I would look into it but i might need some help.. I've been looking for a geom project lately. Maybe this would be a nice idea. But i need some insight in have the msg's are passed on up and down the geom layer. /Soeren -- Soeren Straarup | aka OZ2DAK aka Xride FreeBSD committer | FreeBSD since 2.2.6-R If a program is not working right, then send a patch From owner-freebsd-geom@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Oct 12 00:33:34 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-geom@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-geom@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A5D9B16A403 for ; Thu, 12 Oct 2006 00:33:34 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from spork@bway.net) Received: from xena.bway.net (xena.bway.net [216.220.96.26]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F172443D8B for ; Thu, 12 Oct 2006 00:33:29 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from spork@bway.net) Received: (qmail 28316 invoked by uid 0); 12 Oct 2006 00:33:28 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO office-dhcp-30.bway.net) (spork@bway.net@216.220.107.30) by smtp.bway.net with (DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA encrypted) SMTP; 12 Oct 2006 00:33:28 -0000 Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 20:33:25 -0400 (EDT) From: Charles Sprickman To: freebsd-geom@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Subject: gmirror flags?

So far I'm finding it really easy to setup and use, and the abuse I've subjected my first test machine to has convinced me it's pretty resilient. Great work, Pawel! One thing I'm not finding documented that's got me a little puzzled is the "Flags" field in the "gmirror list" output. I dug around in the source a bit, but I'm not fluent enough to find the answer there... I noticed that on a newly-created, or newly-booted array that all providers are marked "DIRTY". After some time that changes to "NONE". What does "DIRTY" mean in this context? And just a quick one, I was able to setup a mirror on a remote box without dipping into single-user. It worked without issue (build kernel with geom_mirror, label first disk, edit fstab, reboot, add second disk to array). I'm guessing this might not be recommended, but what are the risks in doing this on a live machine? In my case it was a fresh install and I would not be seeing the box in person for a week... so I went for it since I was getting antsy to try this out.

This and other quite basic gmirror questions come quite often and I think they are not in the man pages. Wouldn't it be good if they are added there?

My disk was a removable one, so attaching it to the system would bring the system down when gmirror tasted the disk. Since all I really wanted was to mount the underlying filesystems to copy data off the disk, I found myself wanting for a way to tell gmirror to simply not taste the disk when it was inserted. I worked around my problem and got my data, but I still wondered: Is there a way to tell gmirror or geom to completely ignore a particular disk? If I could have done that, presumably I could have written new gmirror labels to this disk - overwriting the corrupted ones - and gone on my merry way. -Snow From owner-freebsd-geom@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Oct 14 18:56:00 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-geom@hub.freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-geom@hub.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E451716A403; Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:56:00 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from linimon@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9BA2F43D68; Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:56:00 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from linimon@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (linimon@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k9EItv9q000419; Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:55:57 GMT (envelope-from linimon@freefall.freebsd.org) Received: (from linimon@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.13.4/8.13.4/Submit) id k9EItvRV000415; Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:55:57 GMT (envelope-from linimon) Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:55:57 GMT From: Mark Linimon Message-Id: <200610141855.k9EItvRV000415@freefall.freebsd.org> To: linimon@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-geom@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/104389: [geom] [patch] sys/geom/geom_dump.c doesn't encode XML entities X-BeenThere: freebsd-geom@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: GEOM-specific discussions and implementations List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 18:56:01 -0000 Old Synopsis: sys/geom/geom_dump.c doesn't encode XML entities New Synopsis: [geom] [patch] sys/geom/geom_dump.c doesn't encode XML entities Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-geom Responsible-Changed-By: linimon Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Oct 14 18:55:35 UTC 2006 Responsible-Changed-Why: Over to maintainer(s). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=104389
