ufs

Hello, I have a physical FreeBSD server I installed using ZFS on root. To ease maintenance I'd like to move it into a virtual machine (VMware ESXi), but since virtualizing ZFS is not recommended, I would like to convert it to UFS. Here's my plan so far, can anyone confirm whether I am on the...

I use it for development, you know, Programming 'n stuff... :) I also use it for ZFS, since I keep backups of my friends' and family members' data. :) I also use it for other things, like when I use Linux, but want more of a UN*X-y feel. It also speaks to how good of an OS it is when I...

Hello BSD people, I would write here because the sentences are divided on this topic. I set the partition according to this description: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html The author writes: "Soft updates are also enabled. Soft updates journaling (SUJ) is not used for two...

Howdy :) If I understood correctly, bsdinstall recommends to turn off SUJ for SSD but what is recommended for HDD?

Hi all, I have a USB2, external hard drive, formatted under UFS. It was working perfectly, but after an electric black out, im not able to mount or fsck the external drive anymore. freebsd-version 11.1-RELEASE-p6 dmesg | grep ^da da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus6 target 0 lun 0 da0: <ST950032...

My configuration: FreeBSD dlna 10.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE #0 r297264: Fri Mar 25 03:51:29 UTC 2016 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ada1p2 17G 16G 18M 100% / devfs...

I'm getting the following errors on system boot: GEOM: ada0a: invalid disklabel. g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed (gp->name=ada0a, error=17) g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed (gp->name=ada0b, error=17) g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed (gp->name=ada0d, error=17) g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed...

Dear friends, I am migrating from Debian GNU/Linux to FreeBSD. I could be using KfreeBSD, but I prefer blending-edge and also become part of a community, so I will not stick to Debian, although I appreciate the spirit. The server board has 32 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, 1 x SSD and 5 x SATA disc...

Hi all, I'm a FreeBSD newbie. I did a foolish thing and resized my root UFS partition using growfs in single-user mode. Now every time I boot, it says: "Starting filesystem checks: /dev/ada0s1a: CANNOT READ BLK: 29497600 /dev/ada0s1a: UNEXPECTED CONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file...

Today I upgraded my system to 10.3-STABLE r319937 successfully. It's installed on UFS with GELI. When I double-click a VM in virtualbox, the system reboots because of a kernel panic. After autofsck, the login prompt shows, but the system reboots again while I input my login imformation and...

So I have run out of room on my FreeBSD 11.x VM. Here is my partition layout: df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0p2 ufs 4.8G 323M 4.1G 7% / devfs devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev...

I am finally migrating from Ubuntu Linux to FreeBSD! I recently removed Ubuntu 16 and installed FreeBSD 11 in its place. I have close to 3tb of data on an ext4 external HDD. My goal is to copy all of its files to my UFS drive. My Attempt: I mounted both the ext4 drive (with ext4fuse) and the...

I've run 'tunefs -m 0' and 'tunefs -o space' on my UFS hard drive, however I haven't seen any reclaimed space. The changes wrote successfully. It's a 4TB drive so I expect 3.725 TB but I'm getting 3.52 TB. Any thoughts?

Hi all This is the first time I could not resolve an issue by checking the information that is somewhere in forums or handbooks, so I really hope for your help on this: I have a hardware machine that runs release 11p6. The filesystem is ZFS on two SSDs in mirror mode. On this machine I have 4...

Hi everyone, I'm puzzled on an issue, which I've had before but this time I am really puzzled. I have upgraded my FreeBSD 10.3 machine to 11 and everything seems to be working perfectly. However I am seeing lots of this error in /var/log/messages. inumber .. on /var: filesystem full I have...

I was trying to dual boot both FreeBSD 10.3 and OpenBSD 6.0 on my machine by installing the two OS's to different disks and selecting the disk I wanted in the bios. This was successful until I mounted the FreeBSD disk within OpenBSD (and neglected to add a readonly option). The FreeBSD system no...

At work I have a 10.3/AMD64 system that currently has root on a UFS2 file system on a single disk, and I'd like to ultimately move it to ZFS on mirrored disks. However, as I'd like to use the existing disk as one of the two mirror disks, my first step was to clone the contents of the current...

Currently I have the following: # mount space/ROOT/default on / (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls) devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) /dev/da0p1 on /ssd (ufs, local, noatime, noexec, soft-updates) space on /space (zfs, local, noatime, nfsv4acls) space/tmp on /tmp (zfs, local, noatime...

Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 10.3 on my old desktop (HP XW6600). As far as I know this motherboard for this desktop doesn't support booting from USB with GPT partition (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Before I perform the actual deployment to this desktop, I'm using Virtualbox. My...

Hello there, just started to explore encryption in FreeBSD and got some questions. Trying to add encrypted partition on FreeBSD10.3 GELI/Blowfish-CBC. AES on / and /swap works fine, but I can't add an additional encrypted partition using Blowfish. Here is the way I did it: # mount -o exec...
