Re: [smartos-discuss] USB pass through to zone needed

2016-06-05 Thread Jorge Schrauwen 

I'll try to write something up tomorrow,
I managed to strip out a lot of unneeded stuff and ended up just shy of 
10mb.


Everything seems to be working, I'll also write a manifest for it so it 
can be started.


I'll probably roll with this, I don't like having a lot in the gz but 
~10mb is acceptable.
I just have all the node run a local copy and talk to a master to deal 
with the shutdown stuff.

pkg_add -p /opt/apcupsd apcupsd-*.tgz
followed by patchelf to fix the paths seems to result in a ~65MB dir
that can be dropped into the gz.

I only give it a quick spin and got no segfaults so it looks promising.

You can pass through the device to a native zone if you like.
You need to manual edit the zone using zonecfg and use the 'add 
device' command.


Due to SmartOS running from ramdisk the usb device order was not
stable for me causing some problems. (APC SmartUPS)

I abandoned that approach and switched to a RPi which failed last year
and I haven't setup a replacement yet. I was thinking about using
socat to forward it from the GZ to a zone over the network.

Socat is available I just need to write a proper smf for this.
Alternatively I'm looking into a smf that will reconfigure the zone
automaticall on boot to have the correct usb device. Not sure which
methode would be easier.

It seems like the best way to do this might be to have a dedicated LX

file when required, and, in the global zone, monitor the file system
for the presence of that file. When the file appears, a power off
command is issued. I just need to be able to have the local zone
access the UPS via USB connection. Access to the LX file system from
the global zone for monitoring is obviously not an issue.

In short, I need to find out how to do the following:
   Determine which device in the global zone the UPS is attached to 
via

USB cable
   Pass the device down to a local zone (I assume via some zonecfg
commands)
  Determine which device to point the daemon to in the local zone
Can anybody provide some info concerning the above issues?

Thanks in advance,
John

[smartos-discuss] Change inotify max_user_watches in lx zone

2016-06-05 Thread David Peng 
I am running minidlna on a lx Ubuntu 16.04 zone.

4edaa46a-1b83-11e6-b863-3fb0064133ee  ubuntu-16.04  20160516  linux
lx-dataset2016-05-16


minidlna complains the inotify max_user_watches is too small (8192). I
found I can't set it. Check smartos-discuss and found this thread:


https://www.mail-archive.com/smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org.email.enqueue.archive.listbox.com/msg01422.html


Any better solution now? Do you think it an issue and to improve it?


My smartos version is


SunOS homelab_dp 5.11 joyent_20160414T011743Z i86pc i386 i86pc


Thanks,


David

Re: [smartos-discuss] USB pass through to zone needed

2016-06-05 Thread Eric Ripa 
I'm also doing the Raspberry Pi with nut approach. I do however run the nut
daemon "upsmon" on the SmartOS host in GZ which then handles shutdown
"locally" after receiving shutdown signal. It was quite finicky to set it
up so if you can use SSH shutdown it'll probably be better.

Thanks for all of the cool suggestions. Looks like I have several
opportunities to explore. Since I have a RPi running dnsmasq and pound, I
might go with that approach (RPi sending shutdown command to the global
zone via ssh). I could cleanly shut the RPi down, too, which would be nice
considering that I've already had issues with the memory card and
ungrateful reboots.

John
