Yay, I actually have a BSD related question. Sort of. I know nothing about BSD. I installed FreeNAS just to try it out. I tried it several years ago and didn’t like it. I’ve been running Fedora with ZFSonLinux since then, but I wanted to try something new.
On that Fedora system the ZFS pool was always degraded because a disk had “too many errors.” I could never really determine if the disk was actually bad because SMART said it was fine.
Anyway, since I installed FreeNAS, whenever I cold boot the server, and all the drives spin up from being off, I see this:
There isn’t a device ID shown in the error, but try mpsutil show devices.
The error itself is coming from the HBA trying to get an ID from a device and failing.
The command might tell you which device is causing problems by process of elimination.
I don’t have a problem, yet, but I am curious about ZFS and two drives of different speeds. The size is the same, 256 that equates to 224. But the speeds are off by 100 Mbps or so, on most benchmarks.
I’m curious if a RAID1 will cause issues with this. I’ve read conflicting answers, but most answers have suggested that this isn’t a major issue.
Welp. Just unplugged and replugged all eight SATA connectors into the two hotswap cages, both 8087 connectors to the HBA card, and removed and reinstalled all eight drives one at a time.
No more error. Guess I don’t have a small BSD problem. Now on to making the pool.
okay, so i got my omniOS VM going but im not sure how to get networking going:
ping 8.8.8.8
returns 8.8.8.8 is alive
but pfexec pkg refresh return unable to contact valid package repository encountered the following error(s) unable to contact an configured publishers framework error: code: E_MULTI_UNKNOWN_OPTION Could not resolve host
I’m trying to install Gnome on rpi3b+ using pkg but it’s giving me libssl.so.8 not found, required by "pkg"
I reinstalled pkg several times and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Honestly, not much. I wanted to install a desktop environment, but failed miserably straight from the start
I don’t remember exactly which commands I used. I tried using history, but I think I had to have had it setup beforehand?
A feature I’m missing is resetting the os to defaults. Like, as they were when the image was installed. I know there are dump and restore commands but they require restore points. What I mean is I wish there was a command that just reset everything back to defaults without me having to do much premeditation
