error: cannot open ‘.git/FETCH_HEAD’: No space left on device

After moving the poudriere jail (pkg01) to the new host (r730-01), I noticed this message from Nagios: That “email found in . /var/mail/dan” message is significant. In general mail on my hosts/jails is not delivered locally. It all goes off-host. That’s why I have this Nagios check. When mail like that is found, it’s either a configuration error or something local has gone wrong. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 poudriere-3.3.7_1 NOTE: This is […]

Moving one jail from host to host

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Jails, Open Source / By /

This is a quick post about the steps I’m using to move my jails from one host to another. This is bing done as I merge two hosts into one. I have not attempted to automate this, apart from the initial syncoid copying of data. This post is base roughly upon my Mastodon post from yesterday. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 sanoid-2.1.0 copying from slocum copying to r730-01 use of /etc/jail.conf.d/ Right, now,

NOTE: If you’re looking for a jail configuration for poudriere, please refer to Configuration for running poudriere in a jail on FreeBSD 14. I recently moved the pkg01 jail from one host to another. I’m having trouble getting it to build packages.

This is the host I’ve been talking about. Adding this entry to /boot/loader.conf will turn off MFI and enable MRSAS instead. hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=”1″ Then you’ll see expected device names for drives, such as da0 instead of mfisyspd0. This will be done later. The HBA installed in this host is supported by the FreeBSD mrsas driver. The host has the Invader/Fury 12Gb/s MR controller installed. There will be more drives. These aren’t necessarily the drives

I have new hardware available – should I upgrade or not?

I brought home three Dell R730 after saving them from ewaste. Two of them have 8x 3.5″ drive bays. One has 8x 2.5″ drive bays, with with for another 8. This is the one I’m considering for use. I have a fourth R730 in the basement, but I don’t know those specifications, and it already has 16 drive bays. I was thinking of replacing my Dell R720 with one of them, but just

Updating firmware etc on a Dell R730

EDIT: I’m updating this post with new information, I’m missing some photos – they are on my other laptop… EDIT: If you get stuck with older firmware which cannot use existing DELL infrastructure, give https://updateyodell.net a try. It helped me leapfrog along the upgrade path. I started reading Updating firmware etc on a Dell R720 – the details were in a Twitter thread. Until recently, that was sufficient. Today, that thead won’t load.
