How can FAULTED with too many errors disk of a mirror be repaired if not done by scrub for the first time?

Any luck on geli: Cannot store metadata on /dev/ada2: Operation not permitted. geli: There was an error with at least one provider. cannot zero first 4096 bytes of '/dev/ada2.eli': Input/output error

FYI, I changed sata port, and power cable, data cable for the drive and its working fine now.

I wish I would have done that before detaching the drive. Still not sure the reason of errors with certainty

gotta love SMR

Hi

The bitterness of SMR write speeds remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten

honestly for this drive, capacity trumped other considerations

Then it was a trade-off

this happens to be the rare occasion when I have to bulk-copy a whole ton of stuff to it

the first half TB copied fairly quickly, but then the performance tanks

might have been quicker to stage it to a matching size partition on another drive, then mirror it

little bug in the _umtx_op manpage

the description for UMTX_OP_GET_MIN_TIMEOUT says the result is written to uaddr1.

but the signature only has uaddr and uaddr2

I have a quick question about trying to setup a WireGuard peer (think: server) on FreeBSD. Everything is up and running but RDP performance to a Windows workstation along with anything else needing stable bandwidth is extremely slow and choppy. I've seen this now on two fresh installs and everything is basically the default settings. I am unable to pinpoint the issue if someone can please help. Thanks.

RhodiumToad vkarlsen  there a problem with SMR and is one or both of my drives something called SMR?

Beladona: What drives do you have?

vkarlsen these termbin.com/jhit termbin.com/e13l4

Beladona: Seagate Constellation ES.3?

one is seagate, other is WD

Your second link just says /dev/ada2: Unable to detect device type

vkarlsen ok now I see ada2 as ada2.eli REMOVED 0 0 0  during resilver process... Not sure if cables are bad or drive.

I don't know what the Constellation has, but I wouldn't expect it to have SMR as they recommend it for NAS. As for WD, I'd be skeptical.

I will be back after a reboot

back, here are my drives again: WD: termbin.com/jx3q  Seagate: termbin.com/ybg8

the WD drive appeared back again after reboot.

The moment I imported zpool, the WD drive got removed again and not shown in camcrontrol either. Not sure what is happening.

WD42PURZ is supposed to be CMR

ok but its faulting

bottom of termbin shows

not sure if its cable, or drive

I'd test the cable first

how

With a different cable

I tried, it went running, for a day with new cable, then what I said above happened

I don't know, I haven't been following your disk adventure. My comments regarding SMR were not related to that, and SMR doesn't cause the failures you are seeing

vkarlsen not sure what kind of errors are they. Cable or sata port or drive . pastebin.mozilla.org/9Z8AZ1YC

Is there a way to get Netflix running in a browser in FreeBSD? Video playback works fine in Youtube, but Netflix tells me it wants me to upgrade "Microsoft Silverlight".

At one point Netflix produced an error that suggested I visit chrome://settings/content/protectedContent, but as I say, I'm in Firefox...

changed cables, its drive issue I think

ATA_READ_LOG_EXT (addr=0x0c:0x00, page=0, n=1) failed: Input/output error

Read Pending Defects log page 0x00 failed. ATA_READ_LOG_EXT (addr=0x11:0x00, page=0, n=1) failed: cam_send_ccb failed

Read SATA Phy Event Counters failed

will try warranty now and buy seagate drive only

Make sure you avoid SMR drives

Is there a way to specify another ZFS mountpoint for a single manual mount of a dataset? "zfs mount -o mountpoint=/foo/bar quux" seems to ignore the requested mountpoint. I vaguely remember an altmount or altmnt property, but I can't find it in zfsprops(7). FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p2.

great stuff. out of curiosity (and also lack of my knowledge) why vendors positioning SMR as best technology? What recording technology you would indicate the best for freebsd?

ok,ventroy is better way for freebsd install.

cybercrypto: More bits per inch, but it'll cost you in write speed

ghoti: i think only chromium has the drm working, and linux only

so youll need linuxuator, as i recall

V_PauAmma_V: i think you need to set thr mountpoint before mounting

altroot is for when you import a pool

Ah, altroot on import may be what I was (mis)remembering. Thanks.

Speaking of disks, looks like my old Barracuda is finally nearing its replacement date -- bsd.to/aX7N

Title: dpaste/aX7N (Bash)

vkarlsen which one is SMR? WD 4tb Purple   or Seagate Skyhawk 3.5" 4TB  ST4000VX007

ST4000VX007 is listed as CMR

vkarlsen how did you knew?

the WD says Recording Technology CMR

I just look the numbers up on the world wide web

The manufacturers usually specify these things in their data sheets, but not always

yes seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/…-3-5-hdd-DS1902-14-2005GB-en_GB.pdf

its CMR

both WD and seagate in my case are CMR

any non-cmr recommendations?

4tb

Non-CMR?

vkarlsen ya, CMR is not recommended. right? whats the other opiton?

