  hello all, where is the define ram disk size of / file system, can we create more memory? how large can be
• 14:52
  jbk
  it's based on the size of the image itself.. basically something that's set when the .tgz is built as I recall

  hi, I followed the instructions to boot from the zones pool, mut my system does not recognize the ssh as bootable device on startup. what have I missed?
• 15:17
  mongole
  piadm bootable says: zones ==> BIOS and UEFI
• 15:17
  mongole
  piadm list says:

  tozhu: JBK is correct. That's a platform build-time decision.
• 19:56
  danmcd
  In the smartos-live repo:
• 19:56
  danmcd
  tools/build_live:bi_root_size=325000
• 20:55
  danmcd
  That variable in tools/build_live can be tweaked to resize.
• 21:09
  danmcd
  @mongole ==> You meant to say SSD, right?
• 21:09
  danmcd
  Anyway... at first glance that does look like your zones pool should be bootable.
• 21:09
  mongole
  yes to ssd
• 21:09
  danmcd
  You did not share what `zpool list -v zones` looks like. Is it single disk? mirrors? I'm not sure.
• 21:09
  mongole
  single disk

  danmcd
  Are there any other disks besides c1t1d0 ? Also, is this a HW-RAID sort of underlying disk (is it plugged into a HW-RAID HBA?!?), or a conventional NVMe, SATA, or jbod/directly-attached SCSI?
• 21:12
  mongole
  this is just a single msata disk
• 21:12
  danmcd
  `diskinfo` answers my question, sorry for not leading with that.

  ATA?
• 21:12
  danmcd
  Oh SATA.
• 21:12
  danmcd
  SOrry... not wide enough.
• 21:12
  mongole
  mSATA
• 21:13
  danmcd
  VID == ATA where I got confused.

  Last thing to check, please, and can you put it in a GIST as it'll be a bit large for pasting:... `prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0`

• 21:16
  danmcd
  Okay... this makes sense. I see you have what looks like a USB-key in your machine as well? Have you tried booting with it removed?
• 21:17
  mongole
  yes, that's the whole issue. I can only boot with the usb device plugged in. without it, there is no device to boot from. so my system just stops after uefi screen
• 21:17
  danmcd
  Second thing I'd try is to make sure your BIOS is allowing a boot from the M.2 slot
• 21:17
  danmcd
  Sometimes "boot from onboard M.2" is disabled.
• 21:17
  danmcd
  That's the only thing I can think of that'd cause a problem like this.
• 21:18
  danmcd
  Your SSD is properly laid out for UEFI booting (piadm AND the prtvtoc confirm that).
• 21:18
  danmcd
  Also, I hope your mobo isn't disallowing SATA boot from the M.2 slot, esp. if it's one of those NVME-or-mSATA slots?
• 21:19
  mongole
  well, it's a Fujitsu S920. I have 4 of these. there is no issue booting from the mSATA ssd in general. but after SmartOS setup, I loose all bootable devices in UEFI
• 21:20
  mongole
  FUJITSU Thin Client FUTRO S920
• 21:21
  mongole
  usually I just install a OS like DietPI, reboot, done
• 21:21
  danmcd
  That's really really weird.
• 21:21
  danmcd
  I did see this with some cursory google searching...

• 21:22
  danmcd
  tl;dr ==> disable "secure boot" and "CSM".
• 21:24
  mongole
  that's the first thing I always do. disable secure boot and csm :)
• 21:24
  mongole
  before I even plug a usb stick in
• 21:25
  danmcd
  Damn.
• 21:25
  tsoome
  does that system have uefi shell?
• 21:26
  mongole
  not sure. but I think so
• 21:26
  mongole
  but I have to leave now, my gf gets impatient :D
• 21:26
  tsoome
  if you can start it, you can try to browse the directory tree (efi/boot) and start bootx64.efi manually
• 21:27
  mongole
  yes I can start from USB
• 21:27
  mongole
  ok thanks for your help. I will stay here and be back in 2 days. I need to leave :/
• 21:28
  tsoome
  have fun:)
• 21:29
  mongole
  I will just keep the system running until then :D
• 21:30
  tsoome
  either it does not like file system (can not access it) or does not like the binary (should not be the case because you can boot from usb)
