A few days back I got my first GBDE-device up and running. After that I had a slight problem described in <20060128135327.GB58545@garfield.rz1.convenimus.net>. I already discribed this problem in a newsgroup (comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc) and didn't get much help there[1] (apart from the adive to use geli instead of gbde). So I could go on working I simply changed to the trial-and-error approach. Well, I never really got to solve the problem itself, but could create and mount filesystems on ad6s1c and I could also initialize and attach that device to the kernel, create a filesystem on ad6s1c.bde and use it normally. At least, as far as I can tell. But then I took a look in /var/log/messages and saw this: Jan 24 00:00:21 jon kernel:g_vfs_done():ad6s1c.bde[WRITE(offset=157273636864, length=131072)]error = 1 Jan 24 00:00:52 jon last message repeated 2 times Jan 24 00:02:56 jon last message repeated 8 times Jan 24 00:12:48 jon last message repeated 39 times Jan 24 00:23:08 jon last message repeated 40 times Jan 24 00:32:57 jon last message repeated 38 times Jan 24 00:42:46 jon last message repeated 38 times Jan 24 00:53:06 jon last message repeated 40 times Jan 24 01:02:55 jon last message repeated 38 times Jan 24 01:13:12 jon last message repeated 39 times [...] dmesg is also full of this (only the first line of this quote, of course). Asking aunt google wasn't too helpful this time. I found one more or less useful thread about this subject: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-11/0523.html A lot of talk and a fair bit of speculation, but what it boiled down to was, noone really knew what the problem was. There was a comment that maybe the device was full which in my case can't be since there are still som 38gigs free (of 149). Does anyone have an idea what I should do, or who I should bug? I'm not sure I want to write PHK an Email yet. Regards Chris [1] This is not a complaint, I guess noone had encountered and solved this problem before.
