Re: whats best pracfive for ZFS on a whole disc these days ?
2009/10/27 Daniel O'Connor docon...@gsoft.com.au: Unfortunately it appears ZFS doesn't search for GPT partitions so if you have them and swap the drives around you need to fix it up manually. Every GPT partition have unique /dev/gptid/uuid, you can find it out with: glabel status and instead of using e.x.: zpool create tank mirror ad4p3 ad6p3 you can use: zpool create tank mirror gptid/0f32d2e6-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68 gptid/bc78a46e-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68 and you can swap disk without worries -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ___ 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
Re: FreeBSD 8.0-BETA4 IBM ServerRaid 8k issues
2009/9/10 George Mamalakis mama...@eng.auth.gr: Hello everybody, Yesterday I installed FreeBSD 8.0-BETA4 on an IBM 3650, having a ServerRaid 8k adapter, and 6 sata disks on raid-6. aac0: COMMAND 0xff80003e08a0 TIMEOUT AFTER 40 SECONDS aac0: COMMAND 0xff80003d5070 TIMEOUT AFTER 40 SECONDS aac0: COMMAND 0xff80003e0d00 TIMEOUT AFTER 40 SECONDS aac0: COMMAND 0xff80003d9440 TIMEOUT AFTER 40 SECONDS ...and kept on like that, for many many lines, with decreasing timeouts. Once the syncing process stopped, everything came back to normal (not that I have stress-tested the machine, to be honest...). But since it happened once, during this specific procedure, then maybe it could also happen when the raid controller is reconstructing its volumes; and this would be very annoying, as far as the server's efficiency (and/or maybe stability) is concerned. Same problem here, thought we got timeouts also on idle boxes. IBM support told to switch controller channel speed from auto(3Gbps) to 1.5Gbps and update ServeRaid firmware. We are currently running 5.2.0-15429 (flashing them almost monthly :) ). You can change speed in raid bios, in Ctrl-A menu. But this issue is only with sata disks, sas works perfectly. -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ___ 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
Re: FreeBSD 8.0-BETA4 IBM ServerRaid 8k issues
2009/9/11 George Mamalakis mama...@eng.auth.gr: Artis, and the rest of the guys, thank you all for your answers. Ivan, I was thinking of using one of the techniques you mention (create two volumes, install fbsd on one of them, and use GTP on the second drive), but I was wondering if there would be any incompatibility issues with tools like df, etc. In case I do this (since I only have sata drives), will I end up with degraded disk performance? Theoretically I assume not, since 1.5 Gbps is adequate for *each* disk (it calculates to something like ~178MBps); but have you tried it on your disks, and everything works OK since (along with performance)? We didn't tested speed much, but looks like you loose few MB (very quick tests with dd). We are hosting 40K+ mailboxes, on ZFS :), so we are more random-read/seek bound than Gbps bound. But yes, we are running at 1.5Gbps and are happy stable/7 ZFS v6 users and after few weeks we are migrating to stable/8 ZFS v13 with GPT and gptzfsboot. -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. ___ 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

Hi, I'm a bit confused:
I can't find this change (rev 185095) in the stable log, yet stable has some
other
recent changes related to the current posts (in turn commited also to
head)...

http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/7/sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c?view=log
maybe I'm misunderstanding how things eventually get ingto -stable,
however, which revision to use now for a peaceful world boot? :)
I'll go for the -head version for my next try..
It's not merged to stable yet. You should apply r185095 diff by hand.
Just edit sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c and change:

Re: restart a script in etc/rc.d

can you try with:
bacula_fd_pidfile=/var/run/bacula-fd.9102.pid
in /etc/rc.conf ?
There is logic error in bacula rc.d script. It should first set
default variables and only then use them.
pidfile=${bacula_fd_pidfile}
: ${bacula_fd_pidfile=/var/run/bacula-fd.9102.pid}
If you don't set pidfile in rc.conf, pidfile is so it kills all bacula-fd's
