Re: Boot from RAIDZ in 8.0-BETA3?
2009/9/1 Jason Garrett kinged...@gmail.com: IMHO, unless you have a NEED to do this with the 8-BETA's I would not attempt. While I had this working in 8.0-BETA1 upon reboot I would loose data from entire mountpoints on the root pool. First it was /usr/ports, not a big deal. Then it was /var/db/pkg.. the system had no idea what was installed and what wasn't. This was a test machine, so no harm, no foul. I would definatley not recommend this AT ALL. Maybe you just messed with wrong zfs option or in wrong order and your mountpoints are not lost, but not-mounted or over-mounted? It's a little bit tricky to get zfs-root working, some things can go wrong if installation is not automated. -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ___ 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

2009/8/30 Doug Poland d...@polands.org: Shutdown, remove ad0 from the virtual machine, Power on and it see... scrolls off screen error 4 lba 4292979877 error 4 lba 4292979883 error 4 lba 4292979883 error 4 lba 4292979882 ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable Invalid format I had a similar problem on IBM x3650 with 6 sata disks. While testing zfs, I got kmem panic and after reboot same errors appeared. OpenSolaris does not allow to boot from raidz and there can be only one vdev in bootable pool, so I decided to make two pools if I need raidz or multiple vdevs: - one root pool (8G) (mirror disk0 disk1 ... disk5) - one for data and other fs (raidz disk0 disk1 ... disk5) -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ___ 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

Not sure if its required but you dont seem to be setting the bootfs paramenter on the zpool. Also in theory dump/restore should work, I would feel safer doing it with rsync or cp. ___ 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
