11:07:16 <bennabiy> Anyone got time for a hopefully quick question?
11:23:41 <nikolam> bennabiy, shoot, quick :P
11:24:05 <nikolam> Don't ask to ask, just ask. As always :P
11:29:16 <bennabiy> haha
11:29:21 <bennabiy> Sorry, bad habit
11:30:06 <bennabiy> Two questions to start: first - I am trying to get my SSH key set for root authentication on global but it does not seem to be working
11:30:39 <bennabiy> second, Is it possible to take an encrypted luks external drive and pass it through to a zone / vm?
11:31:30 <tsoome_> https://docs.smartos.org/extra-configuration-options/ ?
11:32:52 <bennabiy> I have done that, but it keeps rejecting the key... do I need to reboot for the change to take place?
11:33:01 <bennabiy> I know I shouldn't have to
11:35:22 <tsoome_> it may be needed, depending -- you have rootfs on ramdisk and on boot, the local "customizations" are added - from usbkey. if you update data on key, something needs to populate that data to rootfs.... 
11:39:19 <bennabiy> That makes sense
11:39:26 <bennabiy> rebooting and will test it
11:41:06 <tsoome_> there may be service to restart to get it populated, but I really havent checked about those details myself.
11:43:01 <bennabiy> reboot was simple enough. worked
11:43:15 <bennabiy> As to the hard drive issue... any thoughts on that?
11:43:48 <tsoome_> whole drive on luks?
11:43:52 <bennabiy> yes
11:44:04 <bennabiy> external USB
11:44:43 <bennabiy> It has been a while since I have used SmartOS last... 2017 or so
11:45:32 <tsoome_> for luks, afaik you would need linux, right.. because illumos itself does not provide luks.
11:45:57 <tsoome_> and basically that means bhyve vm - and you can provide disk device for bhyve.
11:46:21 <bennabiy> ok... so I can pass the whole drive to it through bhyve
11:47:56 <tsoome_> yep. now the tricky question would be, if you can pass it as usb storage device or just as virtual disk device
11:48:39 <tsoome_> the difference is about what will happen on disconnects.
11:49:05 <bennabiy> I think I am going to duplicate it to a USB thumbdrive and test with non vital data
11:57:19 <bennabiy> can I pass a disk to LX or just bhyve?
12:16:53 <tsoome_> LX wont help unless you have userspace luks driver
12:17:24 <bennabiy> That is what I thought
12:17:44 <tsoome_> LX is passing linux syscalls to illumos kernel where those calls are translated 
12:19:48 <bennabiy> Can you remind me the proper illumos way of getting non ZFS drive info to be able to fill in my JSON config?
12:20:20 <bennabiy> Sorry, it has been years since I have worked in this environment
12:21:15 <tsoome_> whole disk device ends with p0
12:21:28 <bennabiy> thanks
