You can add "set kFreeBSD.kern.hz=100" to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, then
run update-grub to propagate this.

Edit /boot/loader.conf

2011-10-02 Thread David Watson
In Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, is there an equivalent to /boot/loader.conf? Or can I 
edit grub's config file to pass kernel parameters?

I was finally able to install kFreeBSD, but I'm having the same problem as I 
mentioned in a previous thread - the vm is using up a lot of cpu even when the 
os is idle (host and guest).

I found a section in the FreeBSD handbook about installing FreeBSD as a vm 
guest, and it mentioned about editing /boot/loader.conf to include the line 
"kern.hz=100". (This was also mentioned in the other thread as a possible 
solution.) The only problem is that I checked and there is no loader.conf file 
in /boot! So should I create one? Or can I edit grub's config file?

Thanks.
David

Hi -bsd@

  Anyone up for writing a patch here? Unfortunately don't have that time
myself right now.

Bug#641167: base: Any call to mount returns /dev/ : No such device (fwd)

2011-10-02 Thread Geoffrey Thomas
[Oops, I sent this to the wrong bug address. Resending to the correct 
one, for the record.]


Hi John-Charles,

I'm reassigning this bug to kfreebsd-8 on the basis that that's where the 
following similar bug report was filed:

  http://bugs.debian.org/593733
I don't think it's the same bug, though. But hopefully this should get it 
visible by a kFreeBSD user or developer, who can reassign it elsewhere (the 
mount command, perhaps?) if this is incorrect.

Package: base

Dear Maintainer,


  * What led up to the situation?
While attempting to mount a second hard disk which contains some
data I recieved "No such device" error.
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I confirmed both that the device exists and had not been acidently erased
through installing gparted I confirmed that the device /dev/ad1s2 was
present on the disk and valid. I called the stat command stat /dev/ad1s2
to validate that the device file existed. stat printed out valid
information about the file. I attempted to validate that I had permission
to mount. both using sudo, and running mount as root after using su root.

  * What was the outcome of this action?
There was no specific outcome of this action. The problem persists the
only file system that was able to be mounted was root. No other file
system can be mounted on the system anywhere my any user with any
level of permission.

  * What outcome did you expect instead?
To successfully mount the file system on my second partition.

Further notes. I have not changed this file system during the os install
it is on a seperate hard disk. Not that the disk also as a fat file
system, and a btrfs file system on it. Neither were able to mount either.
Furthermore, the file system I was attempting to mount is an active root
partition for a debian instance which can successfully boot if I rebot
the system.

Unless someone has time to investigate, I think it'd be better to
request removal of kfreebsd-* binaries in Squeeze and try to support
those users by putting version 0.7.x in backports.

Actually, sharenfs=on works perfectly well under FreeBSD.

On pure FreeBSD, NFS client and server and iSCSI initiator _are_ part

If I'd been sure that binNMUs would work then we could have scheduled
them directly; the previous uploads have all been sourceful, so I
assumed there was a reason for that.

In any case, I've flagged the uploads for acceptance at the next
dinstall.

Re: Sharing ZFS pools

2011-10-02 Thread akindo
Thanks for your answers Robert and Arno,

Good to know that NFS doesn't work that well, even though it is possible to use 
with ZFS.

I didn't know about iSCSI, but after having read about it it seems like a good 
alternative, so I will try the istgt package.

Re: Installing Grub on new squeeze vm failed

2011-10-02 Thread David Watson
That didn't work! I was able to finish the installation, but upon reboot, grub 
reports "error: couldn't find boot", and has entered rescue mode. How can I 
manually boot into my system? I can try installing grub again and updating it.

Yes, but I wonder what happened before when it failed.

Maybe it's missing some sync() call so that data is committed to disk?

Robert gave you a very good answer in the other thread, so just for the
sake of completeness: share=on does not work on kfreebsd but
it neither does on FreeBSD.

Those are Solaris specific extensions. In Debian (or pure FreeBSD as
well), Samba, NFS and iSCSI aren't part of the core system and are not
configured that way. However you can still just configure each of those
protocols by using a traditional standalone daemon. Just install samba,
freebsd-nfs-server or istgt respectively.

As Robert says, NFS does not really work too well for the time being.
That's a kfreebsd specific problem, indeed.

Did that, and it worked ok; it generated grub.cfg and found both the kernel and 
module directory. So can I safely "Continue without boot loader" - skip to the 
next step in the installation?

Could you open a terminal and run update-grub manually?  From the
/target hierrachy, e.g.

$ chroot /target update-grub

Yes.

It's almost complete and just needs some debugging, but so far nobody
volunteered to do it.

An alternative is to use iSCSI.  Unlike NFS, iSCSI is well supported
on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.

Sharing ZFS pools

2011-10-02 Thread akindo
Hi guys,

I've read through the kFreeBSD FAQ and searched the mailing lists for an answer 
to my question but found none, so asking here now.

It seems that ZFS for kFreeBSD doesn't support the  set sharenfs=on and set 
sharesmb=on commands. Does this mean I cannot share my ZFS pool to other 
networked machines in any way? This is my goal.

FYI, I read here that I have to use those two commands to share to NFS and SMB: 
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide#ZFS_file_service_for_SMB_.28CIFS.29_or_SAMBA

Thanks a lot for any help.

Re: Sharing ZFS pools

2011-10-02 Thread akindo
Having read a bit more, it seems I can still share my ZFS pool via Samba by 
using the normal Samba application, but that it is not possible to share via 
NFS. Is this correct?

Will NFS support be added in future (is there a rough date?)? Otherwise I will 
consider switching to FreeBSD as I want to use NFS for performance and other 
reasons.
