone aware of a change in recent months that might've caused this, or have any idea what I may've done wrong? In google'ing I've seen a few posts talking about ways to import the zfs pool to adjust the cache file, but I'm not sure if that is or isn't my problem. I don't think I did anything specific with configuring cache files for either pool. Thoughts are welcome. I don't have physical access to the machine for quite a few more hours, but when I do should be able to net-boot into the earlier freebsd stable/9 that I originally installed onto this host, and can try a few more things. - Chris atapci0: AcerLabs M5229 UDMA66 controller port 0x10200-0x10207,0x10218-0x1021b,0x10210-0x10217,0x10208-0x1020b,0x10220-0x1022f at device 13.0 on pci0 atapci0: using PIO transfers above 137GB as workaround for 48bit DMA access bug, expect reduced performance ata2: ATA channel at channel 0 on atapci0 ata3: ATA channel at channel 1 on atapci0 rtc0: Real-Time Clock at port 0x70-0x71 on isa0 uart0: 16550 or compatible at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 43 on isa0 uart0: console (9600,n,8,1) uart1: 16550 or compatible at port 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 43 on isa0 ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default if less than 4GB of RAM is present; to enable, add vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0 to /boot/loader.conf.

If it's the AcerLabs ATA controller, then there are no disks found. There is an earlier ATA bus (at a guess from the fact ata2 and ata3 are shown above), however I don't see any disks detected. Normally ATA and SCSI/SAS disks are probed asynchronously near the end of the boot and that appears to be missing Gary ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I took too many things out of my kernel, I'm sure. I loaded a GENERIC from the same sources and it came up fine. I'll adjust my kernel config and try again, but it's definitely not a FreeBSD problem.
