would the OmniOS community be interested in having a handbook similar to the freebsd handbook?

... interesting idea

might be cool

AmyMalik Basically I want to copy the whole text and modify the commands

and add some OmniOS specific things

that won't work.

AmyMalik really? I mean the "process" is the same. history -> installation -> basic commands -> networking -> pkg -> ... etc

no. you have to write the handbook from near-scratch

antranigv there is a wiki for omnios you don't need to start from start github.com/omniosorg/omnios-wiki/blob/master/GeneralAdministration.md

from scratch I mean

:D

this is a very nice wiki

yes, needs to be maybe updated when needed and converted to maybe just a static page, I don't know somewhere easy to reach

folks, is there ext4 read only support on OmniOS?

if not, maybe I can mount my other drive inside a bhyve branded zone and read the data from there... I guess

antranigv I don't think it would work in a lx branded zone, AFAIK there is only syscall translation being done, you need something like fuse to read it. maybe just ppt the disk to a bhvye vm and read it from there.

oh, I'm sorry I read lx branded zone

you are correct that will work bhyve branded zone and ppt

neirac yeah exactly what I was thinking. Or jut pass the disk as virtio-blk I guess

assuming that passing a file path as a virtio-blk works the same way on OmniOS as FreeBSD, then I can find my way around it!

antranigv I have not tried that but should work

any docs about the bhyve branded zones? I'm having a hard time finding docs to be honest

if you are using zadm to create them, there is a doc flag and pass the zone type

Does OmniOS require UEFI or can I boot in legacy BIOS?

It could use legacy BIOS AFAIK

zadm doc -b bhyve

The loader and OS supports UEFI and not UEFI.

man bhyve.7, or if you need the other ones man brands

yup, needed to install the package first. silly me

happy to see a production OmniOS installation in Armenia now 😎

okay, the other machine didn't work

my intern sent me a picture

during boot

can anyone check?

jbk in #illumos might have a clue

neirac danke!

antranigv in BIOS do you have the option to disable SATA II ?

I might. lemme check
