Re: ZFS booting without partitions (was: ZFS boot on zfs mirror)
I encountered the same symptoms today on both a 32bit and 64bit brand new install using gptzfsboot. It works for me when I use a copy of loader from an 8-current box with zfs support compiled in. I haven't looked into it much yet but it might help you.

Problem with graid3 and gjournal
I'm using a GJournal on top of GRAID3 on top of GPart. What happens: If I go to my gjournal mount point e put: dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1k count=10 The system freeze. No more response in the corrent ssh session, the system don't respond to new ssh connection, and the console got freezed too. So, I tried with: dd if=/dev/random of=file bs=1k count=10 The same thing. I went to an other machine, created the file with: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=10 | bzip2 | dd of=file.bz2 The file is created OK. I send the file to my machine using gjournal, and: bzcat file.bz2 | dd of=file The system got freezed again. In the same server, I have an other partition with gmirror, and gjournal on top of it. The file was created OK. Then I tried to copy the file from the gmirror+gjournal partition to the graid3+gjournal partition, and the system got freezed again. Then I belieave that there is a problem with graid3+gjournal. If I create filed in the graid3+gjournal with the VI, or send any other file (ie. /etc/rc.conf) to this partition, is OK. No freeze. Only when I try to create a file with dd. Where is the problem, with GRAID3, or with GJournal ? I'll try to remove the GJournal from this partition. But anyone knows somethig about it?

I am pretty sure that adding more disks wouldn't solve anything in this case, only either using a faster CPU or a faster crypto system. When you are capable of 70 MB/s reads on a single unecrypted disk, but only 24 MB/s reads off the same disk while encrypted, your disk speed isn't the problem. - Dan Naumov On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Ronald Klop ronald-freeb...@klop.yi.org wrote: On Fri, 29 May 2009 13:34:57 +0200, Dan Naumov dan.nau...@gmail.com wrote: Now that I have evaluated the numbers and my needs a bit, I am really confused about what appropriate course of action for me would be. 1) Use ZFS without GELI and hope that zfs-crypto get implemented in Solaris and ported to FreeBSD soon and that when it does, it won't come with such a dramatic performance decrease as GELI/ZFS seems to result in. 2) Go ahead with the original plan of using GELI/ZFS and grind my teeth at the 24 MB/s read speed off a single disk. 3) Add extra disks.

buildworld fails with WITHOUT_CDDL=yes in src.conf
Hello everybody! After today's source update I have a problem when doing make buildworld: cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -march=pentium4 -DLOADER_NFS_SUPPORT - DBOOT_FORTH -I/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../ficl -I/usr/src/sys/boot/ i386/loader/../../ficl/i386 -DLOADER_GZIP_SUPPORT -DLOADER_GPT_SUPPORT -I/usr/ src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common -I. -Wall -I/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/ loader/.. -I/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../btx/lib -ffreestanding - mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno- sse3 -c /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/../../common/interp_forth.c make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/lib/libzfs.a.

In my src.conf I have options WITHOUT_CDDL= true WITHOUT_ZFS=true because I don't use ZFS, my desktop haven't enought resources for it and I want not to build it. When I updated my OS some weeks ago with the same src.conf process ended OK. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

While the above IS a bug it should be pointed out that unless you actually load the ZFS kld it won't use any memory on your system. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Well, my current setup is using an old 2GB CF card, so read/write speeds suck (14 and 7 MB/s, respectively, IIRC), but then again, there are not many actual read/writes on / or /usr for my setup anyway. The 2x 8GB USB sticks I would of course use to gmirror the setup, although I have been told that this is rather excessive. Modern flash media should cope with enough write cycles to get you through a decade. With /var being on GELI+ZFS this point is mood even more, IMHO. A recent 8GB Sandisk U3 stick of mine manages to read/write ~25MB/s (working from memory here), so this is pretty much the maximum USB 2.0 is giving you.
