I would be very interested in seeing what you've done. One concern/question here is that in order to fit the appliance paradigm, I expect that a user may shut this system down by simply pulling the plug. Is state preserved if BeleniX is not gracefully shutdown? One of the big benefits of having a zfs zpool is that we're guaranteed that the state of the pool is at least consistent. > SMF repository is not yet tackled, but it is easy to do. > Already in BeleniX 0.6.1 /sbin/init is a shell script that does some > custom boot > argument parsing and then execs the real init. > > It is planned to enhance it to also do the CD/USB mounting thus moving > even more stuff onto the media and reducing miniroot size further. > So this copying > of the repository.db can be done in the modified init since at that > time SMF is not > yet active. > > Regards, > Moinak. > >> Thanks, >> -- Jim C >> >> >> This message posted from opensolaris.org >> _______________________________________________ >> opensolaris-discuss mailing list >> opensolaris-discuss at opensolaris.org >> > >
