Never mind -- I figured out the problem -- the system recently went
to a securelevel that does not allow disk writing...
At least this thread will be archived for future numbskulls like me
to have as a reference...
Thanks

Hi
Tonight I was trying to create a new disk backed /dev/md device to
add some space to a jail for some sa-exim based greylisting tuple
storage.
I create the disk file using dd just fine. I then use
/sbin/mdconfig -a -t vnode -f disk_file_storagel -u 2506
and I do get a /dev device
ls -al /dev/md250*
crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 250 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2500
crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 253 May 31 00:27 /dev/md2501
crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00010000 May 31 00:27 /dev/
md2502
crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x00010003 May 31 00:27 /dev/
md2503
crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 0x0001006e May 31 00:27 /dev/
md2506
For some reason the dev device flags are a lot different, but it
does exist.
I then go to label it using the example from the Handbook
disklabel -r -w md2506 auto
(bsdlabel)
I then get
bsdlabel: Geom not found
I have no idea what it is talking about.
This worked earlier today when I created a new jail and created a
new file backed md device to house it.
What is going on and what am I doing wrong?
some more info
geom knows about the md dev
Geom name: md2506
Providers:
1. Name: md2506
Mediasize: 1392508928 (1.3G)
Sectorsize: 512
Mode: r0w0e0
Actually, the one I did earlier today did not work either. I did
it as part of a script and did not notice the error message, which
is the same...
Is there a limit to the number of /dev/md devices I can have? I
have 106, 2 of which are not working with this bsdlabel problem. I
read the man pages for md and mdconfig and did not see any limits
listed.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
best
Chad
Thanks
Chad
