anyone use docs.rs/vfs before? im trying to make an overlay fs but it's not working. i make the OverlayFS::new() with paths to dirs and read_dir shows me it's merging, but how do i get the merged filesystem back out? basically i want access to the merged dir

that implements the vfs::filesystem::FileSystem trait, access it via these functions

but that just gives individual item access, nothing like 'copy entire merged dir'

like there's no copy_dir method that i can pass "/" to or smth

doesn't seem like that crate has any functions to work on multiple vfs or any copy dir function

but do you need to copy it? what do you want to do?

i want to compose a layered dir tree

yeah, that is what OverlayFS::new() does

ya i already said i saw with read_dir that it seeemd to be doing the merge, but that doesn't help as there's no way to obtain the merged dir tree

the object is the filesystem, it is virtual, as it only exists for that program, do you maybe search for unionfs/mount_unionfs?

is there a unionfs crate i can look at to see?

btw, i could use the iterator to walk the dir tree and copy each and every dir/file where i want it to go, but that seems ridiculous

what do you want to do? what is the bigger picture?

i want to take a set of dirs, merge them, then copy that entire dir tree somewhere on the physical FS

polyex: i just got here but why not rsync the source dirs to the dest dir

overlay fs approach has unique benefit that it doesn't copy a dir over and over

like how docker builds up a file tree out of layers

sounds like cp -r or rsync

no

wait, how do you want to copy without copying?

i'll ask about it again later when ppl that know about layer FSs are here

Hi.

I read a very good tutorial on bhyve: blog.sunsaturn.com/freebsd/create-v…tual-machines-with-freebsd-vm-bhyve Just got one question: The author has 2 10gigabit ethernet ports and created a LACP interface by merging both interfaces, for his VMs. Why he needed to do so? What would that process give to VMs and what's the benefit?

that is just how that network setup is there, no idea why the author throught it is important to note instead of just noting that the network interface of the host is named lagg0 in that setup

madcrt: it's agnostic to bhyve (as in the benefit is for the whole machine, but they chose bhyve to run the tasks that utilize what LA brings)

I mean, would those two ports be dedicated to bhyve? And what's difference between dedicating 2 physical ports, vs, creating a virtual interface, for bhyve? Which one performs better?

madcrt: I run such a setup, it's just to provide more throughput to the system

no, the bridge is the important part (you can think of that as a internal virtual switch)

if you have multiple network interfaces you could also give one completly to bhyve without using a bridge

vortexx: so, better network performance for VMs?

nimaje: Good idea, how?

Any sample config?

give bhyve the interface directly, instead of the tap interface you would give it with a bridge

madcrt: I use vm-bhyve, when you do the setup you just pass the lagg0 interface to the bhyve bridge, it's nothing special

Just a bit curious. Is wayland common these days? Or, are you still on xorg?

ibs: wayland works

havent used much, but saw it working

bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279644 who is responsible for this request ?

Should I ask on forum ?

HER: I know it works.. I'm using it now. More interested in the maturity of it.

ibs: nice! how long have you been using ? and, do you miss anything from x ? and do you dislike anything specifically in wayland ?

HER: I've been away from FreeBSD for years. Just last week started to look into it again. A little more hands-on to get working compared to Linux of course. But once up and running it's pretty much the same. Though it's even more years ago since I touched xorg.

ibs: I have been using Sway on FreeBSD for about six months. It is very stable, 3D acceleration works out of the box, even the bits I thought might work like fractional scaling work very well

what I didn't get to work was Gnome 3 on Wayland, but that was because I never worked out how to get GDM to work

Firefox on Wayland appeared to work fine

anyone use docs.rs/vfs before? i'm trying to make an OverlayFS, so i can create a merge of a bunch of dir trees. i use OverlayFS::new() and then WalkDirIterator to confirm the merge has all the files and dirs from the dir trees. but how do i access the entire merge so i can copy the tree somewhere on my physical FS?

duncan: do you know if it works with alder lake gpu ?

espn is showing cliff diving

in.... montreal? 🤔

instead of a cliff.... they have a 100m diving platform?

it is on hold because of weather... kind of sucks to climb down all those ladders in that diving platform lol

oops wrong channel. sorry

wtf me too sorry channel

how do you fuck up a multiline statement to the wrong channel

Same way you would type a single line statement in the wrong channel. Simply navigating to the wrong channel before realizing where you were.

eh I guess, but it is irc you have to channel or click to target

probably just typing to the wrong pane in focus lol

true ;)

solves the rust in base question? notgull.net/announcing-dozer basically rust toolchain only needs C to bootstrap

that is a plan of someone to build a rust compiler written in C

and as clang is in base mrustc would probably be as good for freebsd
