13:34:50 i'm either foced to use zfs on linux (sucks) or exfat on bsd (sucksssssss) 13:35:13 current zfs is not supported on 6.6.0 13:35:17 *currently 13:35:58 and exfat is far more portable....and as i understand it, a widely adopted open standard 13:36:05 but in bsdland....no can do 13:39:23 broken cluster chain. truncate to 524288 bytes at 0x5bb9400080. 13:39:29 thats what bsd did to my files 13:40:02 . /dev/sdd1: files corrupted 1188, files fixed 0 13:40:14 sdd1: corrupted. directories 5930, files 64568 13:41:09 mind you, linux can still read them. 13:41:13 why does bsd exist? 13:41:41 not being facetious.....just wondering 13:41:56 it seems no one is keeping it up 13:43:29 and yet, here you are 13:44:07 useless: is the question, why doesn't your fusefs module corrupting the filesystem or just vent how linux can work with it? 13:44:19 not that it isn't a valid question, similar to the validity of "why do strange edge cases exist" 13:45:00 is the /media/flash a hard drive or a flashdrive? i am inferring by the name.. it is a flash media, likst a thumb drive. 13:45:34 i am frustrated, i apologize...been at it for days....i would love to fix this. 13:45:53 the flassh drive is an sd card in the sdcard slot of my firewall appliance 13:47:06 is there an option, to copy off the data, too said linux box, then format it in something other than exfat? 13:47:13 no space 13:47:24 okay 13:47:34 oh, yes i can use a different filesystem, sorry...just not on the firewall 13:47:44 i was previously using zfs 13:48:02 i am not trying to NOT fix the issue.. just trying to minimize your data corruption, while we evaluate the exfat issues. 13:48:10 but i also keep my linux distro up to date, and right now that doesnt allow zfs 13:48:29 that is a different issue, agree? the non-connecting zfs. 13:48:37 exfat should be widely supported i would think 13:48:48 i'd rather not use zfs on linux anymore 13:48:54 i would agree also but we got the edge case dkeav referred to 13:49:30 i'll admit it..this is an edge case due to my installation of ports on opnsense 13:50:10 so you're not even asking for freebsd help so much as opnsense help? 13:50:17 its freebsd 13:50:34 it's freebsd "based" 13:50:39 FreeBSD gw.localdomain 13.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3 stable/23.7-n254818-f155405f505 SMP amd64 13:50:45 we are in a gray area here 13:51:02 that is like saying a bmw is a car so why isn't my toyota acting like my bmw because it is both based on a car 13:51:04 opnsense is an application 13:51:17 i disagree 13:51:39 but we got some more information, opensense was installed, you installed from /usr/ports and not a pkg 13:51:42 right? 13:51:47 yes 13:51:53 my tongue in cheek comment was not warranted, my bad 13:52:27 i do not have experience with opensense but troubleshooting should follow a process, what compile options did you use for opensense? 13:52:39 do i need to install fusefs-ntfs? 13:52:57 opnsense handles the kernel, sorry 13:53:07 i installed fusefs-exfat 13:53:25 can you moutn any other exfat related filesystems? or have any other ones available? 13:53:35 this one mounts fine. its the only one i have 13:53:49 mounting works great, until you try to access something. 13:53:52 but then it corrupts itself, even when mounted ro 13:54:05 yes 13:54:16 well, i can access things initially 13:54:24 and file says they look good 13:54:49 okay, thanks for the patience of explainging this. We have a opensense application, compiled by ports, that is trying to access a exfat filesystem, this filesystem can mount and upon trying to connect to this mount on a freebsd client it corrupts? 13:54:57 is this a correct summary? 13:55:05 but then....i start my dlna daemon which tries to index the files and it only gets so far before the device becomes 'not configured' 13:55:18 voy4g3r2, sorry, no 13:55:30 only fusefs-exfat is compiled from ports 13:56:10 opnsense is not involved other than the fact that they configured/built the kernel 13:56:23 okay, so opensense is not the root cause (that we know of) but the dlna (another application) that is accessing a partition from a ports install of exfat 13:56:36 yes, that is what i am seeing myself. 13:56:36 this sounds accurate 13:56:54 dlna is a pkg install or ports install? 