Beladona: I do recommend CMR. It's SMR you should avoid. Did I typo that earlier? In any case, SMR is that new "fancy" shingled way of stacking tracks that will in some situations slow down write speeds because it has to rewrite the data it overwrites because the write head is wider than the read head

*SMR* ("singled media recording" IIRC) is the not-recomm... what vkarlsen said.

s/singled/shingled/

oh I misread

I'm recovering from an eye infection so I don't trust my own writing this week

then both seagate skyhawk and wd purple are CMR. The latter just don't have advance power options. So I am good with buying another seagate skyhawk survailance drive?

Yeah, if it fits your specs otherwise

I have no experience with the Skyhawks myself

vkarlsen what brands/models you recommend?

I stick to Seagate IronWolf nowadays

ok

so that it would be good in zfs compatibility (on how zfs works)

rtprio: thanks, I'll try that.

vkarlsen: thanks. reading more about it... i see it is not recommended if intensive use is required. (auto arranging will be concurrent with write demands)

rtprio: I've installed it with pkg and I've tried using tic to install just the term info.

neither really seemed to work.

Beladona: I use them in zfs mirrors

ok

One is mirrored with an old Barracuda I expect will die soon

How do I set up "stable/14" as the tracking branch, so that a "git pull" will update "stable/14" & "main" branches? Background/Tried: tech.lgbt/@parvXtl/110951903944994860 & tech.lgbt/@parvXtl/110951974690659330

Title: parv: "Now that #FreeBSD #Git "main" branch (which was 1…" - LGBTQIA+ Tech Mastodon

parv: Did you git fetch --all?

vkarlsen, I had done "git clone <url> <dir>"

followed by "git pull"

parv: What's the output of 'git branch'?

and 'git branch -a'?

vkarlsen, termbin.com/1gvj

"git branch: * (HEAD detached at origin/stable/14)

main

Hm, I just did 'git switch stable/14' and that worked

vkarlsen, Hunh. Ok, same here; will do "git pull" ...

vkarlsen, It's Working As Expected! "git pull" had updated main, stable/1[23], & some other branches; stable/14 is at "7be29291845a 20230825-14 -0400 UPDATING: fix a vestigial reference to -CURRENT"

vkarlsen, Thanks much

parv: Glad to hear it, git can be mysterious at times o/

vkarlsen, May I credit you in one of my posts on Mastodon (linked earlier)?

parv: Sure :)

vkarlsen, Thanks. See the bottom of tech.lgbt/@parvXtl/110951974690659330

grrr git *shakes fist* etc…

Embrace the git, meena

this looks like a situation where you would be quicker to edit .git/config right away

hi, how fast is freebsd's package manager?

compared to openbsd faster?

don't know if is hould give it a try again

Did you ditch it because the pkg manager was slow?

yeah :/

maybe i was not patient enough

Was it slow on the local work or slow to download pkgs over the net?

slow to download, installed htop, took minutes

also propbably slow on the local, only an intel atom cpu

betabube: Just tested: bsd.to/qCfi

Title: dpaste/qCfi (Bash)

wow nice vkarlsen don't know why it was so slow on my machine

intel compute stick is not really good hardware hmm

already struggled setting up network

i shoudl just run legacy hardware

vkarlsen: neofetch?

neofetch. The New Standard. To share system information as *fucking image*

hihi

does anyone know how to add a term profile to FreeBSD?

yes

what do you need to add?

alacritty

I have the terminfo file from alacritty.org

ok, so it should be just a matter of converting that to termcap

infocmp?

where's the file?

redlegion: put it in ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml # if it's alacritty.yml

that's nothing to do with the terminfo

oh! ok, I didn't understand the question (but I didn't know that). many apologies.

I could set it to something like "xterm-256color" with alacritty.yml, but I'm kinda trying to set it up legitimately on FreeBSD.

redlegion: so, easiest way to test these things is to create a ~/.termcap file

infocmp isn't in the base system, but there's an infotocap in the devel/ncurses port

okay, I think I have that

I haven't tested it recently, but I'm pretty sure there are still programs that have the 1024-byte limit on termcaps, so it's worth producing a definition that fits in that

I'm gonna test it out

termcap vs terminfo was the bane of my existence.

one thing to bear in mind is that termcap/terminfo describe a lot of capabilities that often don't get used, or which are easily emulated with other capabilities

yeah, I'm not having a ton of luck with it

so I converted it with infotocap, and output the result to a ~/.termcap file but it still doesn't seem to be setting the terminal correctly

is there something I need to reset?

for example, parm_right_cursor (RI) is useful, but all the other parm_*_cursor caps should just be omitted because cursor_address works better

you need to set TERM in the environment to whatever name you gave the termcap entry

yeah, I am definitely doing that

what does the entry look like?

Title: % cat .termcap - Pastebin.com

uh

I knew I was missing something

how did you create that?
