I'm trying to install SXDE 1/08 into a VMware Fusion virtual machine on my mac. When I run the new installer, it appears that I can
"Use the whole disk" but after the install, the disk has multiple partitions anyway. Instead, I'd like to have a single partition
for "root" and other required partitions like "swap" and "boot". The reason is because I need to install
software in "/opt" and "/export" which will all go into the root partition which isn't big enough. Any ideas?
Did you use the new installer in SXDE?
If so, shouldn't you have just one main partition with several zfs filesystems?
I did use the new installer. I'm not sure how to tell the FS type, but I
looked in /etc/vfstab and see UFS for "/", "/export/home", and
"/second/root". I don't see anything about ZFS. As a workaround, I am
planning to modify vfstab so that I move the mount point of
"/export/home" to "/export" instead. The next question is how do I have
that setting take effect preferably without rebooting. I tried "umount
/export/home" but that fails :-(.
I'd also like to just login to the host as "root" using ssh, but that
failed even though I commented out the "CONSOLE" entry in
/etc/default/login. I'm trying to login using the old fashioned text
console method but can't figure it out :-(. Any ideas?