13:56:59 pkg 13:58:45 okay one last summary... (i have NO experience with dlna or opensense and may have to bow out) We have an opensense firewall that has a compact flash drive (formatted as exfat/ntfs) we are accessing this file system through a /usr/ports install of fusefs. We can mount the filesystem on the opensense applicance/application. When i try to introduce another application, dlna, the filesystem is "corrupted" 13:58:51 (dlna is pkg isntalled) 13:59:29 yes...this even happens when the fs is mounted ro 14:00:21 okay, how does the linux comment play into this scenario? 14:00:36 jsut want to close that out, if possible. 14:00:48 i put the sdcard in my linux box to populate the files 14:01:01 i've also done this over the network with scp 14:01:13 to the same end....starts off looking fine. gets corrupted. 14:01:20 could the media be bad? 14:01:26 brand new sandisk 14:01:44 do we REALLY need to have exfat ? maybe ext4? 14:01:46 or ufs? 14:01:49 not that it couldnt,b ut i doubt that 14:01:59 exfat is portable 14:02:18 lets me transport my music collection and use it elsewhere 14:02:40 okay, we can tackle that later 14:02:47 i think the first is to see if we can test that drive 14:02:59 yes, this is frustrating, but we will get there 14:03:16 i'm willing to reformat it 14:03:49 okay, doing a quick duckduckgo.com search , i search for badblocks.. it is a utility on linux that can check, media. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Badblocks 14:03:50 Title: badblocks - ArchWiki 14:04:06 would you be able to give this a shot, i am not aware of a freebsd based one.. hld up 14:04:23 https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/badblocks-check.41584/ 14:04:24 Title: badblocks check | The FreeBSD Forums 14:04:28 i try to keep my linux distro gentoo-only 14:04:29 this looks (just scanned, did not test) 14:04:48 you are a compiling rebel.. haven't used that distribution since university days in 2000s 14:05:00 omg man 14:05:05 it is the best thing since linux 14:05:28 we can go down that rabbit hole at another time, could you try that freebsd post instruction? 14:05:36 one hyphenated word: dependency-resolution 14:05:44 no one can touch gentoo on that one 14:05:56 i will try it. one sec. 14:06:00 thanks! 14:06:25 i like getting worked done, not compiling all day, so i buy macs :) 14:06:54 thats never an issue. my machine is 10 years old and compiles in a snap! 14:07:19 linux kernel takes about a minute. maybe 2 14:07:54 smartmontools has been installed 14:09:29 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error 14:09:29 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition 14:09:29 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: NOT READY asc:3a,0 (Medium not present) 14:09:29 (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Error 6, Unretryable error 14:09:34 ooops might need to reboot 14:10:19 lol 14:10:20 that was my question 1 hour ago 14:10:23 anyway to reinitialize without reboot? 14:10:33 i would default to babz response :) 14:10:35 this just happened because i removed the card 14:10:48 sort of need the card to do the formatting.. it is pre-requisite 14:12:39 yeah its broken. brb 14:23:20 well that was interesting 14:23:32 how'd i get in before without registering? 14:23:51 i dont think a flash card has any s.m.a.r.t. features 14:23:51 smartclt cant find the device 14:23:51 lets step back a moment... i'm using a partition (da0s1) ...most tutorials are using the raw device. am i wrong? 14:23:51 welcome back 14:24:08 thx :) 14:25:31 that i do not know the answer to.. but maybe a reformat of the drive? see if we can replicate the corruption? 14:25:44 . /dev/da0s1: Unable to detect device type 14:26:12 okay. there's no mkfs.exfat on freebsd tho 14:26:51 that is correct, you have to leverage the fusefs module to do that 14:26:55 and theres no exfat-utils in ports 14:27:06 ok, not sure how that's done 14:27:18 https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/mounting-exfat-usb-with-freebsd.84671/ 14:27:19 Title: Solved - mounting exFAT usb with freebsd | The FreeBSD Forums 14:27:44 i've read that page _so_ many tmies 14:28:26 it must be obsolete, cuz none of that works 14:28:52 i cant get the fusefs module to load at boot at all 14:29:12 the stars are aligning and God is saying..
