skills: split f3s into six focused sibling skills (index pattern)
Execute plans/f3s-skill-split-plan.md. Carve the oversized f3s skill into six f3s-prefixed siblings so each loads on its own triggers, and slim f3s to a hub (38 reference files -> 10; 119 -> 73 lines): - f3s-storage ZFS/zrepl/CARP/NFS-stunnel, nfs-mount-monitor, backups - f3s-k3s cluster install, off-LAN access, ingress, etcd, r-node Rex - f3s-observability Prometheus/Alloy/Loki/Tempo, FreeBSD node_exporter - f3s-workloads Immich, Garage, Player, yChat, goprecords/uptimed - f3s-raspberry-pi pi0/pi1 NetBSD static site, pi2/pi3 Pi-hole/LAN DNS - f3s-dtail dserver deployment/ops (SSH 2222) f3s hub keeps the master Host-IP table, physical hosts, bhyve, WireGuard mesh, and off-LAN access as the canonical inward-pointing context, plus a Related skills block. Applies skill-maintenance best practices: fixes the three inlined SKILL.md duplications (Pi/webserver, DTail) by moving prose to one canonical home and keeping each new SKILL.md a slim index that points to its references rather than re-inlining them. All cross-skill links rewritten to ../../<skill>/references/ form (incl. inbound links from pkgrepo and rocky-vm-setup, and two pre-existing broken links); verified all 112 relative links resolve.

-# Backups and Local-Path Storage
-
-## AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive Backups
-
-Encrypted incremental ZFS snapshots from `zdata` pool backed up daily to **AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive** via cron. Scripts adapted from FreeBSD Home NAS setup. Also performs periodic zpool scrubbing.
-
-## Local-Path Storage for SQLite Workloads
-
-Some k3s workloads use `local-path` (k3s default storageClass) instead of NFS for
-their data volumes. This is appropriate when:
-
-- The application uses SQLite: NFS file-lock semantics cause `fcntl()` races on
- pod restarts, and `Recreate` strategy only reduces (not eliminates) the risk.
-- Cache-heavy workloads: NFS over stunnel adds TLS round-trip latency to every
- cache read. Navidrome's image/background cache init took ~19s over NFS; it
- takes ~25ms from local disk.
-
-**Trade-off**: a local-path PV lives on one specific node. If that node is down,
-the pod reschedules elsewhere but finds no data volume — it starts with an empty DB,
-losing play history, scrobble queue, etc. For a home server this is acceptable.
-The deployment must pin the pod to the same node via `nodeSelector` so the local
-PV is always reachable.
-
-### Workloads using local-path
-
-| App | Node | Path on node |
-|-----|------|--------------|
-| navidrome `/data` (DB + cache) | r1 | `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/pvc-*_services_navidrome-data-pvc` |
-
-### Migrating NFS hostPath → local-path
-
-1. Disable ArgoCD auto-sync: `kubectl patch application <app> -n cicd --type=json -p='[{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/syncPolicy","value":{}}]'`
-2. Scale deployment to 0: `kubectl scale deployment <app> -n services --replicas=0`
-3. Delete old PVC and static PV.
-4. Create new PVC with `storageClassName: local-path`.
-5. Create a migration pod pinned to the target node that mounts both the NFS hostPath
- (source) and the new PVC (target); copy data with `cp -av /src/. /dst/`.
-6. Delete migration pod, apply updated deployment (with `nodeSelector`), scale back up.
-7. Re-enable ArgoCD auto-sync and push manifests to git; push to in-cluster git-server
- (`git push r0 master`) so ArgoCD picks up the new storageClass spec.

-# CARP: High-Availability VIP
-
-CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) provides **VIP 192.168.1.138** that floats between f0 (primary) and f1 (standby). The VIP is what NFS clients and the FreeBSD `relayd` ingress connect to, so only the current MASTER serves traffic.
-
-## /etc/rc.conf configuration
-
-```sh
-# On f0 (default advskew=0, wins elections)

-Install on f0 and f1:
-
-```sh
-doas install -o root -g wheel -m 0555 carpcontrol.sh /usr/local/bin/carpcontrol.sh
-```
-
-The script must call `/usr/local/sbin/f3s-mount-keys` before any
-`zfs load-key` operation because `/keys` is not mounted by `/etc/fstab`; see
-[USB Key Mounting](usb-keys.md).
