retitle 685625 libgeom: segfaults on large kern.geom.confxml reassign 685625 src:freebsd-utils affects 685625 grub-common found 685625 9.0+ds1-7 user debian-bsd@lists.debian.org usertags 685625 kfreebsd thanks
Hi! I'm reassigning this because GRUB can't really avoid this crash in libgeom. I don't see anything else odd about the XML except for its size. It seems, then that 6510 snapshots makes the kern.geom.confxml larger than libgeom can handle? Though I didn't find any hard-coded buffer sizes. Since ZFS is supposed to be the filesystem without limits etc. I still think it's important to fix this. Thank you very much for your help. I suppose you could try now removing those accidental snapshots of swap and see if it starts to work again. If so, it might be interesting to know the approximate size of the kern.geom.confxml output at which grub-probe starts to work again. BTW: the script bundled in /etc/cron.daily/zfsutils has a nice algorithm for creating + keeping up to 'n' snapshots, and deletes old ones in a way that prefers to keep mostly the more recent ones, with an exponential decay. It's very neat. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
