zfs

I must destroy and recreate a ZFS pool. Please don't ask me why; it's a long story. The pool contains just one volume, named "depo". Of course, I had to back up the whole volume. Since ZFS replication won't work (long story...), I decided to mount two NTFS-formatted (ada0 and da0) drives and...

I have been testing my setup on an Oracle Virtual Box, Virtual Machine Manager, and VMware with EFI turned on. I have continued FreeBSD setup up to the Partitioning step, then selected shell and entered the following, # sysctl kern.disks # gpart destroy -F ada0 # gpart create -s gpt ada0 #...

My goal was to install FreeBSD with GELI and ZFS alongside of currently installed Windows 10. I am testing it on an Oracle Virtual Box with EFI turned on. I have continued FreeBSD setup up to the Partitioning step, then selected shell and entered the following, gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s...

Hi, I'm deploying my first FreeBSD server and I've run into a gray area. I installed using the automatic partitioning of the installer. zpool status shows: pool: zroot state: ONLINE config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0...

My current installation of FreeBSD 13.2 is on a single SSD disk. Unfortunately, at the time I was installing it, I had Linux running on the other two SSDs, which I now intend to use for FreeBSD. Those 2 SSD were, in fact, configured as RAID-1 mirror zfs under Linux and that worked great. Only, I...

All of this is happening on the same Comp/Box. SSD1 (I installed OS) began using the system. zfs import -F -o altroot (nv1 zfs) zfs send -vR zpool export (nv1 zfs) NV1 (I install OS) for backup source. zfs receive -uvF =========================================== When I start the OS in NV1...

I'm trying to program html and PHP pages and use an external file manager that works over SSH to edit files directly on the server. Then I refresh a page in a browser to visualize the changes. However, the web root is on a ZFS partition and there's a noticeable several-seconds delay, which is...

Hi, I have installed FreeBSD on an amd64 laptop, and the only issue with it is an apparently long-standing bug in support for eMMC storage (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211705#c3), which I would like to investigate. But I'm stuck even getting an unmodified but locally...

Just upgraded a system from 13.1 to 13.2. All straight forward: freebsd-update -r 13.2-RELEASE upgrade freebsd-update install shutdown -r now freebsd-update install pkg update pkg upgrade shutdown -r now The system booted as normal, prompting for the zfs encryption password. FreeBSD loader...

Scenario: There are five vdevs that are SATA Hard Disks. The array is fully operational and online. The file systems are mounted, but there is little activity besides the typical programs expected on a FreeBSD machine. I remove one disk. Is there ever a point where the disk becomes so out of...

EDIT: For anyone looking for the solution, it was to install the net/realtek-re-kmod package. Though in my case, since my system was not up-to-date, the critical first step was to update to the latest RELEASE version of FreeBSD. I'm replacing a NUC that I use as a server with several services...

Hello, I struggle to find an option which sets custom units to list/show datasets and zvol properties. Anybody knows?

Hello, I have Void Linux with a ZFS Root installed, it would be possible to create a FreeBSD subvolume on the zfs pool and boot it from GRUB without much problem? And if possible, use the same /home?

Hi, It's weird, my FreeBSD 13.2 lost my home folder. I did'nt do anything to the system and it just lost. I'm using ZFS and have FreeBSD pot on it anyway.

Looking for help with ZFS. I am booted into a live FreeBSD 13.2 trying to fix my zroot. Zpool import returns ZFS filesystem version: 5 ZFS storage pool version: feature support (5000) pool: zroot id: 8141163279847660127 state: online Status: some supported features are not enabled on the pool...

I have a bhyve vm running Rocky Linux 8.7 (RL). I have vm-bhyve installed. I need to test that the upgrade to RL 8.8 will not disrupt the user application running on that vm. My plan is to clone the production vm and perform the upgrade on that. If everything goes well then I would like to...

I have a zfs pool which was originally setup as encrypted. Due to some hardware errors I replaced an encrypted member with its unencrypted counterpart. In other words: zpool replace zroot /dev/ada0p4.eli /dev/ada0p4. A second drive was also replaced and so I now have this: [root@vhost03 ~...

Hi all, I have been grappling with a problem with my ZFS array for the last year or so, and it has reached a point now where I have run out of ideas of what may be wrong, so posting in the hope someone has some advice. I have a machine with 14 drives, configured like so: 4x 10TB HDD in ZFS...

I am preparing to replace a failing disk in a RAIDZ2 array. I received a heads up from our weekly HDD status report: vhost03.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca - ZFS pool - HEALTH fault NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT bootpool 1.98G 234M 1.76G...