-
-## CARP management script (`/usr/local/bin/carp`)
-
-```sh
-doas carp # show current state
-doas carp master # force MASTER (e.g. reclaim after maintenance)
-doas carp backup # force BACKUP (trigger failover to f1)
-doas carp auto-failback disable # prevent auto-failback (for maintenance)
-doas carp auto-failback enable # re-enable auto-failback
-```
-
-## CARP failover limitation when ZFS is suspended
-
-If f0's ZFS pool is SUSPENDED but f0's OS is still running, f0 remains CARP MASTER
-(it keeps sending CARP advertisements). Attempts to manually demote f0 via:
-
-```sh
-doas carp backup # may return exit=0 but has no effect
-doas ifconfig re0 vhid 1 state backup # may return exit=1 silently
-doas ifconfig re0 vhid 1 advskew 254 # may return exit=1 silently
-```
-
-…can all silently fail because the kernel has too many stuck IO threads blocking
-the ifconfig ioctl path. The CARP VIP will **not** float to f1 in this case.
-**Only a hard power cycle of f0 reliably triggers CARP failover.** See
-[troubleshooting.md](troubleshooting.md) for the full SUSPENDED-pool recovery runbook.
-
-## Auto-failback from f1 to f0
-
-Script `/usr/local/bin/carp-auto-failback.sh` runs every minute via cron on f0. Checks: currently BACKUP? `/data/nfs` mounted? Marker file exists? Failback not blocked? If all conditions met, promotes f0 to MASTER.
-
-```sh
-echo "* * * * * /usr/local/bin/carp-auto-failback.sh" | doas crontab -
-doas touch /data/nfs/nfs.DO_NOT_REMOVE # marker file required for auto-failback
-```

-# NFS Auto-Repair: nfs-mount-monitor
-
-A systemd timer+service pair on r0/r1/r2 checks the NFS mount every 10 seconds and automatically repairs it if stale or missing.
-
-## Repo location
-
-```
-f3s/r-nodes/nfs-mount-monitor/
- check-nfs-mount.sh # repair script → /usr/local/bin/
- nfs-mount-monitor.service # one-shot service → /etc/systemd/system/
- nfs-mount-monitor.timer # 10-second timer → /etc/systemd/system/
-f3s/r-nodes/Rexfile # Rex deploy task: nfs_mount_monitor
-```
-
-## Deploy
-
-```sh
-# From repo root — pushes to all three r-nodes and reloads systemd if anything changed
-rex -f f3s/r-nodes/Rexfile nfs_mount_monitor
-```
-
-## What it does
-
-Three probes run in sequence on every 10-second tick:
-
-1. **mountpoint probe** — detects completely missing mounts.
-2. **stat probe** (`timeout 2s stat`) — detects read hangs / stale cache misses.
-3. **write probe** (`timeout 5s sh -c "echo $$ > .healthcheck.<host> && rm -f ..."`) —
- detects the "reads OK, writes hang" failure mode. Stunnel-wrapped NFSv4 can enter
- a state where `stat` returns from cache but all writes block indefinitely; only this
- probe catches it.
-
-If any probe fails, `fix_mount` runs:
-
-1. `mount -o remount -f` (cheapest, no disruption if mount is merely stale)
-2. Kill D-state processes pinning the mount (`kill_pinning_processes` — SIGKILLs
- processes whose `wchan` starts with `nfs_` and whose cwd/fds point into the mountpoint)
-3. `umount -f` (force unmount)
-4. `umount -l` (lazy detach VFS node if `-f` failed)
-5. `systemctl restart stunnel` + 2s sleep (refresh the TLS transport)
-6. `mount -t nfs4 -o port=2323,soft,timeo=50,retrans=3` (explicit soft NFS mount — NOT
- `mount $MOUNT_POINT` which reads fstab's `hard` flag and enters uninterruptible D-state
- if the server is unreachable; SIGKILL cannot wake a D-state process on Linux;
- `soft,timeo=50,retrans=3` returns ETIMEDOUT after ~15 s so the fail counter can
- increment and eventually trigger the reboot escalation)
-
-A hard **60-second deadline** prevents `fix_mount` from outlasting its own timer interval.
