00:03:25 so, people to do with boot usb... 00:03:39 I just did upgrade of smartos 00:04:22 mount the usb, rsync the new platform tar (important), unmount the device, remount it, diff the new files 00:04:25 all is fine 00:05:11 then rebooting and it failing 00:05:25 in the boot/* forth files 00:05:32 (not part of the platform update) 00:05:57 things needed: 00:06:14 instructions to manually booto good-known files with Loader 00:06:42 trying to figure out dynamic forth code is not fun 00:07:23 all the files needed for a boot in platform tars 00:08:21 (if test-case is needed, I can provide a file to rnd(), as forth is not perl) 00:09:57 (why? I didn't appreciate the 40min or so of driving past midnight with a car with front-wheell bearing going out) 00:12:23 jesse_ I thought you just used piadm to update smartos 00:12:41 piadm can do usb boot? 00:12:56 and verify the non-platform files while doing it? 00:13:07 non-platform.tar files 00:17:24 jesse_ I'm sorry I just read the first paragraphs of PIADM(8) and I think you need to abandon usb booting to use the pool as bootable pool, so you are write for usb need to do it manually 00:18:16 ...and to use a pool as a bootable pool, you'll need to repartition the drives...=) 00:20:55 and because zfs has had excellent removal of disks and shrinking of filesystems since 2006, the migration path is clear!=) 00:21:30 (and I still have some legacy hardware that doesn't see all the connected disks in bios...=)) 00:29:26 jesse_ are you running triton or smartos?, triton has all the nice stuff but vanilla smartos is really great. 00:30:56 smartos 00:36:51 jesse_ oh ok, I like that now they added pkgsrc on the gz 00:43:30 that doesn't help much when you end up trying to forth-or-Loader (try to google up Loader, it's as easy as 'go' (the language)!) your server up 00:50:17 obviously it was not a big problem, I only had dns and mail down... 16:42:09 win 1
