the_oz - you can mount a file as a file system - same trick you use to mout DVD ROM image etc. - man mdconfig if that helps

there's a similar trick in Linux

heh - everyone's away from terminal. worthy of mention.

Oh I see uskerine wanted to know... a hard link to a file within the jail's file system would probably work. Then you mount it from a memory device. Have not tried in jail context. Also would not share it with other jails directly (for that NFS mounts would be better)

in fact that might be your best bet, an NFS mount on the host. Yhen just put it in fstab

make that 'NFS export' on ther host. yeah I meant THAT.

nimaje I am listening. Can you elaborate on nullfs?

as I understand, you want to mount the partition on the host and give some jails access, you can mount the directory into the jail via nullfs to archive that

I will google about nullfs

thanks nimaje

what about data integrity, while the scenario I am considering is controlled writes and the rest reads when the first is not writing, I suppouse locks do not work between jails, right?

what I mean is that my case is simple, as a few jails might be reading and that it is

but what would happen if I would like to handle data integrity via locks

what kind of locks? why would they not work?

flock

I do not know if they would work or not, I am asking because it is my understanding that jails have certain level of isolation

with nullfs you explicitly share a part of the filesystem, so I would expect flock to work, but never tried it

sigh.. I can't use umlauts today, any other keys like euro symbol aren't working

aargh `setxkbmap us -variant altgr-intl -option compose:menu` seems to have come unset

I wonder what did that

ü€ aaah we're back

im running freebsd 14 on an asus chromebox cn60 and the io speed is insanely slow, it takes a very long time to extract packages with pkg install

i checked top while it was stuck extracting the rust package and the cpu usage was minimal, so im pretty sure its an io issue

the drive is an m.2 sata ssd and the filesystem is ufs

and i havent had this issue with other oses, eg linux and netbsd, only freebsd

i havent yet tried it with zfs because this device only has 2gb of ram

you can run zfs on 2g ram, could be difficult if you want to run a browser simultaneously tho

bz what do you see if you run `doas gstat -soBpd -I 1s`

while its lagging io

its quite conceivable that the chromebook has shitty h/w with crappy i/o path

so looking at `L(q)` should show total pending io, `% busy` is basically if its going flat out or not, and `ms/w` is how long it takes on average to do a write

theres probably similar data available in `iostat(8)` try `iostat -dxw 1`

dvl, i've been running vaultwarden in a jail for a bit over 4 years. never had a problem. works with the bitwarden mobile apps and browser extensions. love it

scoobybejesus: Seems fine so far. Now I have to decide: do I want to do this, or just let Bitwarden take care of it for me.

i decided to have mine in a jail at home. when i'm out, i would need to vpn home in order to update passwords or add new logins. that has never hindered me. i like having my data at home. and backups have been easy. but, yeah, good service for a good price for a good company...

scoobybejesus: With an "offline" solution like that.... hmm, I use VaultWarden only for TOTP, which rarely changes....

I could move all my OTOP into Keeper (which is what I've been using for years).

since i didn't say it outright, I only have my mobile vault or laptop vault "locked" which is to say that the db is cached on the device. so i can use the apps while i'm on the go for passwords and TOTP. i just can't make updates while out and about

my employer uses Keeper. i like it. i like bitwarden/vaultwarden more. but both are good in my book.

For those to work "offline", was there a specfic setting you needed to do?

It must be that the Session timeout action be set to Lock, not Log out

which i thought was the default

When you do need to create/modify something, and you're not connected to home, what is your procedure?

of course the day i comment on it, the web app stops behaving. updating fixed

when i need to modify, i generally don't. when i need to add, i will create the account with the relevant service, not using the app, and use a strong-enough password that i can remember, and then just change the password later when i add the record to vaultwarden

interesting

i use syncthing and keep my keepassxc file where i need it

If I need to replace a disk that was originally setup by the install root on zfs is there a simple process to that disk via some built in script or do you have to do it by hand?

skered: is it one in a pair of mirrors?

you would need to partition it to match the other one, but zpool replace would do the synchronizing

raidz. Yeah I did a gpart backup other | gpart restore -F new

But I think I know the steps to get it back.

I'm just wondering if there is something builtin that would just do it all for you.

it should be something like 'zpool replace zroot ada1s3'

repart, replace, bootcode, copy ESP, replace swap, etc...

there's no script for it as far as i'm aware

replace swap what?

zfs on root cretes a 2G swap on each disk

that's part of the gpart

ober: how do you create it ?

skered: i didn't know you could boot from a raidz