-
-On successful repair, force-deletes pods on this node stuck in
-Unknown / Pending / ContainerCreating so the kubelet can reschedule them.
-
-**Consecutive-failure escalation**: each `fix_mount` failure increments a counter
-persisted to `/var/lib/nfs-mount-monitor/fail-count`. At `NFS_FAIL_THRESHOLD=5`
-consecutive failures (~50 s), the node cordons itself (`kubectl cordon`) and issues
-`systemctl reboot`. The cordon is stored in etcd and **persists across reboots** —
-after the underlying NFS issue is resolved, manually uncordon each affected node:
-```sh
-kubectl uncordon r0.lan.buetow.org
-kubectl uncordon r1.lan.buetow.org
-kubectl uncordon r2.lan.buetow.org
-```
-
-The counter is also exported to `/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector/nfs_mount_monitor.prom`
-so Prometheus can alert on `nfs_mount_monitor_consecutive_failures` without parsing
-journal logs (warning ≥3, critical ≥5 — see
-`f3s/prometheus/manifests/nfs-mount-monitor-alerts.yaml`).
-
-Uses a lock file (`/var/run/nfs-mount-check.lock`) to prevent overlapping runs
-since the timer fires faster than the script's worst-case runtime. If the lock is
-older than **90 seconds** it was left by a run that was SIGKILLed before its EXIT
-trap could clean up (systemd kills with SIGKILL after its own timeout, bypassing
-`trap "rm -f $LOCK_FILE" EXIT`); the stale lock is removed and the run continues,
-preventing all health checks from being silently skipped forever.
-
-## Timer configuration
-
-| Parameter | Value | Reason |
-|-----------|-------|--------|
-| `OnBootSec` | 30s | Let network and NFS client start before first check |
-| `OnUnitActiveSec` | 10s | Check interval; each run is bounded by a 60-second deadline |
-| `AccuracySec` | 1s | Prevent systemd batching from delaying the 10 s interval |
-
-## Managing the monitor during an extended NFS outage
-
-During a prolonged NFS outage (e.g. while the storage host is being power-cycled or
-repaired), stop the timer on affected r-nodes to prevent the escalation counter from
-reaching the auto-reboot threshold prematurely:
-
-```sh
-# On each affected r-node (as root)
-systemctl stop nfs-mount-monitor.timer
-echo 0 > /var/lib/nfs-mount-monitor/fail-count # reset counter
-
-# After NFS is restored, restart and verify
-systemctl start nfs-mount-monitor.timer
-journalctl -u nfs-mount-monitor -f
-```
-
-Also reset the counter to 0 after uncordoning nodes (see escalation section above),
-because the old counter value would lower the effective threshold for the next outage.
-
-## Status and logs
-
-```sh
-systemctl status nfs-mount-monitor.timer
-journalctl -u nfs-mount-monitor -f
-```

-# NFS over stunnel
-
-NFSv4 served from f0/f1 to the Rocky Linux k3s nodes (r0/r1/r2) over a
-TLS tunnel that terminates on the CARP VIP. NFS itself stays on localhost;
-stunnel handles transport encryption with mutual TLS.

-> **FreeBSD 15.0 note**: FreeBSD 15.0 sets `nfs_reserved_port_only=YES` by default in `/etc/defaults/rc.conf`. The nfsd rc script (`/etc/rc.d/nfsd`) checks this variable and explicitly runs `sysctl vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport=1` at startup, overriding any value set in `/etc/sysctl.conf` or `/boot/loader.conf`. This blocks NFS clients connecting via stunnel (unprivileged ports). Fix on **each f-host**:
-> ```sh
-> # The ONLY correct fix — setting sysctl.conf does NOT work
-> doas sysrc nfs_reserved_port_only=NO
-> # Apply immediately without reboot
-> doas sysctl vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport=0

-```

-NFS path structure on k3s nodes: `/data/nfs/k3svolumes/<app>/`
-
-The `nfs-mount-monitor` watchdog on each r-node detects and repairs stale or
-hung mounts automatically — see [nfs-mount-monitor.md](nfs-mount-monitor.md).
