Folks, I've been having this message show up in booting. Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 6. mountroot> I've been using freeBSD for a couple of years as an enthusiast -my realm is mechanical, came across issues now and then -nothing the handbook, forums(similar problems)...

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...

Hi all, when adding a second disk to my zroot boot pool, I basically followed this guide: https://dan.langille.org/2019/10/15/creating-a-mirror-from-your-zroot/ My source device is ada1 and the new one is ada0, so I had to swap the device names in the commands and it seemed to work fine. The...

I want to completely replace my existing zroot which was configured by the FreeBSD installer as a ZFS mirror on ada0p3 and ada1p3. The new zroot is to be installed as a mirror on ada2p3 and ada3p3. Adding ada2p3 and ada3p3 as additional mirrors to the zroot pool, and removing ada0p3 and...

I just upgraded my machine to v13.0 without any major issues. I then decided to upgrade existing ZFS pools. Reading the handbook, I've noticed that for my zroot pool I have to also update the boot code. I'm using EFI based machine, with zroot on ada0. So, I just run gpart bootcode -p...

Hello, I have a machine with 4 HDD drives on pre-installed FreeBSD 12.2 with RAID1 for all 4 disks. Now I would like to change RAID configuration into 2 couples of RAID1, ada0 + ada1, and ada2+ada3, to have more disk space. Please advise me, a newbie on FreeBSD, the ways to do that. Thanks!

I set up a couple of jails and ports trees with iocage and pot and poudriere, which all use zfs. I'm done using these jails and have unmounted and deleted them from the /usr/local/poudriere .etc but in the output of zfs list there are still a great number of datasets beginning in zroot that are...

Greetings to everyone. Here is my problem : I just upgraded my workstation, from AMD FX 6300 to AMD Opteron 6380, everything runs fine on my FreeBSD 12.0 p10, except that my swap completely disappear. It is a real problem since I have only 8GB of ram for now on ZFS. Before I used to have 32GB...

I did freebsd-update from 11.1 to 11.2-RELEASE, but I did not have enough disk space and "freebsd-update install" stage failed (No disk space error) - so my system is screwed. I booted from FreeBSD 11.1 install ISO (LiveCD) and I thought I would rollback the ZFS snapshots on the zroot pool and...

Greetings, I recently set up a "FreeBSD 11.1 release" box. I'm now in the process of switching out a couple of disks in the zpool to bigger ones. When i started this process I noticed that my /dev is pretty much empty (including output of sudo tree /dev below). After fiddling about a bunch i've...
