ZFS mounting failed with error 2

2013-04-10 Thread David Demelier
Hello

I have tried to create a GPT partition scheme on my machine. I've
created some dataset like that :

tank/usr
tank/usr/ports
tank/usr/src
tank/var/
tank/var/log

(Please note that is a test on a virtual machine before applying to a
real machine).

I've tried to generate the zpool.cache like that:

zpool import -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache -o altroot=/mnt -f
cp /tmp/zpool.cache /mnt/boot/zfs/

And then tried to set mount point to legacy and bootfs with :

zfs set bootfs=tank tank
zfs set mountpoint=legacy tank

The following commands made a lot of warnings :

zfs set mountpoint=/usr tank/usr
zfs set mountpoint=/var tank/var
...

After, the import on the livecd shell generated the error :

cannot mount '/mnt/var': failed to create mountpoint.

I must say that it is very hard to make a ZFS working machine, there
are a lot of pages on the Wiki and most of them are a little bit
outdated..

Try to use /tmp/mnt as a temporary altroot. /tmp should be writeable. 
Not sure about / within the livecd env.

When you set mountpoints using the above commands, the filesystems are 
actually being mounted at their specified mountpoint.

Unless the filesystems contain some actual files, more to the point, 
critical files, i.e. libraries and executables, then you are out of 
luck.

My own blog entry is a bit (out)dated, but maybe it's worth a look:

But the FreeBSD installer says to mount over /mnt before exiting the shell.

Yes that was a probable issue, I will unmount everything before trying
a new install.

The blog is up  running, I assure you. Perhaps my choice of the .info 
TLD is unacceptable for some reason. It could even be the count of 
four letters, rather than 2 or 3, or all sorts of other crazy.

Anyway, best of luck. ZFS is still a manual install, just pick the 
shell option in the FreeBSD Installer, and type away.

EC2 Instances Future

2013-04-10 Thread jflowers
Is there anything likely to be available in the future (3 months to a year) to
avoid the Windows tax on FreeBSD instances for the smaller (t1.micro,
m1.small, m1.medium) types?  I understand the problem but don't find anything
much online about a possible solution.  Probably because I don't understand as
much as I think.

Thanks.

When will binary packages be back?

2013-04-10 Thread Brett Glass
For many years, I've used FreeBSD binary packages to avoid long 
waits and/or having to set up a special build machine when creating 
small systems. But even though the development server security 
breach is now long past, there are no published binary packages for 
FreeBSD 9.1. When will they be back?

Unfortunately, I've never experimented with pkgng, so will have to

this. Might be a temporary workaround.

In the meantime, I'm trying to install Apache 2.2 on a small

build the port, the machine has built Perl, Python, m4, Berkeley 
DB, and an incredible
assortment of other stuff that I do not want or need on that 
machine! And because
the make distclean command in the FreeBSD ports system does not 
remove code for
dependencies, I'll have tons of source -- including GPLed code,

it is def. where the project is moving towards for binary pkg

i've been quite happy with it since it first was released, and there
is still plenty of active development happening on it as well.

Hi Brett,

Here's an easy way to delete all of the distfiles for a port and its
dependencies:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 # Or whatever
make distclean
make all-depends-list | xargs -n1 -I % sh -c cd %  make distclean

Hope that helps,
Greg

Then you must have selected some non-default options that have pulled in 
those as dependencies. You can remove them by:

Thanks Jeff and Mike for the assist.  I'll try both those suggestions.

Oddly, I was not presented with the usual port config screen when I ran
the make phase in the ports.   This is on a new install on a newly
formatted disk.   I thought it odd that the was no config screen, but I
chalked it up to something new in the 9.x versions (it was the first
time I installed 9.x).  It also was the first time I ever used portsnap
to obtain and install the ports tree.

Re: EC2 Instances Future

2013-04-10 Thread Michael Sierchio
I still follow Colin's original pattern of using a minimal Linux
grub boot EBS device (1GB), ext2fs, with the root partition being on
another  (ufs2) EBS device.  This works very well, with a couple of
caveats -

- Install e2fsprogs (pkg or port) - you will need it, on occasion when
modifying the boot device (after mounting rw).

- Kernel upgrades are tricky, so be careful

- Edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf intelligently to prevent unintended consequences

Apart from that, I have been running i386 and amd64 instances this
way, both 8.3 and 9.1, without difficulty (apart from some Xen clock
weirdness in 8.3).

No Windoze Tax. ;-)

Re: Install TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 wireless network interface card

2013-04-10 Thread Joshua Isom
You'll need to run -CURRENT instead of 9.1, and all the caveats that 
apply.  You'll also need the special HAL that hasn't yet been commited 
to -CURRENT.  There are instructions on the freebsd-wireless mailing 
list.  I'm using that exact card right now.


Run `pciconf -lv` and you should see it, but there's no driver in 9.1.

 Just made that into a batch file for my library. Should be a target in

 this could be submitted as a PR.

There are various options in portsclean (provided by ports-mgmt/
portupgrade), but for distfiles I simply do:

sudo rm -rvf /usr/ports/distfiles/*

after my updates have finished.

RE: EC2 Instances Future

2013-04-10 Thread Don O'Neil
Have you made any AMI's based on this method? I would love to deploy a
medium or large instance that isn't subject to the 'tax', but don't really
know where to start to build one like this.

Subject: Re: EC2 Instances Future

I still follow Colin's original pattern of using a minimal Linux
grub boot EBS device (1GB), ext2fs, with the root partition being on another
(ufs2) EBS device.  This works very well, with a couple of caveats -

- Install e2fsprogs (pkg or port) - you will need it, on occasion when
modifying the boot device (after mounting rw).

- Kernel upgrades are tricky, so be careful

- Edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf intelligently to prevent unintended
consequences

Apart from that, I have been running i386 and amd64 instances this way, both
8.3 and 9.1, without difficulty (apart from some Xen clock weirdness in
8.3).

No Windoze Tax. ;-)

 Is there anything likely to be available in the future (3 months to a

 don't find anything much online about a possible solution.  Probably 
 because I don't understand as much as I think.

 Thanks.