-
-## NFS Client Configuration (earth, roaming laptop)
-
-`earth` mounts two exports (`/earthdata`, `/k3svolumes`) the same way as the
-r-nodes — local stunnel client on `127.0.0.1:2323` → CARP VIP `192.168.1.138:2323`.
-Certs live in `/etc/stunnel/` (`earth-stunnel.pem`, `ca-cert.pem`). The mounts are
-`noauto` and mounted on demand.
-
-**Mount options differ from the r-nodes on purpose.** The r-nodes are on a fast,
-stable LAN and use `hard,timeo=600`. `earth` roams on WiFi, so it uses `soft` so it
-fails instead of hanging forever when off-network. The working `/etc/fstab` lines:
-
-```
-127.0.0.1:/earthdata /data/nfs/earthdata nfs4 port=2323,_netdev,soft,timeo=150,retrans=3,nofail,noauto 0 0
-127.0.0.1:/k3svolumes /data/nfs/k3svolumes nfs4 port=2323,_netdev,soft,timeo=150,retrans=3,nofail,noauto 0 0
-```
-
-> **Critical: do NOT use `timeo=10` on earth.** `timeo` is in **deciseconds**, so
-> `timeo=10` = **1.0s per RPC**. A large write is split into many `wsize` (128KB)
-> RPCs plus a final `COMMIT`; with `soft,timeo=10,retrans=2`, any single RPC or the
-> COMMIT that can't be acked within ~1s over jittery WiFi makes the soft mount abort
-> mid-transfer with EIO. That both **corrupts the partial file** and leaves a wedged
-> NFS session that retransmits constantly, saturating 2.4GHz WiFi airtime (slows ALL
-> WiFi traffic, e.g. unrelated scp to/from earth). `timeo=150` (15s) gives each RPC
-> and the COMMIT enough slack to ride out WiFi jitter while still failing eventually
-> if truly disconnected. Drop the deprecated `intr` option (no-op on modern Linux).
-
-**Superblock caching gotcha:** Linux NFS shares one superblock per `server:export`,
-so remounting with new options is ignored while any process still references the old
-mount (e.g. a shell with its cwd inside it). Either release all references first, or
-remount with `-o nosharecache` to force a fresh superblock with the new options.
-
-**The real fix is the mount option, not the transfer tool.** With `timeo=150` the
-mount never wedges, so transfers just complete and plain `cp`/`mv` are perfectly
-safe — they check return codes and report errors normally. The one time we saw a
-half-finalized destination file, it was *not* a `cp`/`mv` flaw: the in-flight `mv`
-was killed mid-finalize by a forced f0 reboot + stunnel restart that we only did
-*because* the mount had wedged (the `timeo=10` bug). Fix the hang and that whole
-chain disappears. `rsync` (temp-file-then-rename, `--remove-source-files` only after
-a verified copy) is worth using as **interruption insurance** on a flaky WiFi link —
-it can't leave a bad file under the real name if the link dies mid-transfer — but it
-is not a substitute for the `timeo` fix and `cp`/`mv` do not "cause corruption."

-**Most likely cause**: `vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport=1` on the CARP MASTER. This happens after f-host reboots if `nfs_reserved_port_only` is not set to `NO` in rc.conf. The nfsd rc script (`/etc/rc.d/nfsd`) explicitly sets the sysctl based on this variable, overriding `/etc/sysctl.conf`. Fix: `doas sysrc nfs_reserved_port_only=NO` on both f0 and f1.
-
-### stunnel appears not running but port 2323 is bound
-
-`carpcontrol.sh` starts stunnel on CARP MASTER transition, but doesn't write a PID file. So `service stunnel status` reports "not running" even though stunnel is actually serving connections. Check with `doas sockstat -l | grep 2323`. If there's a stale stunnel process, kill it and restart: `doas kill <pid> && doas service stunnel start`.
