zfs

I have M.2 SSD that is currently not performing well, I suspect that it may die soon. The question is - how do I migrate zpool to a bigger drive? Of course I will make dd backup before anything. Do I just dd it on new drive, then how do I expand zfs pool? Or perhaps, using zfs send to replicate...

Hi, Since a new upgrade of my pc I've not been able to boot from ZFS if installed with the default ZFS (auto) option from the FreeBSD installer. The Bios / Firmware does not see the boot drive(s). Tried this with a single disk (Stripe) and with a dual disk (mirror). So far I've not found...

Greeting. Currently I use NFSv3 and export all dataset individually. That's cumbersome, and NFSv4 has greater perfomance and I want it I have exports like /home/user/development /mnt/s-drive /mnt/s-drive/backup NFSv4 demands a single root point, like / or / But my exports doesn't. The way I...

Problem: I have been using GPT partitions with Fat32 file system, mainly because it is said to be the most commonly supported filesystem among different systems, which I do not doubt. However, change of plans. I no longer trust the Fat32 file system. I just had a bad experience with missing...

Hi mates! After a sudden power outage my raidz pool state has changed to DEGRADED. My box is FreeBSD 14.1 # zpool status -v storage pool: storage state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the...

I'm curious what shell scripts you all have written to keep up with your storage. I'm mostly curious about the output, i.e., what insights do you find regularly useful? Here's my favorite. It's actually 5 scripts called by one alias: $ storage_report DEV CAPAC ZPOOL TMP AGE SLFTEST...

I am comfortable with the process of installing FreeBSD to zfs, when (at least) one entire disk becomes the target. This option is available in bsdinstall. I am also familiar with the process of creating a custom size freebsd-ufs slice and making that slice to be the installation target. This I...

Hi, I'm currently managing a rented server from a provider (OVH) that does not allow to natively install freeBSD. However, it is still possible and so I installed freebsd 14.1 from the official sources (the BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs version). My server has 4 identical hard drives (ada0, ada1, ada2...

Hi all.. I am trying to install the FreeBSD-14.1 on a new hardware. the booting from ISO itself gets stuck while loading Broadcom SAS3816 driver from what it looks like. https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/hardware/ does list - Broadcom Ltd./Avago Tech (LSI) SAS 3816 (16 Port SAS/PCIe) - as...

Hello everyone, I've looked through all the questions about ZFS share through NFS and did not found any solution of my problem. I am creating ZFS share on freeBSD14 and then trying to mount it on MacOS. So here is the /etc/rc.conf hostname="zfscheck" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" sshd_enable="YES"...

I have this nvd0 NVMe ssd, after a power failure, it's stuck in mountroot with error 6. I can link the hwprobe link. Anyone who can shine some light here? I just want to access and transfer data in nvd0p4. Use data recovery tool? live cd? shell? Can't I just install a new system -like...

Hi, It seems I have an opportunity to switch a laptop to freebsd. I like ZFS and would be interested in making the most out of it. I also need to keep my hard drive encrypted in case the laptop gets stolen. I heard about using ZFS's native encryption for this kind of scenario. Does it support...

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...

I wanted to boot my FreeBSD server from a mirror, but I wanted to mirror both ZFS pool and the EFI partition. So I performed this kind of configuration: # gpart create -s gpt nvd0 # gpart create -s nvd1 # gpart add -t efi -s 200M nvd0 # gpart add -t efi -s 200M nvd1 # gpart add -t freebsd-zfs...

Updating a mirrored zpool with larger disks, one at a time. Got about halfway through when the server unexpectedly rebooted (still unknown why, but that's beside the point). The device labels (/dev/daX) were reshuffled, but I'm manually assigning zfs labels so it shouldn't have been an...

Before I begin, I'd like to say yes, this was not wise of me. I recently reorganized a bunch of configuration using symlinks. Everything was going great and I was totally pumped about my new organizing scheme, but upon rebooting, things went... poorly. The issue is that some of the symlinks I...

I have a 3-way mirrored ZFS pool configured for backup purposes, alongside a ZFS-on-root pool that my system utilizes. All hard drives in the setup have GPT labels. Recently, I encountered an issue where ada0p1 was missing its label when I ran the zpool status command. Fortunately, I managed to...

question about acl permission. Files that could be deleted with freeBSD12 cannot be deleted with FreeBS13. I updated os from freebsd12.0 to freensd13.2, and updated samba from Version 4.8.12 to Version 4.19.7. via samba, user can delete/rename and file in freebsd12.0, but can't delete/rename...

I have backup on my whole src pool, stored on the server: data/backup/src_pool. Backup was made with zfs snapshot -r src_pool@migrate zfs send -Rv src_pool@migrate | zfs recv data/backup/src_pool Now I am trying to restore it to the root of the new pool zfs create new_pool ... zfs snapshot...
