Upgrading PostgreSQL in place on FreeBSD

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, General, Open Source, PostgreSQL / By / /

I’ve updated one of my PostgreSQL instances to PostgreSQL 18, it’s time to update the others. This time, I’m going to try pg_update. My usual approach is pg_dump and pg_restore. As this is my first attempt doing this, I’m posting this mostly for future reference when I try this again. There will be another blog post when I try this again. Which should be soon. This paragraph will link to that post when […]

452 4.3.1 Insufficient system storage

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Open Source / By /

This is a long post. There’s a lot of stuff in here. There’s no quick and dirty how-to. It’s a diagnostic record. Hope it helps. This morning I saw log entries I’ve never noticed before. They seem to have started 9 hours ago. First, this email arrived. cliff2 is one one two hosts behind cliff: [7:25 pro05 dvl ~] % host cliff cliff.int.unixathome.org has address 10.55.0.44 cliff.int.unixathome.org has address 10.55.0.14 In this post:

Updating my poudriere jail after updating the host to FreeBSD 15.0

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

This post is related to Upgrading a FreeBSD 14.3 host to FreeBSD 15.0 which I wrote and ran earlier this evening. I’m now back from my Indian dinner and watching the Superbowl (0:15 left in the 2nd half). I was updating r730-01 and got to the point of where I need to updated the packages on the host. I couldn’t do that. I hope my own FreeBSD pkg repo. What I did before

bash: line 1: /usr/local/sbin/rrsync: No such file or directory

Today I got this message in the logs: The rest of the message told me it was a cronjob run by the rsyncer user on my x8dtu host. Looking at that cronjob I found: [rsyncer@x8dtu ~]$ crontab -l # use /bin/sh to run commands, overriding the default set by cron SHELL=/bin/sh # mail any output to `dan’, no matter whose crontab this is MAILTO=dan@langille.org # take a local copy of the bacula stuff

Copying everything off a zpool, destroying it, creating a new one, and copying everything back

1 Comment / FreeBSD, Open Source, syncoid, ZFS / By /

I have a problem with a zpool. To be clear, this really isn’t a problem. I’m not aware of any I/O throttling etc. It is just something I would like to change. [18:26 r720-02 dvl ~] % zpool status data01 pool: data01 state: ONLINE status: One or more devices are configured to use a non-native block size. Expect reduced performance. action: Replace affected devices with devices that support the configured block size, or

Making room to creating a raidz2 from 8x 4TB devices – here. we. go.

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

It’s time. Time to create the 8x 4T raidz2 zpool. That doesn’t happen in this post, hopefully the next one. But first, I have to move some stuff around, to free up all the 4TB devices. The host has 4 devices (NVMe) and I moved in two more, 4TB SSDs. From /var/log/messages: Dec 9 00:24:29 r730-01 kernel: mrsas0: System PD created target ID: 0xc Dec 9 00:24:29 r730-01 kernel: mrsas0: System PD created

PostgreSQL: MD5 password support is deprecated – updating the user passwords

Leave a Comment / General, PostgreSQL / By / /

Eight years ago, PostgreSQL introduced scram-sha-256 hashes for passwords. Eleven months ago, MD5 was deprecated. Yesterday, I got caught up with all this. Some of this post will deal with how I fixed it, but mostly it is documenting (for myself) what I did. The fix covers several services and takes place over multiple days. First, some background on why this change has come into focus for me. I have a FreeBSD jail

What will I do with those 2 x 1TB drives?

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

During zfs: setting compression and adding new vdevs I replace 2x 1TB drives with 2x 4TB drives. This afternoon as I was taking laundry down to the basement, I realized: I have two unused drives in the host. Either I remove them or I repurpose them. I know I have 4x 1TB drives (two SSDs and two NVMe). I could make a 2TB mirror out of them. Where can I use them? r730-03