-
-### Pods stuck in ContainerCreating/Unknown after NFS recovery
-
-After NFS is restored on the server side, the `nfs-mount-monitor` systemd timer on each r-node will auto-remount within ~10 seconds and force-delete stuck pods. If immediate recovery is needed: `mount /data/nfs/k3svolumes` on each r-node, then delete the stuck pods manually.
-
-**Note:** The monitor catches three failure modes: missing mountpoint, stat hang (reads unresponsive), and **silent write hang** (reads OK but writes block — the hardest case, e.g. stunnel-wrapped NFSv4 after a CARP failover). Watch the consecutive-failure counter via Prometheus (`nfs_mount_monitor_consecutive_failures`) — warning fires at ≥3, critical at ≥5. At 5 consecutive failures the node cordons itself and reboots.
-
-### Large file transfers from earth hang / WiFi slows to a crawl
-
-**Symptom**: copying a large file into earth's NFS mount hangs; kernel logs show
-`nfs: server 127.0.0.1 not responding, timed out` and `NFSv4: state recovery
-failed ... error = -116` (ESTALE). Unrelated WiFi traffic on earth (e.g. scp
-from f1) also slows dramatically at the same time.
-
-**Root cause**: earth's mount used `soft,timeo=10` (1.0s per RPC). Large writes
-abort mid-transfer, leaving a wedged NFS session that retransmits constantly and
-saturates 2.4GHz WiFi airtime — which throttles all of earth's WiFi traffic. This
-is a **client-side** problem; f0 itself is healthy (verified: local write to
-`zdata` ~1.6 GB/s, pool ONLINE, disk_wait ~1ms, cores 71–79°C).
-
-**Fix** (no f0 reboot needed — rebooting f0 only "worked" as a side effect of
-tearing down the wedged session, and it disrupts the k3s cluster via CARP failover):
-
-```sh
-# On earth: clear the wedged session
-sudo systemctl restart stunnel
-
-# Fix the mount options (see nfs.md → earth client config): use timeo=150, soft
-# Force new options past the cached superblock if a process still holds the mount:
-sudo umount -l /data/nfs/earthdata
-sudo mount -t nfs4 -o port=2323,_netdev,soft,timeo=150,retrans=3,nosharecache \
- 127.0.0.1:/earthdata /data/nfs/earthdata
-```
-
-Then redo the transfer with `rsync --remove-source-files` (not `mv`), which avoids
-corrupt partials. Diagnostics that confirmed the transport (not f0) was the limit:
-raw ssh earth→f0 ~3 MB/s, NFS ~5 MB/s, while the radio negotiated 97/206 Mbit/s —
-the ceiling is single-stream TCP over jittery 2.4GHz WiFi + stunnel TLS, not f0 I/O.
-
-### Checklist for NFS outage on CARP MASTER (f0 or f1)
-
-```sh
-# 1. Check which host is CARP MASTER
-ssh paul@f0 'ifconfig re0 | grep carp'
-ssh paul@f1 'ifconfig re0 | grep carp'
-
-# 2. On the MASTER, verify:
-doas sysctl vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport # must be 0
-doas service nfsd status # must be running
-doas sockstat -l | grep 2323 # stunnel must be listening
-ls /data/nfs/nfs.DO_NOT_REMOVE # ZFS dataset must be mounted
-
-# 3. Fix if needed:
-doas sysrc nfs_reserved_port_only=NO # persist the fix
-doas sysctl vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport=0 # apply immediately
-doas service nfsd restart
-# For stunnel, kill stale process if needed, then:
-doas service stunnel start
-```
-
-## ZFS pool SUSPENDED recovery
-
-**Symptoms**: `doas zpool status zdata` shows `state: SUSPENDED`. All IO to the pool is
-halted — ZFS suspends itself to prevent corruption when IO errors exceed the threshold.
-Commands like `zpool clear`, `zpool scrub`, `zpool offline`, and even `ls /data/nfs/` hang
-indefinitely because they wait for kernel IO that will never complete.
-
-**Known cause (2026-05-15)**: Samsung 870 EVO 1TB on f0 (ada1) hit 107 read errors and
-105M+ write errors during normal operation. Subsequent investigation pointed at
-**thermal throttling** in the small Beelink S12 Pro enclosure — see the Thermal
-section below.
