dhclient regression? 4.3 - 4.4

I have an i386 box that used to be running 4.3-stable and was recently upgraded to 4.4 using a CD and following the instructions. Everything seemed to be working fine including rum wireless in its primary location. However, a previously working configuration in an alternate location now

2) in an earlier message you indicated that there was some kind of RAID on this system, I think it is safe to say that it is a BIOS-assisted software RAID, which COULD be causing you problems if it is still configured in the BIOS. And even if it isn't causing this problem, it WILL bite you

Re: bioctl and RAID0 -- RAID1+0 and 0+1?

2008-11-30 Thread Manuel Ravasio
I read that softraid now supports RAID0 and RAID1 only. I'm thinking of adding two more disks to the i386 pc I wrote about in this thread. Would a RAID 1+0 or 0+1 supported in this case? I can think of a procedure like this: - fdisk and disklabel all 4 disks with a single RAID partition - create

Another bioctl related question, right out of curiosity. What happens when one or more disks in a RAID fail? I mean, I suppose some kind of error messages will be logged and/or sent to console. I also imagine bioctl softraid? will show useful messages. Can anyone point me to some documentation

This will work although I have not written all the magic to make it pretty. I will at some point make this into an actual raid type so that it is a single create statement instead of several. I do not recommend using it this way. On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 01:22:55PM -0800, Manuel Ravasio wrote:

Softraid will not print anything. It will mark a disk offline and if the discipline does not support redundancy it will mark the volume offline as well. bioctl will tell you what is going on. On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 01:26:24PM -0800, Manuel Ravasio wrote: Another bioctl related question, right

Just because you have a cheap 500G disk doesn't mean you need to allocate all or most of it. For one, the bigger the disk, the longer it takes to fsck after you trip over the power cord. Wait for fsck? So OpenBSD doesn't have background fsck? :-(
