Re: RAID 1 failure

2009-03-18 Thread Ruel Luchavez
Hi..I followed what Johan Henriks post

BUT when i type a command
#mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a/mt

I get this error:

fstab:/etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory
fstab:/etc/fstab:0 No such file or directory
mount:dev/mirror/gm0s1a/mnt:unknown special file or file system

when I go to the directory /dev/mirror then issue ls, heres the filename
inside the directory

gmo
gmos1
gmos1a
gmos1b
gmos1c
gmos1d
gmos1e
gmss1f

I think there is a miss type (typo) in my part during I followed the HOW
TO,in which incase of writing 0 i wrote letter "o"..am I write?

but how do i resolve this?
Thanks for the reply...

RE: RAID 1 failure

2009-03-18 Thread Johan Hendriks
You could download the live cd

Start the computer and insert the boot cd.
After it is done with booting select the option fixit and then Live cd.

It will ask for the live cd.

Then do the following

# chroot /dist
# mount_devfs devfs /dev
>From version FreeBSD 7 You miust use mount -t devfs devfs /dev

# gmirror load
 
In the following command replace gm0 and s1a to the name of your mirror and the 
name of your / slice.
If you followed the howto it should be as follows
 
# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt

# ee /mnt/boot/loader.conf
Now you can edit the loader.conf file on your mirror.

So add the line: 
geom_mirror_load="YES"

now exit ee and exit the livecd
# exit
# exit

Shutdown the installer, and reboot your system.

Regards,
Johan Hendriks

could you please tell exactly how your gmirror is configured?

as whole drive mirror or partition?

and please tell how disk is labeled/partitioned

RAID 1 failure

2009-03-17 Thread Ruel Luchavez
Hello..

Hope there is some one out here can fix my problem.

I have fresh installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my IBM system X3100 server (2 160GB
hard drive), I have decided to do a RAID1 by using the steps
on the handbook :

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html

as the site stated you have to enable the loading of the geom_mirror.ko
kernel module during the system intialization
by putting

#echo 'geom_mirror_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf

UNFORTUNATELY, I forgot that steps now I'm facing a problem how to correct
it where in after I  restart the machine the system refuse to boot, I'm
stack on this loading:

F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

Default:F1

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: Internal video/keyboard
Bios drive C: is disk 0
Bios drive D: is disk 1
Bios 631KB/2094592KB available memory