-
-**Recovery — hard power cycle only**:
-- Do NOT attempt `doas shutdown -r now` — if ZFS is suspended, the graceful shutdown hangs
- at ZFS pool export and may stay stuck for 30–60+ minutes.
-- Do NOT attempt `doas zpool clear zdata` — it hangs because ada1 is unresponsive.
-- Do NOT attempt `doas ifconfig re0 vhid 1 state backup` or `doas carp backup` to fail
- over to f1 first — these ifconfig ioctls can also be blocked when the kernel has too
- many stuck IO threads. They may return exit=1 silently.
-- **Hard power cycle** (pull power or hold the power button) resolves the issue in ~9 s
- (Rocky Linux VMs come up automatically, ZFS pool imports cleanly on next boot).
-
-**Post-recovery**:
-```sh
-# 1. Verify pool health
-doas zpool status zdata # should show ONLINE, 0 errors
-
-# 2. Check SMART for drive health
-doas smartctl -a /dev/ada1 | grep -iE '(temperature|reallocated|pending|uncorrectable|error)'
-
-# 3. Start a scrub to verify data integrity
-doas zpool scrub zdata
-doas zpool status zdata # monitor; "scrub repaired 0 in ..." means data intact
-
-# 4. Verify NFS is serving (stunnel listening on CARP VIP)
-doas sockstat -l | grep 2323
-```
-
-**After cluster recovery**:
-- Check for cordoned nodes: `kubectl get nodes` — if r0/r1/r2 show `SchedulingDisabled`,
- uncordon them (see `nfs-mount-monitor.md` escalation section).
-- Reset fail counters on all r-nodes: `echo 0 > /var/lib/nfs-mount-monitor/fail-count`
-
-## Thermal Troubleshooting
-
-The 2026-05-16 f0 incident — and the 2026-05-15 ZFS SUSPENDED above — both trace
-back to **thermal problems in the Beelink S12 Pro enclosure**, not to any
-software-side cause. The mitigations and side-investigations (zrepl interval,
-autotrim, encryption overhead) are not what fixed it; reseating the drive and
-improving cooling did.
-
-### Symptoms of thermal throttling on f-hosts
-
-- SSD I/O slowness (writes dropping from MB/s to KB/s)
-- ZFS txg sync times jumping from <100 ms to many seconds
-- rsync / zrepl jobs going into D-state (waiting on ZFS I/O)
-- SMART reporting elevated drive temperature
-
-### How to check temperatures
-
-- **coretemp (real per-core die temps)**: `kldload coretemp; sysctl dev.cpu | grep temperature`
- - Persist via `/boot/loader.conf` (`coretemp_load="YES"`)
-- **hw.acpi.thermal.tz0**: often a constant lie (e.g. always 27.9 °C) — do NOT rely on it
-- **SSD temperature**: `smartctl -a /dev/adaN` (requires `smartmontools`; may not be installed)
-- **Disk I/O performance**: `gstat -bp -I 1s -d` (FreeBSD `gstat`, not Linux `iostat`)
-
-### Beelink S12 Pro specifics
-
-The S12 Pro has an **active cooler** (fan + copper heat pipe), not purely passive.
-Intel N100 TJmax is **105 °C**; hardware throttling begins around 100 °C.
-
-Observed ranges (coretemp per-core die temps via `sysctl dev.cpu | grep temperature`):
-
-| Scenario | Expected | Action |
-|----------|----------|--------|
-| True idle (no VMs, no ZFS activity) | 35–50 °C | — |
-| Moderate sustained load (k3s + bhyve + ZFS) | 55–75 °C | Normal for f0–f2 |
-| Heavy load (Prime95 / scrub + rsync + repl) | 75–96 °C | Occasional throttling is OK short-term |
-| **>80 °C at moderate load** | — | **Investigate**: dust, airflow, thermal paste |
-| **>90 °C sustained** | — | **Stop I/O workloads, inspect hardware** |
-| >100 °C | — | Hardware thermal throttle active; shut down |
-
-Real-world observations (2026-05-17, post-reboot, k3s + bhyve running):
-- f3 (light load, no k3s): 43–44 °C — reference baseline
-- f0 (after drive reseat + cleaning): 64–66 °C — healthy
-- f1 (full k3s + ZFS): 76–77 °C — elevated but within range
-- f2 (full k3s + ZFS): 79–80 °C — near concern threshold; physical check recommended
-
-NVMe sits close to the CPU in the small chassis — both heat each other.
