Dexter's Law: Only proprietary software vendors want proprietary software and only fascists want fascism. Toots are my own. Self-employed. Father of three.
I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor and Latvia.
@Aaron_DeVries
While doing environmental testing on a helicopter payload, I learned that NVMe drives (and perhaps all SSDs) can write data at high ambient temperatures >40 C, but the data is less permanent than if you write data at normal ambient temperatures.
So on hot days we had to hurry and copy our 4TB drives after the flight because the data had a half-life of a dozen hours or so.
That phenomenon is already documented, but I don't think it's widely known.
and then, BAM!, everything I thought I understood yesterday about ESP (EFI system partition) on RAID goes down the drain when seeing this warning in the ARCH documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_system_partition
Which would explain why several people said they "keep the partition content in sync" some other way.
From the There-Might-Be-More-Than-One-Way-To-Do-This dept.
Finally getting back to my 72-disk draid bhyve VM for #openzfsmastery.
Turns out that setting ahci_device_limit="8" in the vm-bhyve config let it boot just fine.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions, but especially @dch for this one!

SO THE SN770 IS THE ISSUE?
ZFS[64318]: pool I/O failure, zpool=logic-pool error=6 │
I have an issue with my system that started a few days ago. I have two NVME drives connected to a SuperMicro AOC-SLG3-2M2 PCIE card I had been using for months (only in production for a couple of months though, through a progressive ramp up), but they both started to generate errors on FreeBSD a...
Today I shut down another one of my Proxmox VE VMs, after migrating the last of it's jails (NSD, Unbound, AdGuard Home, and the 2nd HAProxy carp instance) to my HP t620 thin client.
This little machine has been running my new Zabbix Server for the last 6 months.
I've also set up automated ZFS replication on my main FreeBSD server to back up all the data on it every night, so I don't have to worry about the single SSD dying anymore.
Now only NetBox (Ubuntu LXC) and the Minecraft Server (Windows Server 2022) remains on Proxmox, the former will be migrated to a VNET jail, the latter to a bhybe VM.
Let's see how long that'll take me... 🫠
