zfs

Hello, I have to create an encrypted dataset, my configuration is as follows: freebsd-version -ukr 13.1-RELEASE-p3 13.1-RELEASE-p3 13.1-RELEASE-p5 zfs version zfs-2.1.4-FreeBSD_g52bad4f23 zfs-kmod-2.1.4-FreeBSD_g52bad4f23 and I would like the key to be on a remote server, for this and...

I’ve got 4 1tb 5400rpm drives and 3 256gb ssds- all sata. I can install any 4, maybe 5. I was reading up on zfs raid levels and it’s a little confusing. Do I install FreeBSD on one of the ssds and then create a set of mirrored vdevs out of the four hdds, or a single mirror out of the other 2...

So, I just wanted to fix up my "playground" host. Back then, I used boot environments "incorrectly". i.e. what I did whenever I performed an upgrade or some test I wanted to be able to roll-back from is this: Create new BE Activate new BE Reboot Do critical stuff Then either roll back to...

I'm not sure it's fun, but I didn't think it'd be painful. However, when I went to import my zpool, I got: zpool import pool: zfs id: 1387220501496143749 state: UNAVAIL status: The pool can only be accessed in read-only mode on this system. It cannot be accessed in read-write...

I am curious about what happens if a snapshot become corrupted for some reason or another (solar flare who knows!). Does that mean every following snapshot would be unusable? What is the parent/child relationship? What is the safeguards in place to help prevent this? If this is the case would...

Hi there, I have a file, it's 2 TB in size. The sender said: this is a zfs poolfile. I did setup a Ubuntu 22.04 in VirtualBox, connected the USB drive with the 2 TB ZFS poolfile, mounted it in Ubuntu and typed in: fdisk -l zfsfile01. Ubuntu said: toor@toor-ZFS:/media/sf_E_DRIVE$ sudo fdisk -l...

Hello. Trying to install FreeBSD 13.1-Release (FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso) with configuration: Partitioning: Auto (ZFS) Partition Scheme: MBR (BIOS) Pool Type/Disks: stripe: 1 disk And I found that after the first reboot the system does not boot and a message is displayed: "Missing...

Issue: System will lock up on on file transfers(sometimes) to a External USB drive. HDD: Segate IronWolf 4TB, GELI encrypted with ZFS pool on it usb chipset: ASM1153E Memory: 32GB DDR4 PNY CPU: Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE Description: External USB 3.1 drive using ASM1153E IC will lock up the entire...

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...

So, I have been experimenting with methods for providing "clustering" on ZFS for a while now and I recently purchased a Supermicro 6036ST-6L Shared Storage Bus system. It's provides an interesting opportunity as both nodes in the host can share the storage via SAS, and the SAS topology seems...

I recently changed my root ZFS from a mechanical HDD to a smaller SSD. I did it with "syncoid" as syncoid -r zroot zroot2, but some mountpoints were not preserved. But I think my mountpoints are messed up, here's what they look like: zroot 101G 107G...

Hello, I found myself in a situation where I don't know where to start. I have a 3,5" spinning rust disk placed in an external USB enclosure. I am using this disk for backups (I am learning how to do this nicely and automatically via zfs export | zfs import and a bunch of scripts). The problem...

I have been reading about ZFS-ZIL/SLOG, I understand how it works and the benefits it provides, but I am confused when ZIL is used. When an application needs a sync write, data is written to ZIL which if I have understood correctly is located in pool disks, so why don't use the pool directly if...

On my Thinkpad T440p laptop performance is very poor. Even xterm opens with a slight lag. And this despite the fact that the xmonad window manager is used. I must say that in general this is a pretty peppy laptop with top configuration for 2015 (i7 haswell + 16gb ram + ssd samsung pro), if you...

I'd like to set up a FreeBSD installation with only my home directory encrypted. I've fiddled with GELI, and I'd like the machine to be one I can reboot remotely, so typing a password in at boot is a non-starter. I'm aware that it's possible to do an encrypted user directory that is...

Hello everybody, I've set up a storage server with the following ZFS pool configuration: NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT storage ***** ***** ***** - - 7% 16% 1.00x ONLINE - raidz1 ***** ***** *****...

Hi @ll, Is anyone experiencing any issues with pefs with ZFS on 13.1-RELEASE-p2? I just upgraded to 13.1-RELEASE-p2, all packages have been upgraded as well. I'm using pefs to encrypt my home directory, but now I get some really strange behavior on every file operation. When I login using...

Hey all, Somewhat new to freeBSD here. Apologies in advance if this question is already answered somewhere (I have looked) or if this isn't the right venue. If that is the case, kindly let me know! Anyhow, so I have a FreeBSD 13.1 server hosting a bunch of jails and some Bhyve VMs. I created...

Hi, I want to move the entire OS (GELI+ZFSOnRoot) to another disk. I had execute these commands to make this happen: Setup my new disk partition table (similar to old one): gpart create -s gpt nvd0 gpart add -a 1M -s 260M -t efi -l efiboot1 nvd0 gpart add -a 1M -s 4G -t freebsd-swap -l swap1...

Hey, I'm looking for help to make good use of the hardware I have on my media server, which stores lots of large files: primarily 4k video, but also lots of VM backup and OS images. This is a read-heavy system, so read throughput to the network is my main goal. Any hints you can give me on...
