ZFS server has gone crazy slow

I have a FreeBSD 11.3-STABLE server that is my router, using a ZFS mirror (of two GPT disks) as it’s disk. It’s many years old, and has only been misbehaving like this for a day or so. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong. I confirmed that internet connectivity isn’t the problem, and a

Hello. I have a Cisco UCS C220-M5 with a RAID controller. It calls itself "Cisco 12G Modular Raid Controller with 2GB cache", PPID UCSC-RAID-M5. Looking at the CIMC, it shows the PCI vendor/device ids 1000:0014, which looks to be an LSI MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3516. It looks like this should be

Compile-time check for clock_nanosleep()

Some time ago, I ported a linux program that was using clock_nanosleep(). I see now that the extra code I’d put in isn’t needed anymore in 11-stable, as it appears this call was added in 11.1. My question is, to properly protect these changes, what is the best way to know at compile time,

Yeah, this is the same panic you, I, and others have been seeing on sparc64's with bge's, or at least v240's (and one other IIRC) for many many months. Thanks for grabbing a core! When I was trying to search for a commit that caused the change of behavior, I had difficultly doing it, but

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

So, I've long known and it makes sense that when you're booted from a ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD that would initialize the network and copy the release/boot from somewhere else so
