Re: Proper way to share ZFS via NFS
which is why you shouldnt use /etc/exports for zfs datasets.

Does KMS work with gen 2 Intel graphics on FreeBSD 9.1?
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 9.1 on an old IBM Thinkad X30 equiped with Intel 830MG graphics chip (gen 2). The graphics works fine, but I'm wondering if the driver really uses KMS or just switches back to some legacy routine. Is there any way I can check it?

ZFS _encourages_ the use of its own toolset instead of those known from UFS. This includes the file system handling as well as backup/restore processes, mounting and exporting. ZFS has its own equivalents for those things. It's probably the best choice to use the _right_ tools here. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Does KMS work with gen 2 Intel graphics on FreeBSD 9.1?
The only way to have KMS support in 9.1 right now is to build with WITH_NEW_XORG=true and WITH_KMS=true in your make.conf, do you have these flags enabled?

I see. Currently I'm using the stock 9.1 release kernel. It is rather painful to compile something on that laptop (Pentium M with ~1 GHz). I'll have access to the machine only this Friday.

Problems with stable/9 and LSI controlers?
Today I updated several systems against stable/9 that had not bee updated in ~five months. Two of the systems are serviced by LSI 2008 controllers with a RAID1 array housing the operating system. These systems no longer properly boot. Specifically, they begin the boot process but bomb when they try to mount root. Neither system sees the GPT partitions of the boot disk at the "mountroot>" prompt. On one system I replaced the hard disks, repartitioned, and reinstalled but the problem continued. I don't see any mention of geom or controller update in UPDATING but I know they have been updated because I saw their revisions fly actross my screen during the svn update. Also, I am running IR vers 16 on my controllers, which is the latest version of LSI firmware.

Okay, try the attached patch with the new driver and see whether it fixes the problem for you. The issue was that with the new rescanning code, we weren't rescanning RAID volumes that got created. It fixes the problem for me with a RAID-1 volume. There is still the issue of all of the verbose probe errors that crop up when an Integrated RAID volume is enabled, but it isn't obvious at the moment whether we can easily fix that.

The issue is very likely in the driver, not the firmware. I'm just trying to figure out whether it broke in LSI's Phase 16 or in our additional changes in FreeBSD. In any case, I've reproduced the problem, and hopefully I'll know soon where the issue is. So don't worry about trying LSI's driver. Just go back to the previous version of stable/9 that worked for you until we fix it. This only affects RAID volumes, not regular disks.

I downloaded the mpslsi.ko driver from LSI under r255451 and the system now boots. Okay, try the attached patch with the new driver and see whether it fixes the problem for you. The issue was that with the new rescanning code, we weren't rescanning RAID volumes that got created. It fixes the problem for me with a RAID-1 volume. The patch worked for one of my servers. I can't test the second server until tonight however the problem is the same. There is still the issue of all of the verbose probe errors that crop up when an Integrated RAID volume is enabled, but it isn't obvious at the moment whether we can easily fix that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Just because Not so clear, if you are using a mixture of filesystems you may very sensibly opt to keep all your export controls in one place, similarly if you have servers running multiple OSs then not having to remember that the FreeBSD/ZFS box manages it's exports differently to the Linux/ext2fs may well be a benefit.

HPN, nonecipher in 8.4
I have some questions about HPN and ssh, specifically: - does 8.4-RELEASE have HPN ssh built in by default? - if the only reason I ever installed openssh-portable port was to get HPN, is there any reason to add that port anymore on 8.4? - if I would like to still use nonecipher, what is the easiest way to get it, given a stock, standard 8.4-RELEASE install?

Re: Proper way to share ZFS via NFS
If you cant cope with multiple operating systems and their differences you are probably in the wrong job.
