Transfer zfs pool to new hardware
All, My machine had a failing motherboard so it was decided to put the drives of the failed machine in a different machine to be able to continue service. The old server had 2 drives in a mirror setup (gmirror) and these were recovered fine in the new server, these disks contain the OS so everything is up and running again. In addition to the mirrored drives there was a zfs (raidz) volume to contain bulk data, this pool was built using 4 750G drives (all the same disks) but this hasn't come up properly. I'm not sure if the disks were put in the server in the same order and the device naming in the new machine has changed also. One thing that stands out (for me) is that the /dev/ad12 comes up twice in the 'zpool status' output (see below), I'm not sure if this is expected.. Old situation: zfs raidz containing /dev/ad10, /dev/ad12, /dev/ad14 and /dev/ad16 (working fine) In the new machine /dev/ad16 doesn't exist and the drives are numbered different: /dev/ad8, /dev/ad10, /dev/ad12 and /dev/ad14 My question is; can the data on this zfs pool be recovered? Some more detailed information is below, but I'd be happy to provide additional information if needed.

Re: patch errors
on all other servers I cvsup the src and ports tree, but for some reason the internet connection at the location of this particular server gets kicked when I start cvsup. so I had to resort to this method. I am not entirely convinced that it is a stale patch issue for 2 reasons. 1) I have untar'd the same file on 2 different servers and only this one has issues updating the ports 2) I have tar'd up the /usr/ports dir from a different server that updates via cvsup. The original server updates fine but when untar'd on this particular server the same exact patch errors appear. which leads me to believe the error is outside the ports tree itself. -tomoki On 6/6/05, Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Jun 06, 2005 at 09:46:35AM +0900, FreeBSD MailingLists wrote: Yes, Everyday I try this I grab the latest copy of ports.tar.gz from a near by server.

FreeBSD or NetBSD on older hardware (MMX)
I fished out an old laptop out of my closet. It is a Pentium 233 MMX w/ 64MB Ram and 12G HD I am thinking about setting up a small station for browsing the web. Which would perform better on such a system? FreeBSD or NetBSD? I know that this is a mailing list for FreeBSD users, but I am hoping that you will be objective and give me a suggestion based purely on performance.

global vimrc file
I have the following ~/.vimrc syn on set incsearch set ignorecase set smartcase set scrolloff=2 set wildmode=longest,list I want to set this up as the default settings for my system. under linux i think there was a way to set global vimrc settings by writing to /etc/vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc depending on the system. is there an equivalent file for FreeBSD?

Re: pf issues with anchor
After sending off the question I did a little more digging and I think I figured it out. I was reading the current pf faq on the openbsd website, which turns out to be based on OpenBSd 3.6 version of pf. FreeBSD 5.3 has OpenBSD 3.5 version of pf. Turns out in the version 3.5 when loading an anchor file you HAD to specify it as... load anchor anchor-name:ruleset-name from file-path The version the current faq was written for seems to have made the ruleset-name an optional value, so it wasn't listed in the code example. I found an older version for the faq written for verion 3.5 at. http://openbsd.automagic.org/faq/pf/index.html On 01 Mar 2005 13:19:25 +0100, Peter N. M.

tcpdump install issues
I have recently installed FreeBSD 5.3 from CD onto a couple of servers. I updated the /usr/src and /usr/ports to RELENG_5. When I try to install tcpdump from the ports, the make fails with the last line being Error: shared library pcap.2 does not exist *** Error code 1 I know I didn't have this problem when I installed 5.3 on a couple of servers last month, so does anyone know what is causing this?

backup routes
I have a FBSD box acting as a gateway for the network. I was wondering if there is anyway to set up the routing table so I can setup automatic backup routes? I want the system to try to route packets to A. But if A is down, automatically set the route to B... Is there anyway to set this up?
