I tested it by unplugging drives orĭd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX garbage to a drive in zpool.īut you do not have to upgrade the pool version itself while upgrading to. That did not before, like hotspare drive functionality started working in. 8 is a big step that is worth it in features and functionality. (and for some reason without -no-install-recommends it tries to pull in things from icon themes to x11-common, basicaly half the install of X without the X)Īpt-get install -t beowulf-backports zfs-dkms zfsutils-linuxĪnd install 5.X kernel and headers ,(if done before installing backports version of zfs i get install errors of it trying to compile old version of zfs-dkms to 5.x kernel.) moving in and out of different installs will be much faster. ![]() To help with copy paste the instructions from another machine on networked system might be a good idea at this point as it will save time later once we get other clones going. Some nice things to help out, but not essential Minimal advanced install only selecting "standard system utilities". We will use this as our maintenance/rescue system and as a starting clone for first system on zfs root. (Moving data, here to swap, outside of zfs control) To get started Interesting option could be an ssd drive that could serve multiple functions.Ģ Swap on ssd for hibernation which is not support on zfs zvol yetģ And a persistent l2arc on same ssd when hibernation is usedīut that is a bit of a strech for data integrity ideal of zfs. Other options can be a usb stick, msata drive, anything that devuan can be installed on and booted. Can also boot systems in the pool from outside if needed. I chose a hard drive installation for a rescue system that is ready to go. It is not persistent, you will have to reinstall and reconfigure zfs and other things to get your system back up if something goes wrong. Starting with devuan Live image was discarded. ![]() … b-can-readĪditional info on BSD and Indiana multibooting I wanted my rpool on whole disk and not how most howtos split up in to bpool and rpool (my understanding is, it is due to limitations in grub and some zpool features but if we get it running and not enable them later, all is well ?) This is most i could find at the moment but a good lead. Here is my starting point References for ROOT on ZOL first one is what i hoped to achieve. No custom scrips, patches, or even extensive modifications to any part of system will be used in this setup. But minus the odd install part of the system(due to some license incompatibility) Which is on par with doing root on NFS which is then managed trough zfs snapshots and cloning on server. Took me a while to get around to trying to do this, as i was not sure of how much of a hack the whole root on zfs install would be.
