there's a hurricane coming up the coast BarberRonny: Earl RandalSchwartz: east coast, I presume
"Earl's got to die.... gbye earl!"
yeah, I'm heading to atlanta... hope that doesn't impinge
so what do you want to know about my zfs snaps? fink_: RandalSchwartz: i was wondering how your yml config file is setup
would pm be better? RandalSchwartz: no - just trying to figure out how to show it to you :)
I keep 10 minutes for 90
30 minutes for 720
180 minutes for 10080 fink_: ok, cool RandalSchwartz: and 86400 for Big Number fink_: RandalSchwartz: which filesystems do you snapshot? RandalSchwartz: zroot recursive:true
just to keep it simple
I figure a snap costs very little
even for /var/empty :) fink_: RandalSchwartz: ok cool, that's what i was doing RandalSchwartz: I think I'm about to change to zfsnap though
it puts the expiration directly in the name of the snap fink_: RandalSchwartz: we're talking about your arpnetworks vps, with zfs on root, yes RandalSchwartz: indeed
I hadn't noticed zfsnap until recently
it removes the ruby dependency fink_: RandalSchwartz: is it new? RandalSchwartz: fairly fink_: it's an sh script? RandalSchwartz: it's pure sh
yeah fink_: huh, like portmaster RandalSchwartz: yeah, I'm now using portmaster too fink_: i knew you'd come around ;) RandalSchwartz: I like "portmaster -Da"
because it asks what it's about to do, and I can stop quickly if it's something dangerous fink_: RandalSchwartz: are you on 8.1? RandalSchwartz: not yet
Have to plan for some uninterrupted downtime for that
i have three servers to move up, so it'll take a bit fink_: so you didn't try the boot code updater, etc. RandalSchwartz: I've tried it in VMWare
and yes, you have to add the extra step
without it, you don't come back
I've written the authors of the doc online
and they haven't changed it yet
so it's a good thing I rehearsed with VMWare
I need to get up_the_irons to mount 8.1 DVD before I do that though
since I'll want the 8.1 bootloader
oh wait... it's done live
but yeah, I'll want 8.1 mounted at that point
actually, nothing stops me from having that already fink_: RandalSchwartz: yes, that's what i've been reading
RandalSchwartz: http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=94557&postcount=19
looks like it worked for others as well ***: schmir has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) fink_: i should get a freebsd forum account
RandalSchwartz: how great is your zfs-fu? RandalSchwartz: ooh - bookmarking that
nice
I'm an advanced beginner on zfs :)
I just added "thanks" on that post. :) fink_: RandalSchwartz: i installed zfs on root on a test system, now i'm confused about how the filesystems are setup: http://pastebin.com/Y50jf94C RandalSchwartz: lookings
that looks like opensolaris
it does that zroot/ROOT/zroot dance fink_: it's fbd 8 RandalSchwartz: really?
I never got that fink_: RandalSchwartz: tbh, i'm not sure how i got there ;) it was late, and now i don't remember… RandalSchwartz: how did you type your zfs create commands?
or did you use a script? fink_: it's a script, let me find it RandalSchwartz: yeah - might be something that mimics opensolaris
what's in your fstab?
I don't understand how zroot/ROOT/zroot becomes / fink_: fstab: http://pastebin.com/hr2Qk5zz
RandalSchwartz: i'm confused about that too RandalSchwartz: ok - weird
must be something in a boot script that fixes it
too much Heavy Magic
but probably the same magic that opensol uses
since that reminds me precisely of my opensol setup on EC2
the one I'm no longer using
for half the price of what we were paying on EC2, I've got maayan.insightcruises.com with twice the power fink_: heh, cool RandalSchwartz: not to mention the kind of responsiveness that up_the_irons is becoming legendary for fink_: RandalSchwartz: thanks for your help, it gave me some ideas
i'm going to read up about opensolaris' zroot, and try out zfsnap RandalSchwartz: cool
well - you could also just build your zroot the sane way :) fink_: RandalSchwartz: that script was so nice and easy…had lots of options, wish i could find it RandalSchwartz: heh
I think I know
there's a boot stick that installs it
I'm sticking with pcbsd8.1 now though
*it* can do a sysinstall *and* pick zfs for root fink_: pcbsd installer? RandalSchwartz: yeah fink_: but then you install freebsd? RandalSchwartz: yes fink_: woooaaahh! RandalSchwartz: indeed
as in you can install server stuff and not desktop stuff fink_: do you have a good link for this pcbsd insanity? RandalSchwartz: but still use their nice installer
google might :)

although you probably want the torrent
far faster

heh... freebsd 8.1 released on 23 july. pcbsd 8.1 on 21 july
they were psychic! fink_: RandalSchwartz: awesome, thanks
RandalSchwartz: found the script: http://anonsvn.h3q.com/projects/freebsd-patches/browser/manageBE/create-zfsboot-gpt_livecd.sh RandalSchwartz: yeah - I've seen that one
it was too rigid for me
and weird :)
ok - heading to atlanta... back online latetr... fink_: thanks again