-The enclosure gets hot to the touch before temps fully register in software.
-
-### Cause and resolution (2026-05-16 f0)
-
-The cascade was thermal-only:
-
-1. Hot enclosure (NVMe physically very hot) → SSD/SATA thermal throttling
-2. Throttled disk → ZFS txg syncs balloon from <100 ms to multi-second
-3. rsync / zrepl block on ZFS → D-state, hung pods on r-nodes
-
-**Root cause**: hot enclosure / inadequate cooling. **Resolution**: shut down,
-reseat the drive, clean dust and improve airflow; the disk recovered immediately
-and ZFS txg sync times returned to normal.
-
-### Remediation steps
-
-1. SSH in and check temps: `kldload coretemp && sysctl dev.cpu | grep temperature`
-2. If >80 °C at moderate load: investigate airflow and dust first
-3. If >90 °C sustained: stop heavy I/O workloads (`service zrepl stop`, cancel scrubs)
-4. Physical: shut down, reseat NVMe, clean dust from vents, improve airflow
-5. Persist coretemp: ensure `/boot/loader.conf` has `coretemp_load="YES"`
-
-### Temperature monitoring
-
-```sh
-# FreeBSD: load coretemp for CPU package temperature
-doas kldload coretemp
-sysctl -a | grep temperature # hw.acpi.thermal.*: and dev.cpu.*:
-# Persist across reboots
-echo 'coretemp_load="YES"' | doas tee -a /boot/loader.conf
-
-# SSD temperature (install smartmontools if absent)
-doas pkg install -y smartmontools
-doas smartctl -a /dev/ada1 | grep -i temperature # "194 Temperature_Celsius"
-```

-# USB Key Mounting for ZFS Encryption
-
-The f-hosts keep raw ZFS encryption keys on per-host UFS USB sticks mounted at
-`/keys`. All four sticks are labeled `F3S_KEYS` and hold all 8 key files as
-cross-host backups.
-
-Do **not** mount `/keys` from `/etc/fstab`. A missing or corrupt key stick must
-not block the FreeBSD base OS from booting.
-
-## Managed Files
-
-Source files live in the conf repo:
-
-```text
-f3s/freebsd-hosts/keys/
- f3s-mount-keys
- f3s-load-zfs-keys
- f3skeys.rc
-```
-
-Installed paths on each f-host:
-
-```text
-/usr/local/sbin/f3s-mount-keys
-/usr/local/sbin/f3s-load-zfs-keys
-/etc/rc.d/f3skeys
-```
-
-`f3skeys` runs before FreeBSD's built-in `zfskeys` service. If the USB stick is
-missing or `fsck_ufs -p` fails, the helper logs the problem and exits
-successfully so boot continues. Encrypted datasets stay locked until the stick
-is repaired and `/usr/local/sbin/f3s-load-zfs-keys` is run manually.
