Hi all
Last week I decided to upgrade my FreeBSD installation - it's been a while
(September 16 was last time). Unfortunately CURRENT does not boot and cash
in a weird way. Both 11-RELEASE and 12 CURRENT boot loader seems to attempt
to read blocks that exceeds the physical disk. Initially I through it was a
hard disk error - but after a "oh" experience I realised that the
"gptzfsboot: error 4 lba 921592" is actually beyond the physical boundaries
of the disk (300GB disk). In order to rule out different options - I
installed a vanilla 11-RELEASE on the 300G with a simple stripe - it also
gives the error but does boot - the LBA of the error is slightly different
on 11 CURRENT and comes up with LBA 921600
I have scanned all the disks for physical faults and there seems to be none
and I have tried doing a single disk installation on each disk - they give
the same error - Does anybody have any idea? Included Photos as sometimes it
get through to the actual boot menu but then crash in another place
The gptzfsboot does read the backup label from the disk and the GPT backup
label is stored at the end of the disk. The location of the backup label is in
the primary GPT table, alternate sector field. I wonder if that location is
somehow set to bad value…
Booting from a live CD and inspecting the label with gpart show should
be able to confirm that.
Regards
Steve
