Hi, is this the right channel to ask about S3?

Greetings. Looks like I am forced to use a cluster of Raspberry Pis instead of a couple of normal machines for a home DC. But, obviously, I prefer FreeBSD as the server OS. But also my experience with FreeBSD raises some questions. For now, I assume a topology with 1-2 'controller' nodes and 4-8 'worker' nodes, and clustered applications can be storage (like Ceph) or microservice (like Docker, jails/CBSD or

'manual static orchestration'). First, can U-Boot, which is used in Pi images, be ran via PXE to make entire μSDs of 'worker' nodes be, for example, Ceph OSDs? Second, how much GNU/Linux and FreeBSD clustering stack differs (for examples, is Ceph even compatible with FreeBSD, and are there Pacemaker/Corosync, which are used at our office)?

I used to run all my apps on a single node with an USB HDD connected, but U-Boot had troubles with unattended boot 'cause, as my OS&DE teacher assumes, it tries to boot from the HDD but isn't aware of the HDD spin-up delay and just hangs...

i prefer freebsd because the logo is cool

mkf: what's the context?

alex1216: there's a few people in here who use podman to deploy applications in jails, orchestrated by nomad

images are built by buildah then

meena: do you know any in the source code team?

meena: ACPI

mictty: depends on which part of the source, but yea, I've been around long enough that I know some devs

mkf: ah, yeah, ask away, i thought you meant the other S3, the cloud thing

alright, thanks :)

i have a hp elitedesk 800 G2, with ghostbsd i can suspend system without any issues.

however with vanilla freebsd i can't restore from suspend.

are there any kernel mods or related things to configure?

ISTR that to restore from suspend you need to have the KMS for your GPU loaded.

meena: i moved the conversation to freebsd-social, since the topic may not so fit in freebsd

alex1216: as for raspberry pi booting sequence: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/quest…at-is-the-boot-sequence/10595#10595 raspberrypi.com/documentation/compu…ry-pi.html#raspberry-pi-4-boot-flow - you need sd card to load uboot (first part is hardcoded in chip), then uboot can load kernel via tftpd from network (along with anything else)

Title: What is the boot sequence? - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange

alex1216: there is no pxe on raspbery - but uboot can act something like it

__xor: have you seen rosorio/pkg-provides #7 ?

Title: How to provide a provides DB for a PkgBase repo · Issue #7 · rosorio/pkg-provides · GitHub

is there a way to keep a kernel module from loading? module_blacklist="zfs" does not seem to

or a different approach, does blacklisting puppet facts prevent running the commands to get those facts, or just hide them from the output

rtprio: you can do it in loader.conf, too

i put that in loader.conf and it still loads

unless i misunderstand its function

i think it's blOcklist now?

I'ts just blocklistd

There's an update in the works which'll bring in the name.

A daemon that maintains a list of things that should be blocked being named blocklistd makes the most amount of sense possible.

rtprio: it's tricky with the naming of the modules

sometimes it needs .ko, sometimes it doesn't, and does and i never remember which file wants it which way

might be good to document that, huh?

rc.conf(5) says kld_list takes it without .ko, but doesn't mention what format devmatch_blocklist/devmatch_blacklist take

rtprio: if you block modules in loader, you should also block them in rc.conf

ok

rtprio: as for facter, I don't remember how to suppress specific facts

rmacklem@ has been making interesting jail+NFS related changes, recently.

yeah, I hope they land, but I also hope the current discussions re vnet shutdown goes somewhere fruitful
