            Bug ID: 247696
           Summary: Boot fails when attempting to mount with gmirror disk
                    from different o/s release
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bfriedman@emax.ca

In order to upgrade a server running 10.4 using gmirror,  shutdown the syst=
em
and removed one disk.  Installed the disk on another machine and proceeded =
to
upgrade to 12.1-release-p2.  Installed a new disk on 10.4 system and rebuilt
the mirror.
Once the 12.1 system build was stable did a gmirror remove on the rebuilt
mirror on 10.4 and removed the spare disk. Brought the spare disk over to t=
he
new system and attempted a boot with both disks present.  The boot produced=
 a
series of  "init getting kqueues resource limit: Invalid argument" messages=
.=20
When I attempted to login the login failed and returned to the login: promp=
t,=20
Syslog showed the Invalid argument message.  Disabling the spare disk, 12.1
booted as normal. Attempted to boot the 10.4 system which was on the spare =
disk
and this failed to mount /.

Brought the spare disk back to the 10.4 system and the system booted.

I believe there is some kind of a mismatch between the 10.4 gmirror disk and
what 12.1 is expecting.=20=20

At this point I have both systems running, should anyone like to have me
troubleshoot this.  My plan at the moment is to disable the gmirror on the =
10.4
system and mount both disks stand alone.  Then re-format the spare.  I would
also like to destroy the 12.1 mirror and proceed to rebuild the mirror from
scratch although I am not sure that that is safe.

Setting component to kern although it might be gnu.
