mirror

Hi. Yesterday, I did zpool scrubbing my first time, then I got too many errors error about one disk, the pool is called tank and used to have 3 disks mirrored, I removed the disk that give errors and the pool has now 2 disks and sufficient replicas, but, today, I did a long test with smartctl...

conditional nmap, metasploit are banned in my country. I'm afraid to give something like this away

Hi, I had a bad luck. While resilvering a two way mirror, the other HDD threw 35 errors. I have a backup in AWS Deep Archive, but retrieving the data is costly. There are currently 46 Current_Pending_Sectors on the bad drive, which is not much when 1 physical sector is 4KB right? Instead of...

Which is the best way to host my own pkg mirror? I have a home server and thinking about host a mirror.

Hello, I am curious about mirroring some of FreeBSD's sites and as a start, read over Mirroring FreeBSD which made me more confused than when I started! Simply put, I'd like to know how (a non-jigsawed technical guide would be great), and if I need to have a registered domain. These are the...

I have two SSDs, mirror'd boot disks. They are both connected to the motherboard internal SATA headers (of which there are eight). This is how they identify at boot: Nov 29 11:55:21 sherman kernel: ahci0: <AMD KERNCZ AHCI SATA controller> mem 0xfc600000-0xfc6007ff irq 29 at device 0.0 on pci7...

This morning I got an automated email from my ZFS server that's going to demand my attention for a little while: [sherman.149] # zpool status zroot pool: zroot state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has been removed by the administrator. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to...

I had a setup with 4x4 TB disks, with two mirrors consisting of two disks each, giving me about 8 TB of usable storage space. One mirror consists of ada0 & ada2, the other mirror of ada1 & ada3. I needed to upgrade storage space, so I decided to upgrade one mirror by resilvering two times. I...

Hi, Are 2-drive mirrors really the easiest pools to recover one can find in the wild? If recovery capability is paramount to all other considerations, should it indefinitely be the best option? I'm asking this question because I recently had a 4-drive z-mirror fail to import, it was reported...

I find this page about FreeBSD mirrors but when I'm trying to use one in the `FreeBSD.conf`, It won't allow my to do that. Are mirrors that work with `pkg` different than these ones? Where can I find mirrors to use with `pkg`? P.S. Please don't tell me "pkg should install the best mirror based...

Hi All, Hope someone can guide me. I created a zpool called data with 4 pairs of mirrored disks (8 disks in total) mirror-0 to mirror-3 A disk in mirror-0 failed I have been able to remove it from the mirror-0 and replace the disk. This now shows as ada0 in zpool status with no mirror-0 showing...

I'm doing some clean FreeBSD installs and pkg is very slow to download packages (400/500 kb/s). Is there any way to choose another mirror for faster installation?

In my home PC, one of my two HDD that I have in (btrfs) RAID 0 failed. So, I am shopping for the replacement. I am planning to install FreeBSD (zfs) and set up RAIDZ (buying 3 SSDs). Now, I am reading everywhere that mirroring 2 disks (1 vdev per disk) is faster than RAIDz1 with 3 disks. And it...

Hi Freebsd Forum community, We run a large installation of Freebsd 11 and 12 servers that have historically utilized a local FreeBSD package repository mirror on-premise that we sync periodically. The method we have been using for years -- since the official repositories were poisoned a few...

Is it possibe to run bsdinstall from an existing installation (12.1-RELEASE) onto another connected HDD? Reason I ask is because I'm looking to move/reinstall FreeBSD on my desktop machine from a single 1TB HDD (UFS) to 2x 1TB (ZFS mirror). Here are the steps I am thinking of following so far...

I have two drives which are both geli encrypted and have the same partition scheme. I added both to an zfs mirror pool and created some smaller partitions in that pool. After a reboot im facing these problems: I can decrypt both drives, but only the first decrypted is shown as online and the...

How can I do that? user@serv:~ % l /dev/mirror/mirror 119 crw-r----- 1 root operator - 0x77 Aug 8 14:01:02 2019 /dev/mirror/mirro rc.conf geli_devices="mfid0p8 mirror" geli_mfid0p8_flags="-p -k /root/1.key" geli_mirror_flags="-p -k /root/2.key" mirror/mirror does not work as well.

I have FreeBSD version 10.3-RELEASE-p4(kernel) and 10.3-RELEASE-p5 (userland). I did setup Mirror RAID with two disks during installation. Now I wand to make sure that the mirror is functioning properly. This is what I’ve tried. graid status prints no results. Next, I made sure disks are seen...

I'm not a newbie on ZFS but I have never used before a RAIDZ2 pool. Now I have migrated two VMs to another host. The capacity on the destination pool has grown by the factor of two :eek: I know that a RAIDZ2 setup needs more capacity but the output of "zfs list" is a little bit curious. I hope...

After installing FreeBSD [11.2] for the first time, it seems to work properly except for updating: root@firsttry:~ # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors. . . none found. Fetching public key from update.FreeBSD.org. . . failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. uname...
