Bug ID: 222089 Summary: Official Google Cloud image configuration errors Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vi...@khera.org I installed a GCE image from the image as per the 11.1 release notes: gcloud compute instances create fbsd-test1 --image freebsd-11-1-release-amd64 --image-project=freebsd-org-cloud-dev --zone "us-central1-c" --subnet default --maintenance-policy MIGRATE --boot-disk-size 22 The resulting VM had some significant issues: 1. /etc/hosts does not have localhost. default resolv.conf setting does not let the system resolve "localhost" either. It appears that the file is overwritten rather than appended to. 2. /boot/loader.conf requests kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-safe, but choices are ACPI-fast(900) TSC-low(1000). The system then chooses TSC-low timer, which is running the clock fast about 2 minutes every 30 minutes. Using ACPI-fast the clock remains very accurate with ntpd. 2.5. loader.conf is the wrong place to set timecounter. The setting there is ignored. It appears that the right place is sysctl.conf. 3. /etc/ttys enables all the virtual consoles; these are inaccessible so should just be off other than the serial console so that there are not a bunch of getty processes running doing nothing. 4. google_accounts_manager takes a *long* time to exit, which holds up reboots by over a minute. It also issues a warning about mismatched interpreter name. Minor issues: 1. The last line of /etc/syslog.conf is a duplicate of a line further up. This line seems appended specifically in the GCE image and is totally redundant. 2. The console setting in rc.conf does nothing. It is only valid to put this in loader.conf. Also, it would be great if the image did not require a 22GB disk. I think it would fit very easily into 10GB as a minimum size. All of the above issues can be fixed by editing the config files, but this minimum size requirement cannot be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
