data04: DEGRADED – oh and have I mentioned WatchGoose?

Leave a Comment / nvme, ZFS / By /

I saw this today in my logs on r730-01. It looks similar to a previous DEGRADED even back on July 2. In this case, the device is S7KGNU0Y915666E, not S7KGNU0Y912955D as it was back then. The zpool status is: [12:16 r730-01 dvl ~] % zpool status data04 pool: data04 state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices have been removed. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. action:

data04: DEGRADED

Leave a Comment / nvme, ZFS / By /

This morning I noticed this in the logs after doing some pkg upgrade. I was mainly updating openvpn, but in that operation, fail2ban was removed (because I went from python312 to python314). I noticed it missing on one host: I ran this grep to verify fail2ban had been removed from another host: Well, this host doesn’t run fail2ban, but those messages are “interesting”. How much is nvme mentioned in the logs? [12:31 r730-01

This is the Dell R7425 host known as r7425-01. At idle, despite holding 12 x 12TB HDD, this chassis is pulling about 300-350 watts. gpart zpool list zpool status zfs list dmesg sesutil show [22:28 r7425-01 dvl ~] % sudo sesutil show ses0: ; ID: 500056b345a433ff Desc Dev Model Ident Size/Status Drive Slot 0 da0 ATA HGST HUH721212AL 8CGSV9DG Unknown Drive Slot 1 da1 ATA HGST HUH721212AL 8CGSXG6G Unknown Drive Slot 2 da2

The latest SATADOM drives contained data when I got them

Leave a Comment / Disks, hardware / By /

Today I wanted to test some stuff with the newly obtained SATADOM SSDs. I was surprised to find they still had data on them. dvl@r730-04:~ $ gpart show ada1 => 63 242255601 ada1 MBR (116G) 63 1985 – free – (993K) 2048 495616 1 linux-data [active] (242M) 497664 193816576 2 linux-data (92G) 194314240 47939584 3 linux-data (23G) 242253824 1840 – free – (920K) Well, one of them at least. Let’s have a snoop.

Creating a new zpool for r730-01

Leave a Comment / Disks, FreeBSD, hardware, Open Source, ZFS / By /

Finally, it’s time to put together a new zpool for r730-01 (the storage information at that URL is already out of date; once this new zpool is created, another post will replace it). In this post: FreeBSD 14.3 I just realized, that my previous post on the zpools for this host revealed there is already a zpool with 2x 4TB NVMe: data02: [20:17 r730-01 dvl ~] % zpool list data02 NAME SIZE ALLOC

This post documents the drive locations for zpools within r730-01. It will be replaced from time to time with a new post. To the left of a device is an indication of the drive physical location. Unused devices Unused drives/slots: Slots 12 & 13 each contain a 4TB SSD. Slots 14 and 15 are empty. Those drive cages are on the workbench and each hold a 2TB SSD. There are also NVMe devices

Consolidating the disk space in r730-01

Leave a Comment / Disks, hardware / By /

I’m writing this up to have a starting point for when I come back to arrange the free space into zpools. This post might be the end-result of a request for donations for disk space etc that went out on 2025-08-29 – I was running short of space. Since then, donations (both cash and hardware) have helped me figure out that problem. After moving the zroot zpool onto a pair of SATADOM SSDs,
