This how a failed GEOM Gate device in a mirror looks like after a ungraceful shutdown. The load on my 15+ year old laptop was too high I guess. suddenly logged me out after like 2 seconds, I couldn’t even login directly in front of the laptop. Console messages along the lines “jid0 couldn’t reclaim memory”. Had 3 jails, 2 VMs and a deduped ZFS pool running. Let’s see if I can keep this running if the Win7 VM’s memory is halved. Perhaps it is worth having a look at rctl…

Screenshot of the output of several FreeBSD commands. zpool status shows the ZFS mirror setup in status DEGRADED since the remote disk /dev/ggate0 is not available for the moment after a hard shutdown. The outputs of sysctl hw.model, sysctl hw.physmem, grep -E “memory.size|wired” vm-config and finally zfs get all zpool | grep dedup indicate that the system runs on an old AMD A4-5000 and 12GiB of memory while reserving 8GiB of memory for one VM and having deduplication activated. A final rctl command shows that resource control mechanisms have not been configured.