-
-## Setup
-
-Format a new key stick:
-
-```sh
-doas newfs -L F3S_KEYS /dev/da0
-doas mkdir -p /keys
-doas mount -t ufs -o ro /dev/ufs/F3S_KEYS /keys
-```
-
-Label an existing stick without rebuilding it:
-
-```sh
-doas umount /keys
-doas tunefs -L F3S_KEYS /dev/da0
-```
-
-Keep the old `/etc/fstab` line commented on all f-hosts:
-
-```fstab
-# /dev/da0 /keys ufs rw 0 2
-```
-
-Enable boot loading:
-
-```sh
-doas sysrc f3skeys_enable=YES
-doas sysrc zfskeys_enable=YES
-```
-
-Current `zfskeys_datasets` values:
-
-```sh
-# f0
-doas sysrc zfskeys_datasets="zdata/enc zdata/enc/nfsdata zroot/bhyve zroot/garage"
-
-# f1
-doas sysrc zfskeys_datasets="zdata/enc zroot/bhyve zroot/garage zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata"
-
-# f2
-doas sysrc zfskeys_datasets="zdata/enc zroot/bhyve zroot/garage zroot/sink/f3/zroot/bhyve/freebsd"
-
-# f3
-doas sysrc zfskeys_datasets="zroot/bhyve"
-```
-
-Replicated sinks with raw encryption need explicit file keylocations:
-
-```sh
-# f1
-doas zfs set keylocation=file:///keys/f0.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key \
- zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata
-
-# f2
-doas zfs set keylocation=file:///keys/f3.lan.buetow.org:bhyve.key \
- zroot/sink/f3/zroot/bhyve/freebsd
-```
-
-Manual recovery after boot:
-
-```sh
-doas /usr/local/sbin/f3s-mount-keys --strict
-doas /usr/local/sbin/f3s-load-zfs-keys
-```
-
-## Verification
-
-```sh
-mount | grep ' /keys '
-sysrc -n f3skeys_enable
-sysrc -n zfskeys_enable
-sysrc -n zfskeys_datasets
-doas /usr/local/sbin/f3s-load-zfs-keys
-zfs list -H -o name,encryption,keylocation,keystatus,mounted |
- awk '$2 != "off" { print }'
-```
-
-Full reboot validation was run on f0, f1, f2, and f3 on 2026-05-30 after this
-change.
-
-Note: `zroot/sink/f3/zroot/bhyve/freebsd` on f2 has `mountpoint=none`; the
-reboot check expects its key to be `available`, but it is not mounted because it
-has no filesystem mountpoint.

-# ZFS Pools & Encryption
-
-Covers the `zdata` pool layout on f0/f1, encryption keys held on per-host
-USB sticks, and how to roll a new encrypted dataset (data and bhyve).
-
-## Physical Disks
-
-- **f0**: 512GB M.2 (OS/zroot) + Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB (zdata)
-- **f1**: 512GB M.2 (OS/zroot) + Crucial CT1000BX500SSD1 1TB (zdata)
-- **f2**: No second drive (no zdata pool)
-- **f3**: 512GB M.2 (OS/zroot); no zdata pool yet (planned)
-
-## zdata Pool Setup
-
-On f0 and f1, create the zdata pool on the second SSD:
-
-```sh
-# Pool setup (f0 and f1 only)
-doas zpool create zdata ada1 # ada1 = second SSD
-```
-
-## Encryption Keys (USB Key Storage)
-
-Encryption keys are stored on USB flash drives (UFS-formatted, mounted at
-`/keys`). All four hosts (f0/f1/f2/f3) have USB keys with UFS label
-`F3S_KEYS`, mounted at `/keys`, each holding all 8 key files as cross-host
-backups.
-
-Do **not** mount `/keys` from `/etc/fstab`. A missing or corrupt key stick must
-not block the FreeBSD base OS from booting. See [USB Key Mounting](usb-keys.md)
-for the `f3skeys` boot helper, install paths, current `zfskeys_datasets`, and
-reboot validation.
-
-```sh
-# Format and mount USB key (on each node)
-doas newfs -L F3S_KEYS /dev/da0
-doas mkdir /keys
-doas mount -t ufs -o ro /dev/ufs/F3S_KEYS /keys
-
-# Generate keys (on f0, then copy to f1, f2, f3)
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f0.lan.buetow.org:bhyve.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f1.lan.buetow.org:bhyve.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f2.lan.buetow.org:bhyve.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f3.lan.buetow.org:bhyve.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f0.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f1.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f2.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key 32
-doas openssl rand -out /keys/f3.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key 32
-doas chown root /keys/* && doas chmod 400 /keys/*
-# Copy to f1, f2, f3 via tarball
-```
-
-If an existing stick has no label, unmount it and label it without rebuilding
-the filesystem:
-
-```sh
-doas umount /keys
-doas tunefs -L F3S_KEYS /dev/da0
-```
-
-## Encryption Setup
-
-```sh
-# On f0 - create encrypted zdata dataset
-doas zfs create -o encryption=on -o keyformat=raw \
