Well, I'm trying to find a solution to this problem - I already spend 6
whole days in testing, downloading and reading "FM"s, "HowTo"s and
Mailinglists. I don't want to waste the time of others, so giving as lot
information as possible and do the testing is the least I can do.
I downgraded the SAN from 1Tb to 200GB:
------------------------------------------------------------
web3# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=26108 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=26108 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
------------------------------------------------------------
Partition:
0 63 62 - 12 unused 0
63 419424957 419425019 da0s1 8 freebsd 165
419425020 5380 419430399 - 12 unused 0
1) Result of newfs in compatible mode:
419256288
internal error: can't find block in cyl 0
2) Result of newfs in dangerously dedicated mode:
..., ..., ...
419256288
cg 0: bad magic number
ZFS remains the same (all cases: before and after umounting the volume
via "zfs umount" executing the "/etc/rc.d/zfs stop" - sync before and
after zfs stop). When starting the zfs without rebooting, the FS is
still ok. After reboot the FS is broken again.
Again the fdisk output before the SAN was downgraded:
