Re: ad0 mountable after sysinstall, but invalid from boot mgr / mbr (7.2-R)

The root partition should be /dev/ad0s1a, not ad0s1d.
If it is, specify another boot device for the loader.
Check the examples for "rootdisk" in /boot/defaults/loader.conf.
Never seen a * after (not in) a file name?
It is possible that the * in /mnt/boot/loader is printed
by the ls command which has the ability to indicate file
types with suffixes (* for executables, @ for symlinks,
/ for directories etc.); check if ls has been aliased for
the shell on the live file system, e. g.
% which ls
ls: aliased to ls -FG
See "man ls" for more details. Look, same here:
% ls /boot/loader
/boot/loader*
By the way, the output here is colored, but I can't make
the mail message show this. :-) I have setenv'd LSCOLORS
with this value:
% echo $LSCOLORS
ExGxdxdxCxDxDxBxBxegeg
It only works on color capable terminals, of course.
So don't mind the *, it's completely normal and intended.
According to your booting problem, check if partitions
have been created correctly, and if not, and if you have
the time, start again and create correct partitions, e. g.
/dev/ad0s1a on /
/dev/ad0s1b as swap
/dev/ad0s1c isn't touched at all ("whole slice")
/dev/ad0s1d on /tmp
/dev/ad0s1e on /var
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr
/dev/ad0s1g on /home
or whatever layout you prefer. As I mentioned before,
make sure that the booting partition / is a, not d.

I've seen many a little dlink style or similar router work fine until it has to churn through a lot of packets and then it just can't handle it, starts getting warm doing all the computation and then eventually freezes.

ad0 mountable after sysinstall, but invalid from boot mgr / mbr (7.2-R)
Just did an install on a disk. Never seen this before, but I made my own partitions instead of 'a' for automatic, and they came up as ad0s1c-g, instead of ad0s1a-e. Sysinstall (7.2 release) seemed to progress & complete just fine. When I try to boot the disk, I get "invalid partition", then "boot: 0:(ad,0)/boot/kernel/kernel", etc...I've tried every permutation I can think of on adXs1Y/boot/kernel/kernel at this prompt - it's wedged tight.

Well, you lied to the shell about your terminal type (thanks to your shell session, the terminal emulator is screen, not rxvt), so the shell has a right to be confused. resize(1) is installed by the xterm, so if you don't have that on the server, you won't have resize. Unless your shell implements it internally, but I don't think csh(1) does that. > In addition, the terminal that I've got doesn't > handle newlines correctly; I get a 'looping' effect; > where the prompt loops back onto itself onto the same line. Sounds like another symptom of using the wrong terminal description. Try setting the terminal type to "screen" or "vt100" (which is what screen claims to emulate, although it understands even more extensions than xterm). Better yet, don't set it *at all* and let ssh carry the environment value through from the other side. > Anyways, sorry if I missed any obvious FAQs, but this is > exceedingly annoying, as a result of the above, > it makes maintenance and work on the said machine > impossible.

Well, I can't actually test any of my suggestions, because this all works well on recent software, even when I deliberately try to confuse the terminal emulation the way you did.

Why boot manger displays '#' symbol when I press buttons and doesn't boot?
In an attempt to install FreeBSD I wrote /boot/boot0 on the harddrive which already has Windows on it plus free space. Commands 'fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad4' output ended with these messages: Should we write new partition table? [n] y fdisk: Class not found After this when I boot from this HD it displays the usual: F1 Win F2 F3 F4 FreeBSD ... But when I press any button it just prints the character '#' and does nothing. If I don't type anything '#' characters appear by itself after some time and again nothing happens. I suspect that fdisk message 'Class not found' is related.

Marketing Opportunity
Hi Marketing Team, We recently launched an ad-supported information security portal – similar to Spiceworks, but focused on IT/security professionals. If you’re interested, we are inviting some folks to put a banner ad on our site free for Q4. It’s really a Ad Partner program to test our ad servers and other features, also, to have some relevant ads on our site during Q4. At a minimum, you can get your name in front of security influencers, as well as a small but highly focused and (hopefully) growing group of security professionals. Among the audiences we are targeting are IT/security pros in the following industry sectors: financial services (including banking and insurance), education, government, healthcare, energy and utilities, manufacturing and small-to-medium-sized businesses. The site, which is really a combination of an online community, infosec portal and a social network all-in-one, is called Infosec Island. You can check it out in its version 1.0 at www.infosecisland.com. Over the course of the next 60 days, many new features and lots of new content will be added. It’s designed especially for IT and network professionals who manage security, risk, and compliance issues. Infosec Island members and visitors save time, reduce their costs of guarding against security threats and make their security efforts more effective and efficient. The free placement offer goes through Dec. 31 and between now and then we’ll be introducing the site to analysts, bloggers and press. Then, if you want to stay onboard for Q1 2010, you’ll have a choice of staying on as an Ad Partner and paying a flat monthly fee, or buying a la carte off the rate card (fee based on number of impressions). We will be tracking numbers at that point and will begin to providing ad campaign reports. Is this something you might be interested in learning more about? If so, just let me know and I’ll be happy to forward you more details. Thank you for your consideration, and please pass this on to the right person at your company (or agency) if needed.

I can now write at ~50MB/s and read at ~200MB/s, including reading from files that were written before the reboot, when both reading and writing were slow. This seems to rule out any problem with the on disk layout of data. Also, the pool read rate now matches the filesystem read rate (as opposed to reading 200MB/s vs 27MB/s before the reboot). The only conclusion that I can come to now is that caching was simply non-existent before the reboot. Comparing the result of # sysctl -a | grep zfs before and after the reboot, see below, the significant differences seem to be the twentyfold increase in "kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.p", "kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c" and "kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size". I'm not sure of the correct interpretation of these, but if they are really indicating a 20MB cache vs. a 400MB cache I could well believe that would explain the difference. I'm not sure what might have caused the reduction in the cache size, there aren't any significant memory pressures that I'm aware of, unless there was excessive content in /tmp Any thoughts?

Buildworld fails updating from 5.4-RELEASE-p2 to 6.0-RELEASE
I've been trying to update an old server from 5.4-RELEASE-p2 to 7.2-RELEASE.
So, I figured the best way would be to do this in steps. 5.4 to 6.0 then
6.0 to 6.4 then to 7.0 then finally 7.2.
So, I have ftp'd the src directory for 6.0-RELEASE from
ftp-archive.freebsd.org. Then I wiped /usr/src, mkdir'd /usr/src/obj,
did an install.sh for all the packages in src for 6.0. Then I placed my
kernel config in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/, and did make buildworld.
I constantly get a fail (whether or not I use -j3 or no -j argument in
/etc/make.conf):
